Which means you have a birthday coming up. My birthdays are kind of boring, usually just dinner out. (Which my kids try to negotiate into eating at Chuckee Cheese or somewhere almost as gross and noisy)

Yup! It's on Monday. I don't make a big deal out of birthdays either. I'll probably just go to the beach and catch a movie. And I'm (slightly) embarrassed to say that I love Chuckee Cheese. My little sister had to go to a party there and I was so happy to go with her. lol

Did you ever see what's at the bottom of a ball pit? So happy they took them out. We "lost" something in one once and it came out "moist". Ewww!!!! Also, one of the last times I went, a kid pooped in the tubes. Not pooped in their diaper in the tube, actually pooped on the tube. Yuck.
