Things have been so busy that I didn't even get a chance to post about my birthday on December 30th! Tony surprised me by emailing quite a few of my friends and coworkers to let them know about it and I enjoyed a wonderful day of reading birthday wishes and funny poems via email.

I just had to share one of my favorite's with you all. It's from Amy at SimpleFolk.

From one farm Momma (of all boys) to another...

You can’t buy a gift for a farm Momma with boys.
She already has all the cool toys!

Like fishing poles, BB guns, 4-wheelers and more—
There are Carhartts and muddy (we hope) boots, right on the floor!
(Not to mention camouflage everything, galore.)

With bait in the fridge and antlers already on the wall,
this leaves us with not many choices at all!
(FYI, this poem was interrupted by a turkey call.)

So what can we give her to say she means the world?
After all, we suppose, Momma IS a girl!

A tiara? A pedicure? Flowers in bloom?
How about what she really wants…her own CLEAN BATHROOM!
 

(Well, that's what *I* wish for, lol.)
Happy Birthday, Nancy!

I thought that was just sooooo good that I had to share it with you all!

I definitely laugh sometimes at being surrounded by camoflauge, muddy gear, and discussions about guns, hunting, video games, and automotives. Yet I wouldn't have it any other way. Tony and the boys take such very good care of me and make being the only girl here lots of fun. They actually let me sleep in on my birthday and cleaned up the house (including the bathroom) before I woke up!

They also surprised me with something for the Wii. My very own Wii Fit!
