Thirty-Six
Monday, September 27, 2010 at 10:19PM Ten years ago I was pregnant with my first child. I was getting rounder, excitedly wearing maternity clothes, glowing proudly as I tried to show off my stick-out-belly.
Twenty years ago I was eagerly awaiting a trip to the DMV. I couldn't wait to get my license!
Thirty years ago I was a happy little first grader, in Mrs. Good's class.
Today I am trying to hide my stick-out-belly (there's no baby to show off in there...just belly!).
Today I went to the Texas DMV in order to get a Texas driver's license. (They call it a driver license. Does anyone else think that sounds completely wrong? I just can't call it that.) I spent about an hour and a half waiting, waiting, waiting to get my new license...mainly because my old one expired today.
Today I am a happy little girl woman and I am taking one day at a time. And just recently they have been good.
My children sang "Happy Birthday" to me this morning. My husband bought me a new sewing machine and went out of his way to make my evening special. He picked up dinner, and then surprised me with a cheesecake cake and invited some friends to share it with us. And they blessed me with homemade cards and a gift! There were other blessings along the way today, unexpected moments, that brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face.
Do you know what? There was a lot of joy. Joy!
What a day! And now I am thirty-six.
So far, thirty-six is all right.

Yes that does sound totally wrong.
Glad your day (and your life) are joy-full. :)
So glad you had a wonderful Birthday! I hope this year is full of much joy and many blessings.
That cannot be the correct way to say it. It just can't.
You look so happy and beautiful! What a wonderful hubby too.
