What a great day…

…and it’s only 10:00am!  My day started with my sometimes sweet little boy singing Happy Birthday to me.  It was great!  When I told him that was a great birthday gift, he looked at me like I was goofy and said “it was just a song”.  But it was still great!

Then, I get to work and there was a huge box of Hot Tamales and a sugar cookie on my desk.  That was from Mary.  Andy brought be a birthday card that in a twisted scary way was oddly appropriate.  Thank you Andy!  Then Rosalynne, who was actually on vacation this week made a  special trip in to see me.  Along with her came a box of Aunt Mary’s frosted sugar cookies (my favorite), a dinosaur blanket she made for Carson, a birthday card and a gift card for Beauty Brands.  The cookies, card and gift card were from Rosalynne, Kelly and Dodi.  Thank you so much guys, it means a lot that you took the time to do this stuff and thought about me.  Again, thank you!!  Also, thank you mom and dad for the birthday card and the gift card.  It will be great to do some shopping.

Tonight is Bryan’s going away party.  For those of you who don’t know who Bryan is, he is Rosalynne’s hubby (her blogsite is on my blogroll below) and he is in the Navy.  He will be going to Afghanistan in June, but will be leaving for California to begin his training on Sunday.  My heart goes out to them.  I think what he is doing is wonderful and I know Rosalynne is very strong, but it still makes me want to cry.  I’m hoping I can keep my emotions in check tonight.

Tomorrow is Carson’s Jurassic Park birthday party.  He may not be attending, if he doesn’t clean up his act.  I’m hoping his surge or rotteness is due to his birthday and the excitement.  I hope things will go back to our version of normal soon.
