35

That is how old I am today.
As Garth Brooks put it "I'm much too young to be feeling this damn old". I will save all my fussing about how I feel for my personal journal though.
I had a couple of friends call and wish me happy birthday. Bev also came down with a card, Avon bubblebath and body wash. The best gift though was she hung around and fed Bre supper, bathed her and painted her fingernails.
Joey had to go back to work Sunday so we celebrated my birthday Saturday. It was simple and perfect.
He had taken the kids out for dinner at Applebees (I didn't feel like going). When they returned home they brought me back a yummy dinner from there along with a birthday cake that read "Happy Birthday Mommy". Joey also got me a gift certificate to Hasting's (books, CD, DVDs). The best part though was each kid had picked out a card and their choices reflected their personalities so much. Bre's was a little too grown up to be coming from a four year old but on the front was butterflies, flowers, and glitter. It just screamed Bre Bre. Marcus's card involved a joke about testicles. I could just picture him laughing as he read it for the first time in the card shop. Joey's was very sweet and sensitive (love you Joey). Dylan's was, well...it is the first time a card ever made me cry. His talked about how close we were and how I am his friend. When I read it I could feel the tears start rolling. All the cards will be kept and treasured forever.
I truly am blessed.
