And 45 bites the dust....

And 45 bites the dust....


I spent the majority of 45 rediscovering myslelf.

My wants... Needs... Likes and dislikes. I made it a point do things my own and pushed myself do things I felt hesitation over.

The Gym!

I discovered I had more strength than I thought I did. More courage...

I lost a good friend... But I gained so many more new ones. I'm living through a pandemic first hand and witnissing people at their worst... And their best.

My ....

My are the best thing God ever could have given . I know I survived my childhood because I was meant bring them life.

They were meant be here.

My Middle stepped through the door with a little purple planted orchid in his hand and said "happy birthday Mom". I couldn't help but smile, it's the cutest little thing.

", that's so cute. It's perfect."

"[The Spawn] has the good gifts. She's coming."

With bags in hand, she came charging through the door.

"Hello"

Thrusting her bags in my face, she just kind of stood there, waiting for me to look inside.

How can you tell when people really know you?

They know ALL your favorites.

In bag #1 was a ct package of hair ties, 3 Cadbury fruit and nut candybars, a coffee mug that said I was purrfect, and a smelly thing for my car. In bag #2 was a giant cheesecake assortment.

"OMG! my favorite stuff! It's almost like you guys know or something??"

"Happy birthday mom!'

I gave them each a hug and told them how much I loved them. The of us sat the couch for a good, long while... Each kind of doing our own thing on our phones and watching Netflix. Little conversations about their dad retiring and work things.....

Just being together and being family.

Happy Birthday to !

May 46 be the best year yet!

    Happy Birthday!

    It's always nice to give or receive gifts that are personally meaningful.
I'd rather receive a gift like a smelly for my car in my favorite scent, than some random, expensive gift that contained no thought.

    That's great! I got a text message from my oldest grand daughter on my birthday.
    Happy Birthday!!!!
I tend to be a little anti-social, so I love texts. I didn't work on my birthday, so my boss sent me a Happy Birthday text wishing me a good day.... It was nice.

    thanks for sharing this post birthday girl

    isn't it worth it, when the people that mean so much to you come thru

    little things that make it perfect

    my daughter always gets me flowers for my birthday and father's day

    we go to movies, concerts, all kinds of stuff

    I don't change diapers, she has two beautiful children

    the are both under 3

    each, so different, yet, so special

    they like to be hugged and read to

    they luv trying to catch bubbles

    this will be a great 12 months for you

    if you let it be

    There might have been things I missed
    But don't be unkind
    It don't mean I'm blind
    Perhaps there's a thing or two
    I think of lying in bed
    I shouldn't have said
    But there it is
    You see, it's all clear
    You were meant to be here
    From the beginning
I love, love, love that song! I just heard it yesterday morning.... I was nearly late for work because I sat in my car so I could hear the entire song before going in.

As for diapers... I won't change baby diapers either unless they are for my own kids. Thankfully, those diaper days are behind me.
