My Birthday!!!
I'm thirty-nine today. For the first time. Really. I'll be honest: I love birthdays. I love getting pampered a couple of days each year (Mother's Day and my birthday). There has never been any danger of anyone close to me forgetting my birthday because I always start reminding them a week or two ahead of time. As a matter of fact, I have been known to celebrate a birthday week.
With my birthday being on Sunday this year, it was pretty much a given that I would enjoy a birthday weekend. Unfortunately, I spent the entire day Saturday in bed with a killer headache that would not go away. Brian finally took the kids out to get something to eat around 7:00 because I was still in bed. They brought me back something, but I couldn't eat it.
Josh saved the day, though. He bought me a Heath bar. I love those things. He insisted that it was my favorite even though Brian tried to convince him that Butterfingers were my favorite. Those two have been in a dead heat for a couple of years, but Heath has recently kind of edged out Butterfingers. Josh knows this because I always try to talk him out of any Heath bars he may have scored while trick-or-treating. ;-)
So, I started nibbling on the Heath bar and found that my stomach could tolerate that. I was actually able to eat the whole thing and, miraculously, my headache started going away. Then, I was able to eat some of the food that Brian brought me and I'm finally feeling *much* better.
Just in time to get a good night's rest and enjoy my day of self-indulgence when I get up. *big grin*

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Kri-is, Happy Birthday to you...and many moooore :) Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteLOL I've been known to celebrate a birthday week too.
Happy, happy, happy birthday!!! As a fellow Heath lover, I hope you have a fantastic day!! You deserve a Heath Blizzard with *extra* Heath in it! (That's my favorite Heath inspired treat ;))
ReplyDeleteIf you'll indulge the sap for a moment, I treasure your friendship and am blessed to have you in my corner on this parenting and schooling journey. I appreciate that you 'get' me and that we share so many of the same tendencies.
Now if I could only get my blogging back up to speed, we'd really be in sync :)
Happy Birthday! Sorry to hear about the headache. Kinda weird, but a similar thing happened to me yesterday. That's only the third migraine I've ever gotten, too, but for me after about three hours in bed I woke up pretty much better. Sorry to hear that yours took the whole day. So, I guess you deserve double pampering today since you missed out yesterday.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your last year as a thirty-something. Can't wait to hear how you all celebrate!

Happy Birthday! Today we are celebrating our third child's 7th birthday!
ReplyDelete(Out of four kids, three of them were born this week- the 1st, the 7th, and one more on the 10th!)
Have a great day of self indulgence!

I am totally going to remember the Heath bar cure next time I have a killer headache! That is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteOh--and Happy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteI love Mother's Day and my birthday for the same reasons as you. I turned 40 this year and have always sworn to not be depressed about birthdays, but instead to embrace them and celebrate.
ReplyDeleteI hope your birthday is a good one.
Happy Birthday Kris!! I hope you have an awesome day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! Heh - see now, chocolate cures everything LOL
ReplyDeleteYay for Heath Bars!!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I've been blessed with an incredible family and some wonderful friends of both the "in person" and the cyber variety. You've all helped to make my day fantastic. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Dear Kris! :) Sorry to hear you had a headache - glad to hear that candy was the cure! hee hee
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you! Have a wonderful time with your family today and please follow my #1 rule of birthdays -- NO DISHES!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that I am not the only one who loves birthdays : )
ReplyDeleteMy birthday is May 13th, so starting in November, on the 13th of each month (minus December) I call my Dad to give him the countdown. Then starting 1-2 weeks ahead of time I call and leave a message on his answering machine every day.
This year, my mind has been so much on preparing for the baby and trying to feel good that I missed some days calling him. He actually called me and left messages on those days. He sounded more excited than me.
Well I hope you have a fantastic birthday : )
Happy Birthday! I hope you are having a great day! I'm glad you're feeling better!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! So glad you're feeling better, and up for a little self-indulgence. I will remember to grab some form of chocolate the next time I have a headache (too bad, we don't have Heath bars here)!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Kris! I had one of those headaches today...didn't quite into my schedule, you know?
ReplyDeleteHope your birthday was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Birthday! I love birthdays and Mother's Day too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Kris,
ReplyDeleteIf you lived closer, I would make you a balloon hat and give you a face paint. Live it up!

Happy birthday ... a little late!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! My birthday and Mother's Day are very close, so sometimes they get smooshed together, but I also enjoy the pampering.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful day!
Blessings,
