10 things I did on my birthday:

1. Woke up early. Tess woke me up around 9 am and would not stop talking! I got up with her and we read email for a while. I had lots of sweet birthday wishes. Then I nursed her, she fell asleep, I counted my blessings in the quietness, kissed on her sweet cheeks then put her back to bed.

2. Anticipated a long, hot, quiet shower. But a few minutes after I got in I heard Milo at the door.

“a gum ahem glblahblah,” he said.
“What?” I yelled.
“Where are we going?” he repeated. (He asked this because I was up before him and showering.)
“Nowhere.”
“aggllal hummm,” he said.
“What?” I yelled.
“I want to get in when you’re done,” he repeated.
“Ok.”
“Mom! Hahmmal alldglem gahblahablah,” he said.
“What?” I yelled and leaned out of the shower.
“I feel better today,” he repeated.
“I’m so glad,” I said.
“Blah glum glele blah,” he said.
“What? Milo! Please stop talking until I’m done.”
“I said, when are you going to be done?”
“I’ll be done when I’m done!” I yelled.

3. Went outside with the kids to enjoy our last day of warm weather. The rest of the week is supposed to bring cold and rain. Today was very breezy. Tess did not like it. A lot of the petals had blown off the tulip tree and it was beautiful.

4. Held and rocked Tess a lot more than I wanted to and caught up on some 24. Though I should have been cleaning or folding laundry.

5. Opened some gifts and cards from my kids and got one in the mail with a check!

6. Did school. Teacher’s don’t get their birthdays off. Even though the students wish she did.

7. Made pizza for supper.

8. Put on make up and squeezed into a pair black slacks that shrunk in my closet while I at that pizza.

9. Went to revival.

10. Came home exhausted. See #1 and finally finished this post.
