-  Children aside, do you celebrate your birthday/anniversary or is it just a normal day for you? Sometimes for my birthday, but always our anniversary…This year it will be 44 years, OMG…He married me when I was 12 😉 …
- Do/did you always give your child a birthday party when they were young? I’m not sure but I know I did do something special. Our Oldest was born on Friday after Thanksgiving. Our only daughter was born 2 days before my birthday. Our 3rd son was born on Father’s Day and the youngest, well he’s the youngest so it’s always a special day b/c he was our last…
- If your child was born on Christmas Day (or a few days either side of the 25th), did they have a ‘half birthday’ in June, two presents/celebrations, or something else? None of them were born on Christmas…The oldest was born on Friday after Thanksgiving. I remember going to the hospital after I had dinner on Thanksgiving. They told us not to eat after we went into labor. I wasn’t sure if that was what was happening so I didn’t eat any dinner. I was so hungry after not eating all day, thinking that I was in labor. When I got home, I had 2 turkey sandwiches b/c I was starving. I realized I was in labor when my water broke. Then I understood why they said don’t eat (after the fact) when you go into labor. In my defense, it was my first… OMG He was our biggest, weighing in at 9 lbs. 12 oz. and that was before the days of epidural’s…You remember, Natural Childbirth. Right up there with no pain management when you pull teeth. It was not fun.
- Would you prefer to give your child a party, or take them and a few friends on a special outing? Definitely a few special friends on a special outing !!!!
Gratitude…I am just grateful for another day at this thing called life. I am healthy, my people are healthy and I live in the greatest country. Not a perfect country, b/c there is not perfection on this earth. But close enough… Blessings on your Tuesday…
