Happy birthday to me

One of my zoo pics from the International PhotoWalk. Isn't she just beautiful!

Today is my 54th birthday. Wahoo...ugh! As normal, I spent it by myself. Wes at work (I thought he would take the day off), Morgan is working a double shift at the restaurant and when she comes home, Courtenay, her boyfriend will be here. Barb sent beautiful red roses. She lives in Colorado. Too far for just a days' visit. I didn't hear from Whitney, my middle child until late today. I could tell in her voice that she was in a uproar. I had thought I would get to see the baby but she did not bring him. I could really whine about that but I won't go into that today. I hate to compare myself to how well they do for the other grandmaw.Wes gave me a computer book. I have yet to hear from my brother. I know he is busy with getting a rent house painted to rent out again.

I would like to change my life but I do not have the funds in which to make any changes. I have gone back to writing. Picking up the two chapters where I left off. Joined a writing group that meets twice a month. Trying to start a photography group for people over 50. So far only men have signed up. I hope a couple of women sign up soon.

Rain today. The only good thing to happen today. I wished that it had rained more than 30 minutes though. We need the rain here as in elsewhere in Texas. Oh well, if I thought hard enough I could find someone that has it worse. It was just that I had hopes for today.

Tired isn't the right word

I have been running like crazy everyday for nearly two weeks trying to get two back-to-back parties organized + a high school graduation. Relatives started arriving on a Thursday, Friday was a family graduation meal that a neighbor gave. I ran the tires off the car picking up last minute things and the graduation cake for the neighbor as she had worked the night shift on Thursday night and was trying to get in a few winks before everyone landed at her house.

Then turn around after the party was over and cleaned the dishes, packed away the left over food, and discovered that we had not cut the graduation cake. So we all decided to land back at the neighbors after graduation for cake and ice cream. I think it was around midnight by the time we went home and the family members went back to their hotels.

Saturday was not much better as it was the grandson's 1st birthday and his cake had to be picked up, more plastic tableware had to be purchased and stuffed japaleno's had to be made. Party was suppose to start around 11 or 12 but in reality it was 2 pm.

I am so tired that I can't remember what day, Saturday or Sunday I took my great nephew fishing. I do have pictures so I know I did go fishing. Goodnight.
