I had another overall good day. I slept in...which is fine by me. Got up around noon...had breakfast and lunch (yup I was a piggie today). Then Mom and I made cupcakes, carrot and chocolate...both with cream cheese frosting and star sprinkles. They're pretty. Okay...we did cheat a bit though...we used mixes. LOL. All good though. Afterwards had my shower and got ready to head out. We went for Chinese food for supper (my bday request) and then over to my sisters were myself, my parents, both my sisters, their husbands, my two nephews, and my oldest nephew's girlfriend, and 3 dogs and 2 cats all got together. It is always so nice to get the family together (another birthday request). We pigged out on Dairy Queen ice cream cake which was decorated with stars, and we had the cupcakes, and all kinds of goodies. My sister was being a complete goof...dressing up in my oldest nephews big oversized clothes and pretending to be gangster-like...it was halarious. I wish I could loosen up like that and just be silly...I'm trying to relearn how to be like that...but I can't seem to relax enough. Did play Guitar Hero with my youngest nephew though. I started to relax some with that...but that was towards the end of the evening. I did hear that Hannah is doing better. Her fever broke...it had been up around 102 most of the time...and she was eating better today. I even heard they may send her home tomorrow so that is a good sign. She's a little trooper. Now if we could figure out why I've had a headache for the last 5 days or so we'd be all set. I'm doing my best to ignore it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'm planning to head back to my place tomorrow. I've been at my parents house forever. I feel like if I'm here so much I should just stop renting my place and pay rent to my parents. But I think after another week of being here I'd probably go nuts...I need to make more friends before moving back here...lol. That way if I am having a bad time here I have somewhere else to go for a few days. It would be nice in some ways to be living at my parents because even though I'd have to pay rent I'd be able to save more money and get myself out of debt quciker...or at least closer to it. Well...it's almost 1am so I should go. I had a good day. God has blessed me to another year. It was only a few years ago that I used to absolutely hate birthday because they'd remind me how depressed and horrible my year had been and how I'd promised myself I'd never live to my next birthday. I'm so glad that I did live though. Sure things still get tough at times but they aren't nearly the hell they used to be. Things can truly get better in time. I thank God so much for allowing me to see that and have that opportunity.

i\'m so happy you had such a great birthday; keep your hopes up!! all will come to pass. and as for moving back in with your \'rents, maybe you should and get a little more nurturing, then re-leave the nest (and relieve your debt LOL haha pun intended). there\'s no shame in going home- people in Spain live with their parents til they\'re in their 30s (I wouldn\'t last that long) in my case i\'m living with the sistAH so it\'s a little different but i\'m allowing myself to be loved again and it\'s great. the key is not to get TOO comfortable...
*hugs* thanks for all your journal comments!! i\'m wary of meeting up with that older guy but i don\'t want to hurt his feelings *cough cough allofasuddeni\'msick cough* :D
and BE GOOFY you only live once :)
Goofy not Goofy it doesn\'t matter you are awonderful caring person and I am so glad all your family got together to celebrate with you. Family can be the glue that hold us all together. I know I feel that way about ours, can\'t imagine what life would have been like without my brood.
