There were two things that were causing me great anxiety: 1) we had to enter into a lottery to get a "spot" for next years preschool class for the boys and 2) Aaron said to be ready to go and looking cute at 11:00 am because he had a birthday surprise for me (bday isn't until 8/25). Now really these were not huge things, but I like to know what's going on--when, where, why and how. I had no control whatsoever of these two things, and it makes me extremely uncomfortable. To make a long story short, I get all ready and think Aaron and I are going together to get the boys signed up for preschool and then on to some unknown activity and then the doorbell rings. Who could it be, but my FAVORITE girls-- Mom, Ani (sister) and Kim (cousin/best friend). We all started screaming and then someone said "Surprise!!" I looked curiously at Aaron and he said, "Have fun!" So he went to register the boys for school and the girls took me out for an early birthday treat!
We went and got our nails done (fingers and toes!) then over to Cheesecake Factory for a most tasty lunch , then we shopped around a little and finished the delightful day with some Pinkberry. It really was so fun to be with just the girls and not have to worry about hurrying for naps or waiting for the inevitable meltdown. I loved every minute of it and I couldn't have asked for a better 30th birthday present!!
Aaron did get BOTH the boys into preschool and I'm so thrilled. They only have 20 openings per year and it's hard to get into, because it's a great price and a great program. 2 more weeks and I will have 6 hours a week with only 1 child- woohoo!!! But let's be truthful here, of course the #1 reason I am enrolling the boys in preschool is for the educational aspect- NOT because it gives me a break. :-)

Yay!! Happy Birthday Danielle Son! What a fun and much deserved day. Doesn't it feel good to be loved and surprised? On the preschool note, I'm so THRILLED that I get a break everyday from my son in about 13 days! I'm sure the feeling is mutual for him as well.
