Finally!

I was born at a very young age, and have waited my whole life to turn my favourite number... and today, I finally did - I am 28! My brother-in-law asked how long I've been telling people I'm 21, but so far I relish turning older, and especially this year (though my mud pie was a bit blinding with all those 28 candles!)


I had a great day being spoiled with delicious food and special gifts, but mostly spent it like this:

My little guy came down with something, and I basically held him most of the day, while reading (um, devouring) my new birthday book. The kids were thrilled that Mommy let them play the Star Wars video game and Barbie.com (you can guess who did what) as a special birthday activity (yeah kids, whatever, just let me read my new book!) The the two boys had a birthday party to attend this evening, so Mr. Man took Miss J, Baby J and I out to Olive Garden (my favourite). It was a nice treat, and so easy with just those two - perhaps we should have spaced our kids out more :) Anyways, I remembered that last year on my birthday I was at Olive Garden too -with two good friends who have since abandoned me (i.e. their husbands have graduated and gotten jobs and moved far far away), and I was a week overdue! This year is a bit strange in that my last baby has been birthed and is now a walking/talking little boy. I admit, I cried.


So happy birthday to me... as my four year old tells me, I look like a monkey, and I smell like one too!
