Happy Birthday To ME!
By michelle | April 22, 2010
Since last year’s birthday was not the best, but darling hubby tried to make it up to me this year… and he did a great job!

Bunky woke up at 6:20, and since I didn’t want to be up that early on my birthday, I handed him over to my hubby, who took him downstairs. Two hours later, I woke up. As I emerged from my bedroom, I was attacked by my two oldest monkeys carrying pictures that they had drawn for my birthday. Then I smelled something… breakfast! My husband hasn’t cooked for me in five years (yes, five years!). So this was a BIG surprise!
Of course, the day was spent like any other day of a SAHM, but I was able to take a break and watch some a movie (The Blind Side) in the afternoon. My hubby surprised me and took the entire family out to dinner to Applebees. The kids thought the name of the restaurant was hysterical and they kept saying, “Apple.. bees! Apple… bees!” in the car on the way there. The Applebees is in the same area as a Brusters, and as soon as Spunky saw that, she said, “Hooray! Ice Cream!”
When we got home, my hubby put the big kids to bed and then we watched some TV. I was asleep by 10:30- that is very early for me!
It was a great day filled with phone calls from friends and family and lots of Facebook birthday wishes. (Facebook always makes you feel so popular on your birthday!)\
I am so thankful for my wonderful birthday and my amazing family!
