Are you kidding me?

Mom- I know you already heard this story, but.....

Ok so Friday Mitch will turn 40. For the past 6 months I have been asking him what he wants to do. I have gone from a party at Green Meadows, to maybe going to Vegas, to now a BBQ with friends. He said he didn't want me to do anything. That he just wanted a small bbq after school with some friends. Mitch is the type of guy where if you plan something or try to get him to do something he doesn't want to do he is a total pain in the ass to be around. He can even be rude. So I was not planning a hug party. Now he is saying what are you planning for my b-day and now my small BBQ has become an event to which MItch has invited 50 people! And he has been giving me a hard time cause I haven't planned anything. So now I have a list of stuff to do that is a mile long. I told him I was ordering acake and he had the nerve to say I don't need a cake. I know for a fact if I did not have a cake he would say hey it is my birthday. Where is my cake? I just want to kick his ass. So I am running around trying to get massive amounts of crap done. Hope you all are enjoying your weekend.
