Here's what I have gotten for my birthday: a nice birthday card from my dear mother-in-law, with one hundred dollars in it. Yay! I think it is so nice that she does that for me every year...it is like the only money that is mine, since I don't work, and since I never actually put those things on ebay that I think I am going to....
Here's what I have done so far on my birthday....gotten up at eight o'clock, came out into a still quiet living room, tip-toed out on to the deck to visit my sweet little Rosie-Boo, had 20 minutes of cuddle and petting time. She is SO glad to see me each morning. She didn't care a bit that I had brought her out some breakfast, she just wanted to cuddle.
Then I got a cup of coffee and a bowl of Life cereal.....and here I am...Sonja is up now, and I hear other voices....one voice in particular that I am ignoring, which is saying, "Get your lazy ........out of that chair and sweep the floor!!! Clean up that popcorn mess on the counter! Start a load of towels!..."....oh, that voice never shuts up. Hey, it's my birthday! The one day I shouldn't feel guilty for sitting here writing and reading when I should be working....
It is supposed to be a beautiful day. I should take the kids to a beach or something.....hey, maybe I will. I was thinking of going shopping with Margaret to help her find a bathing suit....but if I go shopping with Margaret, I also have to take seven other kids with me....and do I want to go bathing suit shopping on a beautiful day?.....
I have been thinking a little about how my birthdays were when I was a little girl. We didn't have much money, and one year, when I was I think ten, my mother offered me the choice of either $10 or a birthday party. I chose the $10.......at K-Mart I bought a jacket, and some Snicker bars, and had at least $4 leftover. I had spending money for the rest of the summer....candy bars were only a dime then, and you could still get penny candy.....
Well, Camille-the-busy-one is up now, so I need to move it...she needs changing and feeding and cuddling....

Happy Birthday to you, and forget about the work for as long as you can get away with it. ;-)
I've been a follower of yours for months and am coming out of the woodwork to say "Happy Birthday!" Your family and life is more interesting than you give yourself credit for. I truly don't know how you do all you do. Hoping you had a happy day!
I'm here again to say Happy Birthday! I really thought I'd talk to you today, and I called, but Abigail said you were ....
Anyway, I'm sure you had a great day, and remember, it's now a birthday WEEKEND, most definitely, because it falls on a Friday.
