Happy Birthday to Me

Well the day has finally arrived. I turn 47 years old today. My phone will probably end up on a charger at work with all the birthday posts from friends on Facebook. It feels good to know people care enough to take a few minutes and think good things for me.

Mom and I did lunch yesterday. Well more like brunch because it was breakfast for both of us and it was lunch type food. She got me a weed whacker for my birthday. I am very excited because I have wanted one for a while but not been able to get one. It runs on a rechargeable battery. Chris put it together and I had the battery on the charger shortly after I got home. I used it twice last night to get things trimmed in the front and backyard.

I felt good going to bed because the kids and I spent most of our evening outside. We played and just generally hung out. Our awesome neighbors came over with treats for the kids. I think the big ones are made from molasses. I figured they can have them today after I get home. I need to run to get tabs for both the bike and car after work as well as stop at the bank to cash a check. I hope to be home before Chris leaves for work. Then I will open my present from him.

Yesterday was a productive day despite it’s inauspicious beginnings. Laundry got washed and put away, dishes switched out in the dishwasher, sheets and blankets got washed, yard work done…. I know there was more but you get the idea. I showered before bed to get the grass and pollen off. That was a good idea because I felt pretty good and got some decent sleep.

I’m not sure what the day holds but it is getting time to face the world. I hope everyone has a great day!
