Mom's Birthday

Of course, I as the mother don't get to celebrate like my kids. But this year is a "milestone" in that I turn 35 today. It is hard to believe that when my daughter turns 35 I will be 70! That makes me feel old...

Anyway, we had a nice day....went to church--visited Athens Church, then out to lunch and met a couple from there. Grandmama & Grandad were here when we got home to get the boys for the night. Richard & I then took a nap...

I had to go & clean out my desk at the office...my broker is consolidating offices, so I volunteered to give up my desk, since I am never there! The only problem with that is that I had to go & box up what was there! Now I have to find a place to put it at home...What a way to spend my birthday! (better than getting fired, I guess--oh yeah, been there done that!)

I had a special message from my mom via text page this AM. My parents are in France for 3 weeks...A favorite place my grandmother visited in France was Giverny...home of Monet. Her favorite set of his paintings were the lily pad/pond/bridge ones which were painted at Giverny...Mom took a little picture of my grandparents and had a moment "with" them there. How special that that day of their trip was today! I really miss my Gran! She always made birthdays so special! I got the text page & burst into tears...Richard was like are you ok? I said yes...just having a moment! (darn hormones!!) :)

Tonite we went to Longhorn's for a birthday/anniversary dinner. Our 13th anniversary is Tuesday! Who'd thought that at 13 years of marriage we'd be having another baby!?!?! Certainly not me! But God had another plan!

Counting down....3 weeks and 4 days!

I have another ultrasound tomorrow to check bio-physical...I will post how big she is! 2 weeks ago 5 lbs & 1 oz...about...

All for now...
Good nite!
Mandy

Oh man I feel so AWEFUL that I forgot about your B-day. I have them all in my cell calendar but while at work I didn't get the alert. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SIS. Having you baby at 35 should really tell you how youngh spirited you still are. I don't think you'll ever be OLD, even at 80's. Luv ya... see you around!
