Happy Birthday to me! I have officially entered the final year that I can call myself a “thirty-something”. It wasn’t an unusual or eventful day. It started at 5:45am with Trevor calling out, “Where are you Mommmmmmmyyy??” What are you doing??” He was up for the day, and he sure had a cranky late morning!
Brendan had OT and his therapist was thoughtful and brought some cupcakes. Brendan’s new nurse started her real shifts today and did a good job.
This is what Trevor baked for me last night
Boom! Lemon-lime!
This chicken is the closest thing to a birthday tradition that I can think of. Bill cleaned and set up the charcoal grill to do it right. YUMMMM
Bone-picking, finger-licking good
Or good for drumming too
We broke out some party glow sticks for bath time and the post bath antics hour.
If Trevor lets me put a bandaid on his skin, you know it has to be very serious.
TWO MONTHS ago while we were camping, Trevor tripped and fell into a little ball of cholla. I got all the tiny bits out of his hand and leg, but there was one tiny little dot on his knee that I could not pull anything from. All this time I have watched the little bump for any signs of infection, and all it ever was was a raised bump.
Finally, the bump started to push out the “foreign body”. It took some coaxing, but with a good pair of tweezers, a bright light, and lots of hugs, we pulled the stupid thorn out. I was shocked at how long it was, I wasn’t expecting that! It was almost 1/4inch.
He got some minty M&Ms for being such an amazing patient. Now that can finally heal!
I really wish that all my family could have been here to enjoy my birthday dinner with us. I didn’t get dressed up or go to a fancy restaurant. I did finally order the new camera lens that I have been eyeing. YAY!
Throughout the day, I was tired and frustrated, but I have three special guys that made the day awesome and unforgettable in the end.
Happy Birthday, Tiffanie!! 🙂
Great job Trevor did with that cake!
Mustard barbecued chicken…that is definitely yum, now I want some! 🙂
That is an adorable video you have with birthday wishes and silly boys. Since I sent you wishes in my last comment, I won’t repeat myself except to tell you how much I love you and miss you. I’m glad you had a nice healthy day with your family and that Brendan’s nurse worked out well.
Lots and lots of birthday hugs and kisses with love,
Mom xoxoxo
Happy Birthday! Is that cool whip frosting on that lemon lime cake….? YUM!!!
We wish we could be there too to celebrate your birthday. We hope that even though it was a low key day, you still had a good day and took the to celebrate all that is good about you – the good person, wife, mom, friend, artist, medical manager, and sister!
Tiffanie, from the sights, and sounds of that video, I think it is safe to say, *You*, had a *Happy* birthday !! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Trevor, 😉 That “SPIKE” you buried in your knee?……that really isn’t 😉 “carrying a concealed weapon” 😮 🙂 🙂
Brendan, 🙂 🙂 It is always good to see you and your Bro’ happy, and playing.
Today, is a good day.
