I turned 33 on July 11th. I got my "birthday storm" so I was very happy. See every year since I was a child it stormed on my birthday. On the very few years it did not storm...those were very bad years for me. So I look forward to stormy weather on my birthday. Last year I didn't get my storm and BOY O BOY was last year rough. So the sounds of thunder waking me up this year was awesome. My husband and kids got me some really cute cards and a cake. My in laws took me out for Mexican dinner. I had to wear the hat and get a loud round of HAPPY BIRTHDAY sang to me. My brother in law had to sit in the car cuz my hat bothered him. He is autistic and things just set him off sometimes. Well the hat did it. It was all good tho, we had a great time. Then the TOPPER I got to throw out the first pitch for out Class A baseball team. THE TINCAPS! To anyone else this may not seem like much. To me it was AWESOME! We love baseball and the TINCAPS are loved by each member of this family like they are the big time. We got every chance we get and cheer them on and live it up. So throwing the first pitch and getting autographed baseballs was the PERFECT gift for me. I felt so special. They even brought a cake down to us.
So that was my day and what a day it was! I had a wonderful birthday and my family is just so good to me. I got some great gifts and cards and just feel so loved and happy. I am the first to say I love a big deal made of my birthday. I am not one who says don't make a fuss. I WANT A FUSS. It's my ONE DAY that is MINE and I love it. SO I got the fuss and I soaked it up.
I have not been sewing much lately. I have been just relaxing and enjoying the last of our summer. My Hubby is going back out of town to work tomorrow. I am glad for it means somewhat normal life is on it's way. I am SAD cuz I hate that he will be gone for the weeks and home on only weekends. The kids are down to a month before they go to KINDY. They are ready and I think I am too. It's bittersweet really. How far they have come from being those fragile babies in the NICU to these big kids. MAN seems like yesterday it really does.
William is still having tummy issues and not gaining weight. I am not sure what we do next. He is still have issues with his right eye as well. So time will tell what if any of this will mean to him in school. I will take it as it comes like we always do.
Angelina is like always.....on target and SASSY! She is so dang smart. Too smart and much of the time getting in trouble for sassing and tattle telling. She has mastered riding her bike and wants to take on skating next. She has sewn her first project and I gave her my own sewing machine. She was thrilled.
Me? I am making bath and body stuff for family and the craft shows coming up. I am thinking of Christmas shows and getting innovatory supplies together and list of what my booth will have. I am thinking of doing two or 3 shows this year and maybe next year doing the flea market in the summer and these shows in the winter. Depends on what the contracts I have pending right now do. I have two for sewing that may tie up my WAHM time. I am letting it all play out and see what happens.
Life is good right now!
