Eric's Birthday

We arrived home as zombies yesterday, with Eric eagerly awaiting our arrival, the house clean, and flowers to welcome us. Maya was asleep after reading to me for over an hour. My body was aching, so after a short bubble bath, I fell into bed and slept soundly until morning. It was Eric's birthday, and I could not wait to wake him up and have him open his present. I was not sure he was impressed with his new IPad, or perhaps he was worried that I spent so much money on it.

Maya gave him his 'Williams and Sonoma' oven mitt, kisses flew around, and we were off to school and work. I picked Maya up early to take her to a violin lesson. She will miss her school music class every Tuesday for a lesson. She seems happy about it and the school is not worried, so I think it will work out. Maya will have more time in the evenings to chill and pursue other activities.

I worried about Tara all day, having had a rough time with her on the weekend. She defriended me from her facebook page, which is the ultimate rejection in these times.

Dinner was at PF Chang's, which was not impressive. I wish I had chosen a better place for Eric's birthday dinner, so I think we will have to redo it later in the week. We will have a party Saturday night at the house to celebrate. Eric is fiddling with his new toy and appears pleased, but finding all sorts of bugs that have to be rectified.

Yoga calmed me and I tried to send as much love energy to Tara as I could. Sid keeps telling me this works, so every time at yoga I concentrate my energy to send good thoughts and feelings in her direction.
