Today is Stephen's birthday! He is 34 years old today! He was born on Thursday October 16, 1969 at 9:27pm. He weighed 8lbs 14 ozs and was 21 inches long. Mothers can always recite this kind of stuff that mean really nothing to anyone except themselves. It's a kind of bragging right we have as Mothers. It has always reminded me of guys that brag about how big the fish was they caught.
Birthdays at my house always come with a load of gifts and of course the perverbial birthday cake. I always try to make it another HALLMARK moment, but for various reasons it usually doesn't turn out that way. Either the gifts aren't quite right, size and or color is off, the cake falls, the giftwrap looks like it was used before, an unsuspecting guest steps in something outside and tracks it in (you know what I am talking about), the girls in all the excitement greeting people shreds someone's nylons....oh good Lord, it could be a host of things that would keep one of my birthday parties off of the HALLMARK'S GREATEST MOMENTS list.
But after the last gift is opened, the last bite of cake is gone, the last joke is told, the mess is cleaned up, the guests leave and the lights are turned out, I figure we've had a great time together and so does everyone else.
We are already planning our next get together!
