Happy Birthday To Me...

Yeup, it's that time of year again. I'm another year
older and hopefully a bit wiser too! lol My birthday
was a bit lonely this year, with Hubby working away
from home I felt kinda left out. There was no one
here to fuss over me and make it a big deal.

My Cassie and I went out today and did our
weekly shopping.... with all three Grandmonsters
in tow. It was so hot and humid it was absolutely
miserable. The kids were a little cranky and
honestly I wasn't too far behind them. It was
a day that was meant for hibernating in the
air conditioning or flopping around in the river.

I met my sister and her hubby at the
local restaurant this evening for dinner. As
usual we had a good visit. And my Jaylan is
spending the night with me, which is always
fun.

I belong to a group called Sewing Mamas, here
on the net. Everyone in our group sews
beautifully and I've learned so much from these
ladies. Well anyway, this evening I read in one
of the threads that a member's husband is being
deployed to Iraq, I believe. This kinda put me
in a thinking mood. I can't imagine the turmoil
this Mama must be in. I can't imagine my
loved one going into such a dangerous situation.
And you know, it's not only her Hubby that is
doing the sacrificing, it's her entire family. She
will be left alone with her children, worrying
about her Hubby day and night and their
children will be missing their Daddy for several
months. I guess I never really thought about
it all. So tonight when you say your prayers,
please, don't only pray for our service men and
women, include their families also.

Have a good weekend!
