You made it! Welcome! I hope you brought your fragments. If not, I've got plenty to share....

"....at the end of the toenail, there is a light!" I heard our Nigerian priest say at Easter mass on Sunday. I love listening to that guy's homilies; he's so funny. You really have to stay "on your toes" to understand what he's saying!haha

There are just six weeks left of school, and I am practically giddy. I've already found myself singing in the hallway at school, which normally doesn't happen until the last few weeks.***
If you haven't heard the great news about the new camera for Difference Makers, check out this post :) ***

Kendall is the proud owner of a new, official driver's license! The instructor referred to her on-the-road test performance as "fantastic." I'll try to remember that when she's out driving alone at night.

I had a crown prep on Monday. My dentist and I are praying that I do not actually need a root canal. As much as I hate those kinds of appointments (and the fact that I have thousands of dollars worth of dental work in my mouth), I'm grateful that I have dental insurance.

I took Wednesday off to run an errand and take Kendall to that driving test. Sleeping in until 8:30 was heavenly. Waking up to a quiet house (with no robin bashing into the bedroom window repeatedly, on purpose) was divine.

My birthday was Tuesday. I took the date off of Facebook months ago and still got some wishes there, but my favorites are the actual cards I received in the mail (as well as a few personal emails). I guess I'm getting old, but knowing that people actually took the time to send a card means the most. (Let that be a lesson to me!haha) Kendall wrote the most beautiful birthday letter a mother could hope for, too. So yeah, it was nice. Thanks.
Have a fantastic weekend (right after you link up)!
Feliz cumpleaños a ti!
ReplyDeleteNothing beats an actual voice and a hand written note. Nothing. Typed/e-mail is great though. Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday ;) I can't believe how fast this school year has gone... it's nuts ... as a mom I am so not ready to have my kids home full time yet...
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be the day for long frag posts... mine isn't quite an epic, but I had a lot to say too ;)
First off, happy belated birthday! I hope it was awesome. Secondly, I NEVER would have thought I'd think sleeping until 8:30 was sleeping in, but my 2nd child has decided to be the only person in this family who wakes up before 8... he is usually up between 6 and 7:15 sometime. TOO early for me!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday from the 42N latitude. I hope you celebrated it in proper Wisconsin fashion - with lots of beer, brats and cheese.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Kendall! It doesn't matter what the instructor said. You're a mom. You have to worry! Happy Birthday!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Facebook birthdays. There are just so many wishes and so many friends come out of their lurker status to post a note. My Happy Birthday wishes to you!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Kendall! I bet she's going to love love love her new life. When I finally got to drive, I swear, my life began :)
Congrats on the DM accomplishments and that camera - too cool.
Kristin
Happy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats to Kendall on the new driver's license. You're a mom, and I know you'll worry, but you've got a good girl there {from what I've read}. :)
Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI once made cookies for a crabby old neighbor. Too bad I didn't taste them before I took them over to her. I'd forgotten to put the sugar in!
Congrats to Kendall!
Hope you had an awesome birthday. I had to have a root canal not too long ago... man... I really don't like the dentist!! Sorry, I can't get that out of my head so I am not lost at what else I was going to say...
ReplyDeleteShelbie and I are planning on making some cake pops next week...I'll let you know how they turn out!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday, sounds like a good one.
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI, too, need to take a day off just to get some things done... I'll get to it...the problem is that I still have to drive my own kids into carpool!
Driver's license...oh how happy and nerve-wracking all at the same time!
Happy Belated Birthday! Today is my sons! Good people born in April!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Kendell!! Drivers license is such a big deal!!
At the end of the toe nail there is a light. HILARIOUS in every way!
ReplyDeletewhy did you take the date off? happy late birthday!
ReplyDeletei too am 'singing in the halls' for summer to start!! woohoo!! i hope you have a great 6 weeks to the end!!
cake pops.. hmmmm, i would like to try those!! i would eat too many as well ;-)
Happy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteI don't get to do it often, but sleeping in is a wonderful luxury. :) And soon you'll be able to do it more often! YAY!
ReplyDeleteI'm going try the cake pops on Sunday. I'm going to Joann's tonight after work for supplies.
Happy Birthday - it's either really early or a little late depending how you look at it.
ReplyDeleteI believe everyone should limit their personal info on FB. You don't really need to put your b-day up there because some friend or relative will remember and post something which gets noticed by the others.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You really ought to make a bigger deal of it. Please tell me you at least got cake out of the deal?
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your new driver. I'm sure she is a fabulous and conscientious driver.
Well, happy birthday!! Now Kendall can run out for the birthday cake!!! (Or supplies for more Cake Pops... addictive, aren't they?!)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful birthday, Happy Late Birthday to you! Remember, we are all getting older, but we celebrate life which beats the alternative, death!
ReplyDeleteYAY to Kendall on her driver's licence!
Thanks for hosting FF's!
Aww, you've got such great kids and they've got such great parents.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm SOOOOOO ready for Hubby to be done with school (he teaches 8th grade social studies). Seriously, this school year needs to be over. Like, yesterday!
Congratulations to Kendall on getting her driver's license, and I'll be praying that you don't need that root canal!
Your priest sounds quite interesting, and knows how to keep the parishioners awake :-)
ReplyDeleteIsn't that scary when your kid gets their licence?
My stepson just got a motorcycle and I sit here and imagine the worst all day long.
I got the shivers when you spoke about the dentist. I have to have 4 teeth removed and get a partial. Only problem is, I have to go around with no teeth for several weeks to a month while awaiting the partial...I keep putting it off.
ok, so my story is long enough...
Have a grand weekend!
Happy Belated Birthday! And those cake pops sound delish! I'm gonna have to try those out.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for a legal driver, but I know what you mean. Ours has been driving for 2 years now on his own, and I still wait up to hear him come in the door.
Happy Weekend!
My birthday is next week. You don't look a day over 6 years-old. Which is really weird, since you have a child who can drive.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea about taking it off facebook. I'd much rather people say happy birthday b/c they remembered, not b/c they see a reminder on fb!
