Happy Birthday to me!

Lordy, Lordy am I really 40?       


I got a great surprise today, one i would have not expected. Here I am at home, It's my birthday, but no big deal. I 'm babysitting, I didn't ask for the day off from that because Joey had to work that evening anyway. So I'm watching kids and cleaning and all of the sudden here is Aretha...I'm standing there with my mouth open...and she is holding this big margarita glass( notice the picture) waving it in the air and singing Happy Birthday! Her girls had made it just for me (so sweet) I am at one end of my house, and I'm watching her walk toward me, singing and waving this glass and I couldn't even speak. She gives me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek, and I just want to cry...I was still speechless for a minute or so..It was the best. Of course my husband and my daughter were in on it the whole time, and I love them for that. I love my best bud too, what would I do without all these people in my life. It was a great day!!!!! Oh yea, I got a cake ( one I didn't have to bake myself) from Aretha, good gifts from my family, and of course long stemmed red roses from my sweetie. Yikes I think I'm going to cry again, I am such a lucky girl!
