It's my party and I'll cry if I want to......
So this week, actually on Tuesday, I turned another year older. (Don't even think I'm gonna tell you how old I am...) I was up late on Monday night (editting as usual when the kiddos are snoozing) and I have decided....IT'S OFFICIAL.....It's been marked on the calendar and added to the record books.... I am not having any more birthdays. I must admit that growing older is for the birds. Don't get me wrong now, I wouldn't change a thing in my life. If I was given a do-over, I'd gladly pass. However, I feel that age is catching up with me and I see a few things wrong with my "bod" that I didn't have a problem with 3 years ago. It must have something to do with growing, giving birth to and breastfeeding 3 children in 6 years. Hummm...yes, that's definitely it!!! My hubby seems to think that older women are "hot" and he can't wait till I turn 40. Oh, Heavens to Betsy, I dread the day. Being a mom has been the hardest, most challenging and yet most rewarding thing I have EVER done. I was blessed to spend time in my day with my family, whether it be in person or on the phone. I love them deeply.
Yes, we had a litttle party. (someone needs to give the person who wrote my NAME on my cake a lesson in handwriting...btw) My cake read, "Happy Birthday 21 Any". Hey stop laughing...you know I am really 21, right? Seriously now....AMY is not a hard word to spell !!! How bad is it that on MY day MY cake made no sense!!! My girls ended up taking a toothpick and making an extra hump on the n.
After we had cake, we all went into the LR for an XBOX "Rockband" Showdown!!! Our girls totally skunked their grandparents. They were rockin' the house!!! Grace wore the headset microphone and played the guitar at the same time. We got a kick watching her bend at the knee and bounce a little while she jammed on the guitar....and the high notes were outstanding!! Holli rocked the drums with ease. She was working those drumsticks, both at the same time and thumping that basedrum footpetal like it was nothing. Watching them "Get their Groove On" totally made my day. Over to the side Charley and Lanie, my neice, were dancing jumping. It was a wonderful ending to our hectic day......
It was a fun day for my "Birthday girl"...Amy is a wonderful mother and wife and enjoys everyday the miracles that God blesses her with!
