??????????????
POWS just TMed me with "Happy Birthday!!!"
???????????
I just replied "Thank you!!!"
?????????
What IS THIS?????

Rin. You should know by now not to read too much into anything POWS does. Who knows what his motives are? Who cares? Maybe he's just being a "Nice Guy" for a minute. Is he playing games? He can't if you don't play.

He'd have to do 100x more than send you a Happy Birthday wish to restore any semblance of being a Decent Man. When or if he ever does that, then CARE about what he says or thinks.

Your response to him was enough.

Carry on celebrating YOUR day!

Thanks MEDC! I haven't heard anything about it and I refuse to deal with that stuff today!

I may call tomorrow b/c I have a few other things that I would like to talk to them about with the custody thing! Holiday schedule, arrears check (he has until the 14th to pay), etc...

I've been getting the few things that I need and the only thing that I don't have for the basic stuff around the house is a ladder right now...but I borrowed two step ladders for the time being...

I'll leave POWS to his miserable life...

I'm waiting on my pressure washer to come in...I'm excited about that! LMAO...happy B-day ME!!<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Rin:

I see the scene tonight:

Your boys carry in the birthday cake, with the 29 candles....

You try to blow them out, but they are the relighting kind....

Your sons are rolling on the floor and laughing....

THEN:

I can see you putting out the candles with your new leaf blower....

And seeing your boys covered in frosting!

Talk about a birthday!

Make it happy!

Just dropping in to say Happy B-day to you Rin.

Enjoy YOUR day!
Enjoy yourself.
Enjoy your kids.
Enjoy the new life you are making!
Enjoy your house.


Happiness is not having what you want, it's wanting what you have.

If you do go out to eat, give your OS this note (but don't read it!!!):)

********************
FOR OS EYES ONLY

To OS: Excuse yourself to go to the RR and track down your waitperson. Tell them it's your mom's birthday and that she really LOVES surprises. Wouldn't it be nice if the whole waitstaff sang Happy Birthday?
