It's My Birthday Week!!!

Happy Birthday to ME!!!  I won't give away my real age.  Some of my kids think I'm 22 - so I'll go with that!  Some think I'm in my 60s.  :/   This week D has been on nights for the first time in many, many years.  But it has given us a break from each other (and made me realize how much I need this man in my life - to help with errands, cooking, cleaning, and just being here to bug the crap outta me!)  Not to mention me bugging him - I live for that.  :)  I now think God put him on nights this week so that he is not super mad that I've been gone almost every night on dinner dates with my friends.

Saturday I had a great day watching Lil' D powerlift - that child's strength amazes me!  He doesn't even practice or try and he's super strong!  I am so proud of him.  Then we were fortunate enough to go to the HLSR Cook-Off with the Flores's.  Val and I have been friends since diapers - we share lots of history - our Gmas were bfs, our moms are super close friends, and we were as well.  Her hubs Paul is my cousin.  We went several years without talking, but thank God reconnected a few years ago :) .  We have many secrets we will take to the grave and I'm loving making new memories with that crazy girl!  Anyway - we had a super fab time at the cookoff. 

Sunday I slept all day and loved every second of it!  My body requires lots and lots and lots of sleep.

Monday my awesome friend Shannon planned a bday dinner for me.  I love how she is so thoughtful although I get annoyed with her plans that revolve around me.  The reason is - I hold grudges and if someone doesn't come and I find out - I get mad.  LOL - it's the truth.  So I'd rather not do the whole Jennifer's dinner.  But she insists and everyone knows -what Shann wants, Shann gets!  Thanks Shann and all my other friends who showed up - I LOVE YOU!!

Tuesday - watched Lil D play soccer, then my BFF Shelly took Maura and I out to Chuy's and then we had dessert at Spoons.  I need to buy stock in Spoons.  Anyway - Six years ago God put Shelly in my life and I am so blessed He did.  I can talk to her about anything and everything (and I have).  We have so much in common and laugh everytime we're together.  I thank God for her.  She has a heart of GOLD and she is one of the hardest working, most caring people I know. And having my other BFF Maura there was icing on the cake!  If you don't know her - you are missing out.  She is one crazy white woman!  Dinner with the three of us nuts was OFF THE CHAIN!!

Wednesday - Cleaned house, napped, read some blogs, caught up on some shows.

Thursday - God willing will be dinner with JCW folks :) 

Friday - soccer again and then resting the rest of the weekend!! 

I am blessed...........got super cute jewelry, a shirt, B&B stuff, flowers, dinners, giftcards, cards, notes, broccoli, phone calls, fb wishes, hugs, and still have my gift from Chelle.  Thank God for another year - I promise to make it better every time!
