You want some more encouragement?

Amazing! That is all I can say. Today is my birthday.

The ghost of birthdays past tells me that would be one of those "We hate mom days."  I have to admit that I think Teddy forgot it was my birthday and didn't figure it out until it was too late for it to bother him.  I woke up this morning and Taz fixed me a breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, bacon and hashbrowns. He also made my coffee and then packed my lunch. I love that kid. I had an extra hour so I took him out for a smoothy before work and we had wonderful conversation.  My other kids were loving and kind as well. But Taz has had a hard time with birthdays. Life is good. It can happen to you and I believe it will.

OK. I need to add a PS. The boys just walked in and Teddy immediately started in on me. Pick Pick Picking!! He left the room and Taz came over and said "Can I have a hug?" I asked if he was ok and he said "Actually I was wondering if you were ok and needed a hug". This healing stuff just keeps getting better and better.
