Happy birthday! ^_^

today, February 9th is my mom's birthday! last time my friend's mom had a birthday, they ordered chinese and Courtney,my friend, had to ask me to not only lend her money so that she could get her mom a small gift, but also had me buy it too. In my family I like to try and make birthday's special! it only comes once a year and unlike other holiday's this holiday is unique to you(yes i know other people can have the same birthday as you but not many other peopel, and the focous is still on you, for the most part). so, as i do with even single thing that i possible can, i procrastinated untill the very last possable minute to do all the things that needed to get done. Wensday i had to go straight from school to an apointment than straight to work, and i didn't get back untill 9:00 at night, so i didn't have time to shop like i had planned, and yesterday i tried to get a preemptive strike against my brother by not even letting him on the computer because i knew if i let him on i would never get him off, and we had to go shopping!! so after a quick after school snack we went out to go shopping, but of course, my brother has no money for a girt-.-. *sigh* so of course it's up to me to lend him some money for this special occasion. So after stopping at the bank and cashing my check with the intent of spending all or most of it in one day of shopping. So we finally made it to wal-mart, our one-stop-shopping store for just about anything and we were looking around for a few of the things she said she wanted when i saw their valentine's section and i relized that valentine's day was slowly creeping up on me and i still had no idea what i was going to get my boyfriend. But it's so not fair! i mean, guys have it so easy! Flowers, candy, cute stuffed animals, jewlery, are all perfectly acceptable, easy, apropriate gifts for a girl for valentine's day. But what are we supposed to do!! it's so not fair. But my brother and i did manage to fine several birthday gifts for our mom than all the essentials like, ribbon, wrapping paper, candles, ballons, streamers, and birthday cards. we were heading out of the store at last with the $70 worth of gifts when we had to, of course, stop to play the "trophy hunting game" in the front of the store. My brother totally creamed me-.-, but it was totally unfair! the does were jumping into my line of fire, like "shoot me! shoot me!" stupid does..-.-. But we got home and hid the gifts in my already incredibly cramped closet, and waited untill after diner for our parents to leave for their weekly bowling game so that we could get some of the things ready. Well...like i mentioned before, i'm a bit of a procrastinator so of course i was being lazy watching t.v. and complete one after another " one last song" of guitar hero, and before i knew it, it was already 9:20 at night....20 minutes before my parents return. so i ran upstairs, pried my brother away from the computer, and we had a speed round of ballon blowing uping ( that sounds weird) and let me tell you after blowing up these annoying little ballons for 20 straight minutes, it gets pretty tiring. We finished blowing them up just as out parents got home. so we had to quickly round up all the ballons and hide them. then we all watched surviver, one of several "family shows" that we watch every week. And it's only at 11:00 that i realize we still havn't wrapped the presents and that i forgot one major componet nessesary for every birthday... yeah the cake. Got the candels,forgot the cake. So today after school I have to somehow, get home, make a cake, wrap all her presents and then i have to work-.-. of all the days that my boss decides to scheduale me even though i have requested the day off he picks today. then after working in a restuarant for 4-5 hours i have to go out with my family...to a resturant, my mom's favorite, Fridays. Ok, so it's now 10:30 at night, we eat diner, moms opened her lovly gifts, and everyone's happy, now i can relax and get a good night's sleep.....Ha yeah right, of course not, i still have to meet a few of my friends to go glow bowling, at 11:30 at night....for 2 hours....then i have to drive all the way home while my best friend will probably sleep the whole way. Bur if i can manage to stay away for the drive home then maybe i'll be able to get some sleep...though, i doubt it...
