World of Warcraft and Birthday Candles

Good afternoon! How is your day? Mine is going pretty well. Hectic as always. Grab a glass of tea and have a seat. I need a break anyway.
Today is B's birthday. 11 years old. Wow, how time flies. We always ask the kids what they want as a meal for their birthday. B wanted turkey, gravy, potatoes, dressing... you know, Thanksgiving dinner. But he didn't tell me until supper last night! There isn't enough time to run get the turkey, cook it all day and have it ready before midnight tonight. So we had to compromise. We are having leftovers tonight, then tomorrow night we will have the turkey. So, I had to run to the store, get all the things needed for the dinner tomorrow night, pick up the cake, buy a gift, and get home and work on my book.
I got everything done, but I forgot the candles! B said he doesn't care about candles, he loves his cake. I feel like the worst Mom in the world for forgetting something as silly as candles.
He is home from school now and doing his Math homework in the living room. We are charging one of his gifts, a remote controlled Ed Hardy Helicopter. His Dad is going to help him trim it. It is something you have to do to new rc helicopters.
I am trying to do the updates for World of Warcraft, I haven't played in 2 years so there are like a million gigs of updates to download for it. I just decided yesterday I wanted to start playing again, so we renew the subscription for both mine and my husband's account. His has already finished the downloads and he is playing. I am still downloading.
I told you yesterday my Dad got B an electric scooter for a gift. While we were out, we picked him up a new Sonic game for the WII and the 30th anniversary edition of Jaws. He loves that movie. We are hoping he likes it. He is really easy about things like that. He isw just happy to get something. He acts like we never get him anything.
Okay, I have to get this off my chest before I explode. I called Sylvan Learning Centers to see about tutoring for S for the EOG's. They charge an arm and a leg. It was about $200 just for testing, then the amount for the actual tutoring. It is an outrage. I felt like they were saying that if you aren't rich, your kid doesn't count. That is so wrong to do. I know they have to charge a fee because they have expenses, but it should not be that much. I think people in different neighborhoods should get together and tutor children as a trade. Like if one person is good at math but not good at Language Arts, then they trade with each other. It will be good for the kids. But that is just my opinion, tell me what you think.
I have to go, I am being buzzed by a helicopter now. Talk to you later.
