On Thursday Abe didn’t come home until after 9pm, so Liberty, our neighbor, came over so I could sneak and buy Lydia’s birthday balloons. Then I set out her presents, made sure the house was clean, and went to bed. I am back blogging so I don’t really remember much else from this day. Oh! We got Panda Express for dinner. I told Lydia she could have whatever fast food she wanted (because, sadly, I was too overwhelmed at packing and birthday planning to cook), and she chose that. I hate Panda Express, but it was Lydia’s birthday, so we got it. All of the kids wasted theirs, so I’m never doing that again. But Lydia was happy, so that’s all that matters, right?
