It's My Pity Party and I'll Cry If I Want To

I just walked out of my kitchen and realized that I had just thrown together a pot of vegetable soup and a small pan of cornbread. I also realized that was my birthday dinner. No one offered to take me out to dinner, no one offered me even a small piece of cake. My mother couldn't be bothered to miss her Monday night cluck fest at her friend's house. My gifts were literally tossed at me without benefit of wrapping paper and I didn't even get a card from my kids. I've talked to my dad on the phone 3 times today and he has yet to tell me "Happy Birthday".

Busy-ness

Obviously it has been awhile since I have written- well, written anything here. I've been writing regularly for Associated Content and if you look to the right of this post you will see my content listing. I'm sure you will all want to take a moment and read all of my exciting holiday ideas. :-)

I have been busy with PTA activities and my sociology course. I've got to get started studying for my final in 2 weeks. *UGH*

I just returned from a "girlfriend's getaway" to Dallas. I went with my friend Christy and we had a great time. We did just a little shopping and dining and spent time with some other friends who live in Dallas. It was very relaxing.

I'm also a search guide with ChaCha now and am making a little extra cash that way. I've got their search toolbar at the top of the blog, so check it out sometime and you will be amazed at how great it is to have someone else do your searching for you.

My darling children are great and annoying all at the same time. I'm not sure they missed me while I was gone, but they were certainly happy to see me show up with a surprise for them.
