It’s my birthday, whoop-de-freaking-doo

I am SO not having my fantasy birthday today. I was awoken at 6:30 AM when my son knocked on the bedroom door just to tell us that school was cancelled. Then my husband started making phone calls to his carpool buddies and his boss, having turned on the overhead light first. Sheesh!

I then proceeded to make my own coffee and breakfast, and then got a phone call from a friend who works wondering if her son could come here for the day. What was I going to say, no? Oh, and I was supposed to go out for lunch with my Dad and StepMom only thanks to the below-freezing temperatures and icy spots, that got cancelled too. Bitch, whine, complain.

However, I did get a delivery in the mail yesterday-a Senseo coffee machine for a product review! And the DVD I bought myself with money I earned from doing other reviews came from Amazon-the “Lost” Season One Box set! Plus the birthday comments are rolling in over on Table for Five, and I’m hoping to make a Texas Sheet Cake this afternoon (yes, I’m making my own Birthday cake, but still, CAKE).

So it’s not a fantasy birthday, but I’ve made it to year 41 of life, I have a great family, a house and a car and food on the table, and CAKE. Life is pretty good :)

    Well, that’s definitely not the best way to start your birthday, but I hope it gets better! Stay warm and enjoy your Lost dvd’s! I love that show.

    Happy Birthday!
    The life of a mom is never one of leisure–even on our birthdays; but that just means you can justify having an extra piece of cake!

    Happy birthday!

    I try to ignore my birthdays now. The older you get the more I hate my birthdays because I don’t like to do the math to remember how old I am.

    41 is not too bad. Remember, next year 41 will sound a lot better than it does now!

    I accidentally found your blog in a search. Your post title sucked me in. Just remember, you still have half your life to live, roughly. So smile and enjoy the day.
