Happy Birthday To Me 2006

well today i am officially 26 years old, more gray hairs, more issues, the usual for me it seems. i was in the dentists office all morning, spent over a 100 dollars, had one tooth with a cavity filled and was told that i had to come back and get one of my wisdom tooth pulled because it has two cavities in it, so that is just great. so next friday i had my appt for the biopsy with the obgyn, and now i have an appt with the dentist to find out how much it is going to be to have it pulled, it estimated at 200-300 dollars with my insurance, and then to have it pulled if i desire to do it at that time. which i might as well just get it done. so that was a great thing on my birthday, so now i am still in pain, and uncomfortable cant eat on side of my mouth, and have to go back next week for more things to be done, which is just great. i have never had a tooth pulled before, but from what i have heard it isnt very pleasant. well, other then that whole wonderful experience today, today was nice. i met my parents for lunch after that (with the kids, because they watched them today) them i went shopping for a few hours, managed to get a few pieces of clothing for myself, then i went to the party that my mom had for me. which was nice. she had a whole bunch of food there and it was fun. she also gave me a few nice presents, including a one of those three layer scented candles, and also some cookbooks because she saw me looking at them in the bookstore, which was really thoughtful. me and my mom had a lot of hard times up until i moved out at age 18 and we still have minor arguments now, but we get along a lot better now, and we have a good relationship. and no matter how much we dont see eye to eye on a lot of things, she is the best mother. she takes care of me, she does what she can, she is always there for me to talk to, and she is so thoughtful. when i need her help, i may have to hear about it for a while, but she always comes through for me. and she has made me the person that i am today by always being there for me, but letting me make my own mistakes and learn on my own. and then telling me i told you so. i hope that in many ways, i am the same way and will be the same with my kids when i need to be. i got a message on my space from HIM today, he answered ""wait, when did you try to contact me?!" so my answer was ""i sent you a message at your _____ address at yahoo. i think that it was about 2 or 3 weeks ago, or something like that." so lets see if he has something to answer to that. here are some pictures from today:

above are pictures of me and the kids at my party, now below is what two of the things that i bought for the kids on my shopping trip today, i couldnt go shopping for me and not get them anything of course....
