Have you ever tried to sleep on a queen size mattress after spending 10 months on a king size mattress? No fun. Even more no fun when a certain lonely dog has decided that for the first time in her life she must, repeat MUST be in the middle of the bed all sprawled out & comfortable. When I'm not. And her daddy isn't. Well, the man can sleep through anything, so I'm not really worried about him, but me? I NEED my beauty sleep, because I'm so not seeing any beauty in the mirror lately.
I'm heading off to bed to TRY to sleep earlier than usual tonight, but I wanted to say how happy I am that my husband worked out a way for us to stay away from the office tomorrow, and I'm going to get to SLEEP-in. Yay! Want to know why?
Confession? I'm not afraid to admit this to anyone who can stomach hearing it, but as a first born, and only child for 4.5 critical years, I'm not really the one to blame, so I'll admit it. A certain personal day marking my birth, has always fallen on or near a major US holiday, so I've been known to call this weekend, not "Labor Day Weekend," but rather "My Birthday Weekend." That's right. The whole country has a long weekend for MY birthday.
You are welcome.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU WONDERFUL WOMAN!!
Bubba & I love you very much!!!
Have a terrific birthday weekend!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Have a wonderful weekend.
My daughter was born on 9/1/03 and that was labor day that year. We are also calling it Andrea's birthday weekend.

Happy Birthday, Boulder! I'm going to celebrate your birthday this weekend by relaxing, perhaps taking in a glass of wine or two, and toasting you!

I am so happy to see you sounding chipper! My dog used to think that but has given up since she ends up squashed btwn both of us. She now sleeps in her basket until one of us vacates the premises.
Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Am so happy your country is appropriately bowing to you, dahling. Have a blast!

Happy Birthday Boulder!
I read the posts I have missed, and was broken hearted to learn your daughter was lost in your 2nd trimester. I also lost a little girl (17 weeks), and the pain some days is unbearable. It has been 3 1/2 months. I am praying it gets easier with time. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your losses. Just found you today via one of your blogging buddies. My heart goes out to you.
And BTW, on a lighter note, thank you for being born this weekend and giving us all a long weekend! You rock! :)
