my work day is almost done. i am so glad. my mood has gotten a bit better, i'm not so cranky.

i talked to my mom earlier today. my birthday is coming up and she decided to tell me what she had planned for it. she thought it would be a "happy" surprise. she took it upon herself to call my biological dad (parents have been divorced for a every long time, and i always refer to my step-dad as my dad) and invite him to my youngest son's play at school. which happens to fall on the same day as my birthday. she also invited him, my stepmom, my half-sister and her family over to the house afterwards for cake and ice cream. i know my mom did all of this for her love for me. but, she didn't realize that i would invite my soon to be ex to the play also. it doesn't mean that he will show up for his son's play, but i still felt like he should be invited. everyone in my family does not want anything to do with him. which they have every right to feel that way as do i. but, it puts me in a really awkward (sp?) position. now i'm not looking forward to my birthday. i do love my mom for trying, i know she means well...but it makes me want to scream.

tonight after work i will be baking cookies, chocolate covered pretzels and rice crispy treats. and possibly getting drunk ;)
