I've been super busy the last week on call at the hospital. It's been brutal--I was on for July 4th and had to go in to the hospital in the middle of the night for emergency procedures three nights in a row. Lots of steak and chicken getting stuck from July 4th BBQs! Between the emergency cases at night, DS2 still waking up at least 3x/night, plus getting called at 1 & 3 am two nights in a row by a security system false alarm that triggered at our neighbor's house (apparently they listed us as an emergency contact), plus super busy days at the hospital, I was exhausted and running on fumes! My call week is finally done (whew!), but DH left today on a 10 day diving trip to Alaska. So I'm going to be taking care of the 3 kids by myself this coming week. All I want for my birthday is some sleep!
It was kind of a bummer being on call and working all day on my birthday, but I got a nice card from all the office staff, and lots of birthday wishes on my Facebook, and when I got home DH had flowers and a Kate Spade gift certificate for me and had made dinner and a special chocolate cake for me (non-dairy, non-soy, non-egg because of DS2's allergies that I have to avoid while nursing). And DD and DS1 made cards for me, and DD gave me a bracelet that she made and a quarter to buy "something fancy". So cute! I'm so lucky to have family and friends surrounding me!
I wore a simple but dressy poppy-colored sheath dress. Fun to get a little dressed up for my birthday even if I was just at work. With some turquoise accents, and nude sandals to show off my orange toenails to match my dress (just got my first pedicure recently, and the shade is Opi A Good Man-darin is Hard to Find). Actually to tell you the truth, I picked the dress to wear because it matched my toes! The outfit kind of reminds me of Angie's 40th birthday sheath dress outfit, which is so fun because we are birthday twins! Happy Birthday Angie! Thanks for making this such a fun place to hang out!
