Yesterday was the best birthday ever. Nothing big happened, but so many small things to make it an amazing day for me. First of all, the day before my birthday some of my friends took me out to lunch in Bluff to one of those really earthy type restaurants with plenty of vegetarian choices and all kinds of granola type people hanging out. I love those types of places.
The next day I woke up to 4 crazy boys. Andy had Chris take him to the store the day before to get my present. He loves to save his quarters because he loves to buy gumballs with them whenever we go to the grocery store. Well, in the days following up to my b-day he had been saying to me, "mom, I'm not telling what I got you for your birthday. It's round like a gumball, but I'm not telling what it is. And it tastes like a gumball and looks like a gumball, but I'm not telling." Then I'd beg him to tell me and he'd zip his lip and not say a thing. This is my favorite age! Anyway, back to my birthday. The first present I opened was from Andy....not one, not two, but THREE whole gumballs! Now, that was a sacrifice for that kid to give up 3 gumballs! Then the kids did heavy heavy hangover with the rest of the presents....it was all kinds of swimming stuff...i won't bore you with the details.
Chris sent the older kids off to school and found a babysitter for the youngest. He took me out to my favorite place in town....Peace Tree Juice Cafe. I ate the best wrap and drank the best smoothie ever. Then when I got home a friend brought me flowers and another brought me my very own container of ice cream! I got a call from my madre' singing happy birthday with 25 fifth graders....it was awesome! Then I logged on to my facebook account and lots of people had wished me happy birthday. One of my good friends made me stuffed portabello mushrooms and fruit on the side. Did I tell you I am the luckiest girl on the planet? I got candy from another friend. A call from one of the girls in my Young Women class. And my kids decorated me a cake complete with a number 3 plus 2 regular candles. Tons of other things made it special, but those were the ones that came to my mind.
Thank you for the wonderful people you are! You make my life so much better.
