The day before my birthday was like any other day, I got up got the boys ready, was all set to leave early so I could make it to Crossfit after dropping the boys off at daycare. But Bacon, our pig, had other plans. She was out of her pen again, luckily she just hangs out in the horse corral and doesn't wonder off but we couldn't just leave her out. So I donned my mucking boots and went out there to help Chloe get Bacon back in her pen and reinforce the weak spot. This took a while. By the time we were done I had to take the boys to daycare and then come back for Chloe and take her to school, no Crossfit workout for me. I left dropping Chloe off and headed to town to get coffee and to look at new daycare for the boys. CYFD wanted to move them closer to town to make it easier for pick ups and visits. After I left there and ran by hobby lobby I headed home to work on organizing the garage and hunting down some things for Trav. No such luck - Daycare called and Ethan, our youngest kiddo, was sick. He had a fever and runny nose and had had 2 yucky diapers. So I headed to get the boys from daycare. The kicker was that since he was sick he couldn't return for 24hrs - meaning he would be home with me on my b-day. The day I had been looking forward to, the day I had nothing planned but just doing whatever I wanted and enjoying some peace and quiet. Maybe going shopping with no one whining at me or saying I am hungry and I need this or that.


To finish off the birthday celbration Chloe and I participated in the Dirty Dash on Saturday and had a blast. At first Chloe was nervous and actually said she didn't want to do it any more. I laugh because that girl is too much like me, we both like to know what to expect and what is going to happen. So we actually ended up going a bit early so she couldn't have any more time to think about it. First off we had to run through a mud pit and we slipped and splashed and laughed and we continued on. She did awesome, we ran a bit and she attempted all the obstacles, only one got the better of her, the monkey bars. On a positive note I conquered those bars - my personal triumph. I have never been able to do those things and I did them all in one motion and without falling. A good end to this birthday.
