Yesterday was my husband's birthday. It was also my sister's anniversary. I didn't call and wish her a happy anniversary. Sorry. I was busy getting ready for husband's party. This shouldn't have been hard since I was only having 14 people over. However, Friday afternoon we left to go to a race. It was 6 hours away from our house; about 2 hours north of Elmira, NY. Saturday was race day and fortunately since the weather forcast wasn't great they pushed the race through and we were done by 2:00 pm. We got home at 8:00, went for a quick dinner and at dinner the boys and I told husband we were having a party for him the next day. The look of confusion that crossed his face was priceless. The boys just started laughing. Needless to say, Sunday morning was spent doing a mad dash to pick up the house and get all the food ready. We also had to make sure the yard was cleaned up. Husband was not happy about his friends coming over. He almost through a temper tantrum even though the boys and I did all the work while we made him stay inside and relax. Of course once the first car pulled up he was happy and totally relaxed and it ended up being a lot of fun.

Tonight Husband is with big son racing again. It is at a track about 1 1/2 hours from our house, but the minimum age to race is 14 and there is no age limit. Big Son has never race there before and I got a call 20 minutes ago from him telling me that he won his heat race (after starting 25th in 10 laps) and is starting on the pole. He is racing against a lot of guys older than him and if he finishes 10th in the feature he can come home with $500.00. If he wins, since there are 50 cars racing, he can come home with $4,000.00. Not to bad for a night. Good luck baby!!
