Today was a very, very, very
special day---Mommy’s birthday! The world’s best Mommy, best wife, best
friend…and the absolute best do-everything-for-everybody-person ever!!! Happy
birthday, Amanda Lea, happy birthday Mommy!
Mommy’s birthday started off with
an early departure of Daddy, as Tuesdays are all-day-at-school days for Daddy
and then domestic violence intervention class at night. So the three of you,
Mommy and Bodhi and Buddha (and Arlo and Allie and Ella and Dora) spent the day
celebrating Mommy’s birthday with sleeping in (a little, not much of that is
possible around here with the two of you, Princess Bodhi and Prince BuddhaJ), the spending time
watching some movies (Mommy’s picks-Happy Feet 2 & Cars), building Mommy
flower Legos, Ms. Bodhi, and sharing your beloved Lego fire truck, Buddha, having lunch and settling in for a nap (so
Mommy could take a shower). Then, in the later afternoon the three of you
played with your toys, went out to get some Happy Meal dinners, watched some
more movies and enjoyed a visit from Grandpa Kurt, and still found time to take
Ms. Allie for a walk. GiGi and Grandmoo also called to wish Mommy a happy
birthday, and sister Kelly and Brother Sean Franky both told Daddy to give
Mommy a birthday hug!
Mommy’s happy birthday was also
highlighted by you making Mommy a Lego flower, Bodhi---you are such a
thoughtful angel! And Buddha, Daddy is confident Mommy managed to squeeze some
extra kisses from you throughout the birthday dayJ.
Mommy also suffered on her birthday, because she is smothered in poison
ivy---Daddy tried to help by going to the pharmacy between jobs and picking up
some cortisone cream and Benadryl, but it will take days for the poison ivy
itself to run its course—poor Mommy, already sick and now this!
Daddy would happily smother Mommy
in hugs and kisses and a massage, but with poison ivy, sinus infection, sore—if
not strep—throat, Mommy is not in a snuggling state of body or mind—so by the
time Daddy got home, we enjoyed a glass of wine together and shared opening
Mommy’s gifts with the two of you. Mommy got some Puma running shoes (like Aunt
Ti’s J),
the new Dave Matthews Band cd and a tool bag and tools for Mommy’s craft room.
After present opening, Mommy was busy getting the two of you dressed and put
down for bed—Mommy’s work is never done—and Daddy wishes he could smother her
with hugs and kisses and more gifts than there are stars in the sky! You two
refused to go to bed, so Mommy allowed you two, as she always does, additional
playtime in your room, Bodhi, playing little people with your doll house. The rules is you two can play until you two
start arguing. This actually keeps you
two from arguing, but as you both tire down, you inevitably get fussy with one
another. Mommy just waits it out J
Truly, we all love Mommy “to the
moon” and back, and to Mars and back and around the universe and on and on and
on and on…happy birthday beautiful, wonderful, special Mommy and Daddy’s love
of his life, best friend, and life partner and soul mate!!! You are a truly
magical, magnificent Mommy and a gorgeous, incredibly unique,
once-in-a-lifetime best friend and wife. We celebrate this day, because we
celebrate and cherish you!!!
