Happy Birthday Chris!

Crissy May 6th, 2006

No, not my Chris, but a friend of ours who was turning 40. You know I think I am one of the few women out there who don’t care how old anyone is because I love birthdays and especially birthday celebrations! Call me crazy but I will not only let you guess my age, but proudly announce it.

I was so excited to be going to the party after being sick all this week, until I realized what that meant…

We arrived at the party and everyone was happy to see us. These are Chris’s friends from high school and even though they are a little older than I am, we all get along very well. Most of them have not seen Aiden since last September, so they were amazed to how big he had gotten.

All of the couples have children and before Chris and I decided to procreate, we were the ones their kids wanted to play with, as we are the youngest of the group. Although we are now part of the parents group, the kids still want us to join them. I was requested to play soccer with the boys and gladly obliged. I had a ball! (No pun intended) It was nice to do something a little more active then pushing a stroller.

While we were enjoying the wonderful company, warm sun and cool breeze, some clouds rushed in and the breeze picked up. Apparently the pollen was blowing all around because as I was chatting with some friends my eyes decided they couldn’t take it anymore. I was tearing like a crying baby complimented by a lovely glow of puffiness all around my eyes. I started to get stuffy and the drip in the back of my throat, which I dreadfully remembered from earlier in the week, came back with a vengeance. And so it resumed, the allergies were once again upon me!

It wasn’t long before our friends started to encourage Chris to take me home because I looked so awful. As this is usually a pretty normal part of spring for me, I tried to ignore it, but it was getting late and Aiden was getting restless being so close to his bedtime. Home we went and I was pretty much wiped out for the night.

So much for enjoying a weekend of fun after being sick and getting even sicker.
