I woke up this morning happy that it's my birthday. I think since turning 30 this has been the happiest. 30 was weird just because I knew there would be no more 20's. Today, I'm still a young woman but not yet 40. My brother will beat me to it. That's always a good feeling!
Here is was my conversation with Claire last night as I put her to bed:
Me: Now remember, tomorrow is my birthday. :)
C: Oh yea, (insert huge loud moan, scowl and sour face)
Me: Why the outburst Claire?
C: Cuz, I have to make you a card and I keep forgetting and now I don't have time!
Me: Well, I don't need a card from you to know that you love me. It's ok, don't worry about doing a card.
C: Ok good, well I won't worry about wrapping your present either mommy cuz it's really a waste. No reason to waste the paper.
Me: Yes, Claire you are correct, what a waste that would be!
My kids crack me up!
