Happy Birthday to Me

Yes, today is my birthday.

My co-workers decorated my office at work. Signs all over the place.

They will be fixing lunch and a wonderful cake to celebrate.

Today we will also be cleaning out our co-workers office who passed away Friday night. Another co-worker will be taking the items to the husband tonight.

Saturday are the services.

I know we need to get on with life, celebrate things that come up. Having little parties and get togethers help people grieve and move on. I know that my co-worker would not be angry or upset that we are doing these things.

I'm angry. I am mad as hell. She shouldn't be gone. It doesn't make sense and I don't really want to do anything except cry.

So, yah, Happy Birthday to Me.

Happy First Birthday Girls!

One year ago today, a miraculous occasion occurred in my life.

An occasion that was accompanied by great joy, but some misgivings, even fear.

Am I too old for this? Was this really the right decision at this time in my life? Will there be much pain? Would my body recover quickly?

How will the next 20 years go? Shoot, I will be 66 years old then! Is that too old?

One year ago today two miraculous, wonderful beings appeared in my life!

My new BOOBS!!

Happy Birthday Girls!!

Happy Birthday Camie!

Twenty seven years ago at 8:06 am a miracle entered my life.

My daughter was born.

For any of the male readers who stop by here, I won't go into the whole child birth experience. I won't talk about vagina, or water breaking or anything like that. I will say that my first child birth experience was great. I had 1 1/2 hours of labor, my doctor had to ask me to stop pushing so he could get in contacts in and because I was having back labor a nurse was assigned to hold my right leg up in the air so I could give birth on my right side.

Back to the miracle of my daughter.

Now at 27 years old my daughter is a mother.

She is going through the same trials and tribulations as a mother that I did with her. She has a son who has a mind of his own. At two years old, he has changed his sleeping habits he wants to be awake at ungodly hours of the morning. (4:45 am) He has temper tantrums. He repeats what he hears (even swear words). He loves to be outside. He gives kisses, he gives hugs, he tries to help out when he can.

But that will change. Children grow and develop into their own people and their own personalities. We shape them with the experiences of their childhood and the values we instill in them. And yet, they still surprise us and become amazing human beings.

To Camie, I am so proud of you and who you have become. I love you and wish you a Happy Birthday!!

Another Celebration!

That's right, I have another celebration to share with all of you! Woo Hoo!! Aren't you thrilled???
