You know, not to complain (as I complain) ... but why is my birthday going out or me cooking and hubby's birthday is ALWAYS me doing tons of work? Since we're celebrating with the family on the 4th, I get double duty to cook today too. Father's Day, birthday -- he picks staying home for home cooked things FROM ME.
I don't always mind, but this year I'm tired and want nothing more than doing nothing that requires work from me. And the food is always what I don't want to eat so if I want something, it's extra-extra cooking. And, of course, baking. Because his birthday dessert is always homemade too (per his request).
Don't get me wrong, I love the man and am happy to celebrate him. I just wish celebrating him was less work for me.
Oh, and it's also my sister's birthday -- BIG 5-0 this year.
I'm a bit snarky this morning as you might tell. I'm not sleeping well and I really want some downtime. He gets off so easy for my birthday and then I get slammed for his (especially since it falls so close to the 4th). I wonder if I should change this for next year and request a home cooked meal of my choosing?
Anyway ...
Garden pickings yesterday. First mini eggplant and heirloom carrots. I picked the carrots on accident while I was aerating and fertilizing a pot of mixed things. They're a bit small, but tasty.
Short and sweet today. Grocery store run and cookie making before noon today. Later gators.
