So lets see….. where to begin? I am still sick. Can’t barely breath. I wish that I could haven’t been able to breath or walk or… well you get the idea. I am sure that you know that puts a hamper on everything I have been working on lately. SO does having birthday cake in the middle of the week. LOL….

My birthday was AMAZING. I had fun really I did. I have been teasing the Girley because she started telling me that her and Miss Ch“““ were working on a surprise for me. So I have been telling her. NOPE I am NOT having a birthday I never do. I do things for others and I skip all of mine. that is the way it is going to be. I have been telling her this since before Christmas. So while we are all celebrating her mommies birthday…. Nani said something to the effect ….. No one made ME a cake for MY birthday! So The Girl sais I will make you one over the weekend while I am at aunties…. we can do that right? Sure little one I can do that. So the call comes in the night before me birthday… Saturday. Than the question. Auntie will you go to Nani’s and get something for me…? SURE. Off I go. Get a few movies and take care of a few things for my little girley’s new swing for the house. Stop by Nani’s and tell her… I am not celebrating…. and the story behind it. “G”

So the Girley picks out a cake out of my book. I want her to feel young again. Like a little girl again. I chuckle under my breath and said you got it. We will start on it in the morning. I will have to go and buy all the rest of the stuff to go on it. Oreo’s and such. So the next morning while hubby was sleeping and the girl was awake I ran to the store and got all the must haves for it. And we decided to make sure that it was done before Nani got her to pick up my boy to take him on hims shopping day. “G”( funny thing about that… it was his shopping day last year on my birthday.)

So when she got her she marveled over “HER” cake while I was cleaning everything up. I Giggled under my breath knowing better of course. So I laughed when they all came back in…. presents in hand. With a surprise. Something I did NOT expect…. My sister and the whole gang….”G” I had a grand tiem and my little girl and I have matching purses….everywhere we have gone … she yells. Hold on let me get my purse so that we match momma. I giggle and tell hubby … better enjoy it while I can. Than go grab my purse as well. I ended up giving her the little money purse that was inside mine. Girl was DYING to have it. So I gave in. she LOVES IT! So do I. Thank you to all. I enjoyed making my cake with the girl she is getting good at this. I will get to retire soon I think. I Loved the surprise of all coming over. And I WILL LOVE (most of all) Spring break. My present from my sister…..

I tell you this is a week that I could forget. Or one that I wish I could. The kdis and I have all been sick…… and now sad to say the hubby is sick as well. Poor guy it is hard to deal with when you are a daddy that has to work everyday. there are no days off for the only provider int he home. He is lucky that he gets sunday and monday to rest though.

The kdis are starting to turn around. I am too really. I am sure you all know that when you have asthma and you have a cold…. it is that much harder. there have been nights were sleeping …. that was something that was not going to happen for me. I was on the bottom of the tub in hot water praying that God would grant me  the next breath.

I am breathing much better now and last night I accually got a whole 5 hours of sleep. I was so impressed.

Now onto worse news. My little one has been in a reading programe because he is so far behind in school. Get this they had a programe last night….. He had a BIG PART in the theater…… He WORKED SO HARD…… I…. I … got caught up in what was going on in my house and I FORGOT. what Mother FORGETS something that thier child has been working on for over a month. what kind of mommie am I. he cryed so hard when one of the parents called at 730 to tell me they missed me and the baby boy…. were was the call when I could have still made it. why did you let me be such a  failer. Man this SUCKS. and the boy… he is TORE UP… been crying a me all night. I can never appologize enough. not the first mom in the world to mess up….. ( Sis told me she has done it before, TO tell you the trueth I think I have before too…..)  BUT I am his mommie and I am NOT supposed to mess up….

So HERE, At home, And infront of God and everyone… I am So sorry that I missed taking you to your performance baby. I wish I could make it up to you. I will surely try latter….. We will NOT miss the next one. PROMISE!

DragonFly out!

I have the papers from the hospital… we went in 5 times that week … you were really trying to figure out just the perfect day to be born. I thought it was going to be on my sisters birthday…. but it wasn’t to be so. you didn’t break my water till 4 hours into the 18th. But than you came so fast. Did a summersault on the way out. the Dr. barely cathing you as you were so eager to get out. They gave me some pit at 12 pm just to get laybor moving along a little better….. you were born at 12:09 pm….. *G*… you are still very much like that…

When you say you want something you mean NOW! Like your bike… that daddy bought you for your birthday… You got it hung up on the chair in the kitchen. you screem … Brother NOW!” and he runs… to help… I don’t get it. Why are you so demanding… and why is it that he is so willing to run at your every demand.

you have this sweet side that I love so much. You will climb into your daddys arms and you look at him like the day you were born. With an innocence that shows you are still his baby girl. and you melt him…. with every little look, you melt him. I love it when you are colloring. you make things all the time. You love to scrap book with me and have begain to take pictures . You have an amazing eye for details. you are learning how to spell your name. and it is a BIG ONE too. Next year you will be in kindergarten. WOW! I am getting so old. you are all growing up so fast. and I feel like I am standing still while you are all running past me.

You have been and allways will be my favorite daughter. You have a smile that lights up every room and you have eyes that show the oceans blue. I am the luckiest woman in the world. You have chosen me to be your mommie. Baby girl I love you … Thank you.
