Birthday recap

By -
Today is my birthday. I was awakened by the alarm at 6:05; then again at 6:11. My sweet husband got up and turned it off. He proceeded to get Luke ready for school and then they brought me breakfast in bed!! Luke was so excited he could hardly stand it! I was instructed to stay in the bed and rest until he returned home from taking Luke to school.

The girls & Paul slept until 9:00. It has been a LONG time since I have still been bed at 9:00 a.m. Then I was instructed to get ready. We dropped the children off at the babysitter and went to lunch. It has been a LONG time since we ate a meal in peace. And talked about adult things. And didn't have to escort a little Fuller to the restroom. Twice. It was a very nice treat.

We then went to get Luke from school and parted ways. Daddy & the children had an errand to take care of. I was able to go shopping alone. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, just wanted to be able to walk around a store and not be rushed. Usually, I go in. Find what I need. Pay. Exit the store. Wait to be picked up by the circling Suburban. So, it was nice to walk through a store and look.

Daddy prepared dinner for our family. Oh, he's so nice! I literally have not lifted a finger to do anything that could be considered work today. He is now upstairs bathing the children. I am sitting in my blue chair with my feet propped up.

I have received several calls from dear friends from days gone by. It was very nice to hear from them. It has been a very good day.

On Valentine's Day 2007 Patrick and I decided that we would not get each other a gift. This was the first time we had made such a deal. I did pick up a card for him and filled it out. Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m...

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never ...
