And a Happy Birthday it was

Thank you to all those who called/emailed/facebooked me some birthday wishes. I felt very cared for on my day. :)

It was, in fact, a happy birthday. The girls and I went to the YMCA in the morning for Princess's gymnastics class. On the way there I got my first birthday present. I had absentmindedly left my cell phone on the top of my car and realized it on our way down the feeder road when I heard a "clunck-clunck" outside of the car. Dread swept over me, mostly because I knew what Drummer Boy would think about my stupidity. But amazingly enough, when I pulled into the YMCA parking lot and got out of the car, there was my phone sitting on the top of my car. I was amazed!! I told Princess, God really loves me and He didn't want me to loose my phone on my birthday!!.

So that was my first gift. At the YMCA, I tried putting Pumpkin in the childcare by herself for the first time (she usually has her sister in there to play with her) so that I could exercise while Princess was in her class, and Pumpkin did just fine. So, I exercised, Pumpkin played, and Princess tumbled, and we all left the YMCA happy campers.

Then we went out to lunch with my mom. It was a nice lunch, just me and mom and the girls. As we pulled into the restaurant parking lot, I got a call from the Neonatology group that I interviewed with a couple of weeks ago, informing me that they would like to extend me an offer for a part-time job. Happy Birthday to me again! I am very excited about that!

Then last night, we had our family over for fajitas, margaritas, and mocha mud pie. All in all, it was a fantastic birthday. A special day spent with the special people in my life. Thanks so much!
