18 years ago today my second child was given to us.
He was the easiest delivery of all
looked like my dad
had a great head of hair
came out talking...
ready to argue his case.
By the time actual words were formed,
he was hoarse...not kidding.
So this morning, in honor of this little devilish imp
who has turned into a young man who is his mother's joy
we ALL{insert shock and awe}
gathered around the table before school
and had a little birthday breakfast
Shortest birthday celebration ever...

Alarm goes off

Happy Birthday to Nick, and to Mama!
Great way to celebrate and have it all done and dusted before school...well done! Hope you all enjoyed the rest of the day too.
I don't know what's taken me so darn long to stop by here for a visit, as it is one of my favorite blogs and you are a woman i so admire and miss!
Happy birthday to your son who I hope meets a woman someday who needs a place to hang her hangers, 'cause he'll KNOW she's the one. Why else would have such a large hole on his ear from which to accomodate such a woman in such a quandry?? :) My nephew sports the same 'accessory' and we love him for it.
HAppy birthday to your awesome zombie! His greatest gift in life is that you are his mother. I hope he knows it.
