May. 21, 2009 - Happy Birthday to my mom...
Yes, today is my mom's birthday, and it was a good day. Obviously with the move and trying to get ready for all of that there isn't a whole lot of "extra funds" floating around. Not that she expects anything, but my kids were so sweet, in the last 2 days they have spent all of "their own earned money" on other people and for very good reasons!!! Yesterday the boys bought flowers for my stepmom, they said Grandma would need cheered up, since the funeral and all that, and they also bought a flower for their Aunt Mel, since she was in the hospital last week, then this morning they spent the 3 of them spent the rest of their money to buy flowers for mom for her birthday. Such proud mommy moments....they are thinking of others. It is so cool to see their excitement to be doing for others. So anyway our day today, we ran a couple of errands, then over to wish my mom a happy birthday with cupcakes, and the flowers from the kids. We had lunch there and sat outside to visit while the kids played in the sprinklers. It was a great day!
In other news, my dad had his 5th surgery on his thumb today!!!! I am so hoping that this is finally the last one!! He always says it's no big deal, but surgery is surgery!!! And when they keep doing the same one over and over something just doesn't seem right, but I am still praying that this time the surgery did it's job!!
I did manage to get a few things done around the house today too, so all in all it was a good day hope everyone else had the same!!

Sounds like a great day! I am sure your mother had an awesome birthday. Nothing like the special gift of children spending their own money on you. How sweet!
I will be praying for your father.
Blessings,
