Refreshed.

I had so much fun today! I truly feel loved right now. This morning Little Man and I went to McDonald's for breakfast. I ordered hot cakes and oatmeal, and the cashier girl forgot to ring up my oatmeal, but all was well. I wasn't really hungry, I was just really ordering to eat something.  LM had a ton of fun playing on the slides. The indoor play structure at our local McDonald's is wonderful.  At first LM didn't want to play, but after I joined in by sitting at the end of the plastic slide and calling his name he was all for it. The last time I did this, I hid by the side of the slide and pop out at him. He thought that was so hilarious. Soon after that a couple little boys came and started playing with him. I think that LM is now the age that other little kids want to come and play with him now. I think this maybe due to the fact that he now looks more like a little boy (and talks so well) instead of a baby.

After McDonald's I stopped by the bank and deposited my hubby's checks into the bank.  My new bank has such incredibly nice tellers comparing to where I was banking at before. The last thing that I want is a surely teller when I deposit my money into my account. 

We had to make a stop by the dollar store and pick up some wrapping paper for my little niece's presents. We also got a hula hoop and some bows.

When we got home we wrapped my little nieces presents and ate some left over pizza from last night.  I tried to spot clean my apartment just in case someone wanted to stop over after the party.  We got redressed and did our hairs, and walked out the door. That's when it occurred to me that I didn't have a card. So, back to the dollar store we went to. I seriously have a problem spending more than a dollar on a card for a four year old, this makes me truly grateful for this store. 

We stopped back by the dollar store and we ran in and got a card for our little niece.  We ran out. The man that works at the dollar store is really nice. His accent makes him sound like he is from Georgia, but I didn't have the courage to ask him. Primarily, because sometimes people sound like they have accents and they don't. Next time I am in there I will ask him.  Anyways, he such a nice older man and really takes pride in his work. That is really refreshing to see in Wisteria Lane where I live. I think that it might be an unsaid rule that if you don't make over 40k here that you can not take pride in your work. True, but sad. Very very sad.

I got to the roller skating rink, but initially I didn't know if it was the right place to go because the invitation said rolleramma 2 and the sign said rolleramma 1.  I went inside just to check, and it was the correct place.  I ran back to the car with LM and got our perfectly wrapper presents out to bring in.  I had to pay for  my skates because only children are covered in the skating parties.  LM had so much fun visiting his grandma, papa, uncles and aunts, all of his little friends. Everyone that had skates took him for a spin around the rink. It was so beautiful.  I skated around the rink holding LM and my little niece's and hands. I felt so happy.  Papa brought a gift for a little man, a bag full of new clothes and toys.  Grandma brought him a new little monster truck. He was so happy.

I think that I am a pretty good roller bladder. In fact this young woman came up and asked me if I wanted to race. I would have, but I had to look after my boy.  I told her I would have loved to, but I couldn't. This was actually a smart move, because when they did have the race she smoked on the rink. She would have been done while I was half way through. 

We played a racing game and the candy grab claw game, and skating around the practice rink a few times. 

I asked my mother in law if she would like to come over after the party, and she came over and we visited awhile.  All three of went out to dinner at Red Robin. I really enjoyed talking to her. I finally found out the reason for my hubby's friends divorce. My hubby wouldn't tell me, all he said was that he might have hit a few times. My mother in law told me the real reason was because my hubby's best friend was cheating on his wife in a long relationship.  I don't know but isn't that highly suspect that he wouldn't tell me that. Why wouldn't he tell me that. While my mother in law was telling me this Hubby called.  I had Alex pick up the phone, and when he handed it to me, I just hung up. I had not yet heard everything that my mother in law was telling me. I tried to call back several times after dinner was over, and hubby didn't call back.  He has yet to call back. Something is seriously highly suspect here.

One person that did call was my father in law. He called just to say that it was nice to see me, and that he was sorry that he didn't get to see me on his rounds when he was saying good bye. I chatted with him for a few minutes, and then drove home for a couple of  minutes.

As soon as I got home, I felt a certain kind of restlessness. I was not yet ready to settle down for the day, so I took my son to get ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery. He really enjoyed watching the girl make his ice cream. He keep on saying, "wooooooowwww." Too cute.

I called my friend Amy because her birthday is coming up, and I hadn't spoken to her in awhile.  She is doing great. Her autism support group is doing really well, and she is making money under the table. I told her one of my favorite expressions mind f*ck, which means to be so mentally bothered that you are almost incapacitated. This usually happens when someone else does it to you.  She thought that was the funniest thing she had every heard, and she promised that the word would be forever added to her vocabulary. On the way home, I picked up a the latest Zac Brown Band CD.

Then it was homeward bound. Little man and I took a shower, and then finished watch the movie, UP that we had started about a week ago.  Then it was tuck in time and bed for my sweetie. 

Now I am sitting here watching the final episode of Sex and the City. I am going to sit down and finish reading The Secret before bed.

I just feel so incredibly blessed today.  I couldn't have asked for a better day. I haven't had such a good day since the fun weekends that Little Man and I used to have when my hubby and I were separated.  I felt truly refreshed.
