My 32nd

Well, yesterday was my 32nd birthday. It was more like a birthday weekend instead of just a birthday day. Jim went to Orlando for work on Thursday so some of my greatest friends took me out on Friday night. A night out without kids, good steak, shopping (because me being the klutz I am splashed steak sauce on the white shirt I was wearing) and a hilarious movie (What Happens in Vegas). It was a fabulous night. Saturday was my niece Ele's birthday but she wasn't feeling well so the kids and I just stopped by their house for a few minutes to drop off the gift. My parents took us out to dinner for my favorite, pasta after that. It was nice to spend time with my mom and dad with just me and the kids. It doesn't happen very often so I treasure it when it does. All day Saturday the kids kept reminding me that my birthday was the next day. Sunday morning Ally woke up on the wrong side of the bed. She was a grumpy guts. Andrew and I could do not do anything right. We had to pick Jim up at the airport at 10:30 so I made them get in the bathtub earlier than they wanted. While they were fighting in the tub I reminded them it was my birthday so they should be good for me. They then proceeded to sing "Happy Birthday" to me. It made my day. We went and picked up Jim, who being the sweet, wonderful husband he is, got up at 3 a.m. to get on an early flight so he could be with me on my birthday. That was the best present!! He was also standing there with flowers when we picked him up and he gave me sessions with a personal trainer (my idea). I am spoiled! It was a wonderful birthday! I am so grateful for the wonderful friends and family I have that remembered me on my day and took the time to be with me or call and let me know they were thinking of me because they couldn't be with me (my sweet sisters Tricia and Melanie). It's so nice to feel loved!
