Happy Birthday to me!

Well, today is my birthday. It has been a good day. I have lots of trouble with birthdays, they always seem such a let down, never quite what you hoped for. My problem is that I am not even sure what I expect. Birthdays have always been reminders of what you have not done. Another entire year has gone by and everything is still the same , or god forbid, even worse. I am trying really hard to stay upbeat.

I have wonderful family and friends that have made today very special. I enjoyed a breakfast of Frosted Flakes and orange juice in my bed, brought to me by my kids. Alex planned an impromptu birthday lunch at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. He paid for the four of us with his own money. My parents, Ashley and our neighbor friend joined us. I got to wear a sombrero while they sang Happy Birthday to me in Spanish.
Grandma Joy made me a chocolate cake.

This evening my sister kept all three kids while John and I went out to Olive Garden for dinner.
I will have some pics and things for you later.
