Inspired
Sometimes I can be a big spoiled brat!
Case in point:
Yesterday was my 32nd birthday, my hubby is only in town for 6 days, I was away 2
of those 6 days at cheer camp, and 2 of the other days we were at a soccer tournament. We took the kids to Lagoon Amusement Park on my birthday because it was really the only day to go while Jason was here.
Instead of just being happy with seeing how happy the kids were with being at Lagoon, I was having a little pitty party because the day wasn't about me. We didn't do cake and ice cream, we didn't do presents, we didn't sing to me, we didn't celebrate MY birth.
Instead we spent the day as a family, enjoying each second before Daddy leaves again. Ate way too many snow cones and churros. Laughed our butts off when we got DRENCHED on the water rides. Laughed when Avery did a little dance in front of everyone. Went on ride after ride until we all felt a little sick. Sat under the big shade tree and talked and giggled. Pretty much having a perfect day.
Except for my inner pout fest that I was doing.
Why am I such a brat?
So my hubby, he's a smart cookie, he figured out that I was being a bit pouty, and he felt bad. HE felt bad!!! So today he and the kids took me out to lunch, then shopping, then dinner, then watched Scorcerer's Apprentice. Made me a cake, sang to me and bought me presents.
And of course, I had ANOTHER pout fest.
Because now I feel like such a loony bin for being upset about yesterdays birthday, and making my awesome family feel like they had to do a re-do. I am seriously so disappointed with myself.
I'm normally not such a brat. Like for reals. I don't know why I was this time.
But it got me to thinking that I don't EVER EVER EVER want to act like that again.
I am so inspired to make it up to my family. I am inspired to have that be the FIRST and the LAST temper tantrum I throw as a 32 year old.
Thanks family for being too good to me. Thanks for going the extra mile for me and making me feel extra special. Thanks for putting up with me and not telling me that I am, in fact, acting like a brat!!
I love you guys! Thanks for loving me!

I'm glad you were "inspired", but my darling..we are women, so never say NEVER! HEE HEE As women, we are entitled to pity fests every once in a while....especially on important days! I'm glad you had such a fabulous weekend though, you totally deserved it! LOVES! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Sometimes we just need some extra loving, and be told loud and clear, We are SPECIAL!
Plus, I've seen your pouty, (it's cute on you).
I think you were just missing your Mom. Ha, ha.
LOVE YOU BUNCHES,
XXXXXXOOOOOO
I think we all do that on occasion...as long as it's on occasion and not the norm. Glad you had a wonderful birthday...twice.
I'm laughing right now only because I'm picturing you throwing a tantrum the way Urban throws a tantrum. Now that would be something to see! A 32 year old acting like the Urbanator. hee hee
I think we've all been there. I still need to celebrate your birthday with you. Hopefully I do everything right so I don't receive the wrath of Heather. TOTALLY KIDDING! I'm sure you weren't as bad as you think you were. =)
