My day began in the wee hours of the morning, feeding my newborn, and then giving my firstborn a "breathing treatment" as she lay in her bed.
I was moved to tears, when my mom called at 8:30. For the first 30 years of my life, no matter where I was (my parents' home, away at college, at my adult home in another state), my grandpa has called and sang Happy Birthday to me on the phone. His recent medical issues have left him unable to speak for the time being, and he "asked" my mom to call and sing for him. I appreciated her doing that for him, and for me. It was one more reminder of how my grandparents are aging, and it tears me up to think about it.
As I got off the phone, Chas and Abby came upstairs with my birthday card and presents. They cheered me up with the sweet card, and something I've been wanting for a while- a Wii Fit. I got the Biggest Loser "game" to go with it as well. :)
We went and had mexican food for lunch- yummy- and are now back home. Chas had to go to work, so the kids and I are laying low at home for the rest of the day. Now, I need to get off here and go finish making their Halloween costumes! :)
