Which part of the hill...

is 30?

You say it's your birthday

It's my birthday too~~yeah...

It's official... Of course, it is just a number, no big deal, but today is the day. What do I want to do? Absolutely nothing. That is a total first for me. We usually do lots of different things on my birthday, this is the first year I feel like just kickin' it at home. Will that happen though? Who knows.

All my lil cubs are just excited as can be, you gotta love that. It's simply amazing to me, there are now 4 of them. Last year this time there were only 3. Our 4th has fit into our lives so well. Hubby and I were talking about that earlier today. He is just such a happy and curious baby and just plain fun to be around. Our 3rd cub just adores him and the feelings are so obviously mutual. It is going to be something worth watching, those two growing up together.

I can't help but think this is the official birthday, where I am an adult. I really don't feel all that

"grown-up." I wonder sometimes whether that is going to happen or not. Who knows, maybe I'll be that 80 year old granny sitting there with my grandkids playing the latest video games, listening to the latest music, or watching the newest cartoon craze. One could only hope.

When I was little, I must have been like no more than 2, my mom used to read this book to me, it was called Baby's Birthday. I used to make her read that to me soooooooo many times, I memorized it. It starts out with, "Wake up baby, this is your special day. A birthday is filled with fun and surprises..." Anyhow, I thought it would be cool to buy the book and I looked high and low for it and finally found it on ebay. I mean, I looked for years. I thought it would be cool to have and read to the cubs a few times, but mainly just to have. I remember the pictures so well, it's insane.

Back to the subject, I found it and it was in Australia Ebay. I literally was just grinning ear to ear when I found it, and then when it came in, I read it to myself and it was so familiar it was scary. I told my mom about it and she about bawled, not because I remembered or anything, but because I bought it. She also found it on ebay, a mint copy out of canada. She was going to give it to me for my 30th birthday. So that is what I get from my mommy today. It's kinda cool.

So yes, she told me about it in advance, but I'm glad she did, or I'd be bawling like a baby, when opening it. It does give me a little hope that my children will remember just a few of the special things we do as a family, or little things I do with them, the crazy songs we sing, the silly dances, the goofy books we read, the games we play, the laughs we share.

The cycle of life is an amazing thing, I'm just glad I have the cubs I do, and the hubby I do to share this wonderous trip with. I feel more than blessed.

Well out for the night, hubby awaits

Btw~ go ahead and have a piece of cake!!! It's delish!!
