Treasure Hunt

Demian's b-day today and he's traveling to Richmond. All my plans gone to shit. What's that my father-in-law always says? 'Want to make God laugh - make a plan". Well, that certainly applied today, I had a great meal planned that both Demian and the boys would love. No small feat that is, believe me! A cake, candles, presents, the whole 9 yards. Demian sprung this on me yesterday. I thought I was gonna kick his ass. But, it is his birthday, so he's gotta be upset too. I guess I should have compassion - not my forte I guess. Anyway, we improvised. He didn't get back until almost 7pm, so, I put the great meal on hold until Friday (better for me - it wasn't very weight watcher points friendly and my weigh-in is Friday AM) and just did the gift. To make it special, we made it into a treasure hunt, clues all over the house. Zachary was so into it, running from clue to clue singing, 'we are looking for blues clues....'. Funny as all get-out. Joshua was just pissed that I was holding him, so he was kind of loud, yelling at me to be let down, but that didn't spoil a thing. Demian loved his gift - a new mountain bike and he was totally surprised. I'm glad he liked it, but I'm kind of wondering who this alien chick is who invaded my body. I mean - hello - a treasure hunt? I don't even like to wrap presents. Good lord, I told my best friend Jess about it and she said, 'who are you and what have you done with Carolyn?" Oh well, it was fun and the boys loved it. So there!
