Happy birthday to me!

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear me, happy birthday to me! Today is my birthday! I love my birthday! It is one of my favorite days of the year AND one of my favorite times of the year as well. I do not mind getting a little older (that will probably change in the near future!) Anyway, it has been a wonderul day and only promises to get better! I love to look back and see how much we have accomplished and been through and survived over the past year.... I try not to focus on what I HAVE NOT done but on what I HAVE DONE!!! I have survived a full year ( and a little more) as a stay at home mom of four, survived hospital stays, sicknesses, celebrated 10 years of marriage to the love of my life, managed to get eveyone to school, appointments, practices, rehearsals, meetings, and numerous playdates ALMOST on time, survived a summer with 4 kids at home with each steadfast vying for my attention, we've made creative projects and games on a whim, the house is still standing and is reasonably clean most of the time, most of all I have enjoyed this past year of life to the fullest and look forward to enjoying the next....
