I'll be honest, I'm not sure I was really looking forward to my birthday today. For the first time since I became.a mother I didn't get to see any of my kids on my birthday. Last year we were all together because my father-in-law had passed away, and the year before Catherine's class schedule allowed her to come for dinner and spend the night. This year, it was adorable that Thomas texted me right at Midnight, and when Catherine texted me this afternoon she wished me a happy "27th" birthday...so sweet! Everyone at work was kind, and I was even serenaded by the middle school students on their ukes and kazoos!
This evening I had asked Andrew to take me to our favorite winery where we could not only have a glass of wine, but we could restock my wine fridge. We wouldn't be gone long. Since the kids are coming home tomorrow evening, I decided we would do my birthday dinner with them. Tonight I wasn't really worried about what would be for dinner, and as we were driving home we decided to stop at Dairy Queen. A blizzard for dinner with french fries? Yes please!
Now that we are home, I'm in my jammies and looking forward to a quiet evening. And tomorrow is Friday, which is always a good day! I'm so very grateful for today!
