Thank you for all my awesome birthday messages, cards, ecards and good wishes! It really made my day extra special. The only ones who seem to have forgotten were ... my parents! This is typical and it just reminds me what kind of parent and grandparent I want to be. On to better things!
Hubby gave me a great card:
Hubby and the boys took me to a "surf and turf" restaurant where they have the BEST house salad dressing. By best I mean tastiest and pore-stopping-smelliest-for-days-afterwards salad dressing. We only treat ourselves once in a while because it's really fatty on top of really smelly but this gal only turns 43 once!
I asked the boys to take a picture of me with Hubby, then I turned the camera on them. Oldest Son is always willing even though he doesn't like to get his picture taken. Youngest Son, on the other hand and like so many other elements in his life, is always the pill.
It was a relatively quick dinner since both boys had plans. Hubby and I came home, brushed our teeth, changed into comfy clothes, brushed our teeth, turned on the tv, dozed on the couch, brushed our teeth and I was in bed asleep before 9:30 PM! Yep, that's me celebrating like someone forgot the lock the gate ... to the bed with the electric blanket!
It was an evening filled with laughter and good feelings. The perfect birthday present for my heart.
