My Birthday

Today I am 34 years old. I am having a nice birthday. My parents called me at 7am to sing to me. And despite my girls fighting and screaming at each other before school this morning, I had a good morning. I got Tessa on the bus then took Kaley to preschool. Although we were late due to a car accident and had to turn around to take another route ( I really need to learn the back roads around that area!) After I dropped her off, I met a friend for coffee and had a great visit with her. Then I took myself shopping. I rarely do this ON my birthday. I try to wait for a few days at least, but today I just wanted to treat myself on my special day, because that's what it is, my day. Usually I feel like its just "another day" and I get a little bit more attention than normal, but today I felt like doing something nice just for me. I don't do it often. I take care of my husband and girls and the house and whatever needs to be done. So I decided to make this day feel more special because it is. We will go out to dinner for my favorite meal, spaghetti and meatballs at my favorite restaurant, First and Last Cafe. Rob ordered a Chocolate Truffle cake for me that I can't wait to cut into!

I am thankful to God for my life, for my beautiful family and for my wonderful friends that make me feel special everyday.
