It's been an awesome birthday, already! The party started at 3 a.m. with Brody screaming at the top of his lungs...untill...4:30ish a.m. After some Motrin, Orajel and Ear-Gestic Otic Solution he finally fell back asleep for a little while. Shortly after he did, Baylee whispered in my sleeping ear "Mom, I don't feel so good."
At that point I called the substitute hotline, hooked my other 22 children up with a warm body, and headed to the school to make sure all was ready for them.
It's 5:26 p.m. now and both of my blessings are running fever! If you have ever had a 16 mo. old with a fever then you know that, at times, a route canal can be more pleasant.
The birthday wishes started early this morning with a snappy sweet text from my long distance sister (whom I miss terribly and want to come to cowtown a super big bunch!) and my mother-in-law! My super sweet niece even text me today...umm...I hope I didn't just bust you,Morgan! Anyway, she is already way better than me at remembering b-days!
Do you wonder what I have eaten today??
It just so happens that my mother-in-law made me a batch of Sandies! Thanks Gramma!
And do you know what I found when I walked with Brody to the mailbox?
This sweet card with a special kind of paper in it! Thanks Mom and Dad! I miss you...
And even though we were supposed to go out to eat at Fudruckers (try to spell that with no sleep) we'll probably have spaghetti, unless Matt brings something yummy home!
See, in all my years of wisdom, I know that these are precious moments I have been allowed to have today with my little chicks. So don't think for a minute that I wish I were laying on a beach in Florida, with a fruity drink in my hand, soaking up the sun. Cause I don't. What kind of mother would I be if I did? AND, how much wisdom would you think I have if that's where I wish I were right now!
***I just received gooooood news...PawPaw is on his way with Parton's Pizza for dinner!***

Happy Birthday, Sweet Friend! I'm a LOSER!
If I would have known it was your birthday (like a friend should) I could have brought you some "BIRFDAY CIMMON ROLLS!" That would have been yummy! Happy Birthday Jenny! Give the kiddos some love from me.
I know this sounds a little Mnchausen by Proxy-ish of me, but I love it when my kids are "under the weather" just enough to need to stay home from school. It forces me to slow down and really appreciate what matters most!
Happy Birthday Jen! I love and miss you every day and I can't wait to hang out with you on the pure white sands of Destin this summer!
Shel, you are my favorite loser!
leiGh, i could have really used those cimmon rolls 2day (or at least hearing you say that)!
Deb, I can't wait 4 the beach...sandy sand, sunny sun, cocky coctails, and us in bikini bathing suits! ok, scratch that last part :)
Happy Birthday, Jenny!!
Happy Birthday Jenny! I really thought that you were out celebrating early, but I guess I was wrong. I hope you had a good one anyways. ~Jenn
