Birthday and Mothers Day

I am way late posting this, but last Saturday I turned the yucky 29 years old. I can't believe I am that old. Kinds sucks knowing I only have one more year to be in my twenties.
Sadly my birthday AND Mothers Day sucked pretty much.. They basically felt like any other day. Byron had to get up early on my birthday to go to Phoenix to help his brother with his eagle project. Then straight from that he had to go to work. He works all weekends now 12p.m - 11 p.m. Kinda sucks sometimes, especially when things are happening on the weekends. However, he does get Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday off. So that is really nice to have him home for three straight days. It has been quite an adjustment though. My routine is totally out of order and I have yet to get back into one.
OK, so back to my birthday. So Byron is at work, the kids are driving my crazy, and it's my birthday. kinda sucks. Oh well.
However, we got some new neighbors two months ago and she is awesome. We get together every weekend and take turns making dinner for each other and then watch a movie after our kids have gone to bed. Her husband, ironically, has the same work schedule as Byron, so we are both home alone at for a few hours at night. So she made dinner, lasagna by my request. It was delicious. Then we ate dessert and put the kids to bed and watched our movie. So that was at least fun.
Mothers Day, we wake up early and get ready for 8:00 am church, which sadly about 80% of the time we are late to. Right after church Byron leaves to go to work. Again, just a normal day. Luckily, the kids weren't too bad, and we just chilled and watched movies all day long.
Despite my birthday and mothers day feeling like any other day, Byron did get me the best present EVER!!!! At least I think it is some of you may not think so.

I love it. Yes, it does take up a little too much room in my kitchen, but i cleared out all of my cupboards(ok, actually not all of my cupboards) and just feel so much more organized. By doing so, I realized there were actually quite a few cans that are really close to expiring. I had better get busy and make meals using those ingredients. The middle area is empty because it is made for medium size cans. So I just need to adjust it to fit some of the smaller cans. Can't wait for it to be all the way full.
