My last thought before I drifted off to sleep last night was that I was going to sleep in. After all, it was my birthday, and I am blessed to work at home. Why not? But my conspiring children had a different plan. I think they intend to spoil me all day long. At 6:30 (gulp!) they thrust on the light in my darkened bedroom and entered singing "Happy Birthday" and carrying a plate full of breakfast. (A very LARGE plate of oatmeal, toast and scrambled eggs - enough for all four of us in fact!) I smiled and thanked them. I was still so sleepy, so I asked them to put it on my nightstand. Very quickly I realized that they were going to stand there and watch me sleep until I sat up and ate something! It was so sweet. I never did go back to sleep – but the three of them have taken over my bed and are in there snoozing now. I am so very blessed. How did three such awesome kids ever come from a wreck of a mom like me? God's grace. How beautiful.

Happy Birthday to You!!
ReplyDeleteI remember at about 10 years old doing the same thing to my mom on mother's day. Hehehe. I guess early morning breakfast calls are how kids show their love!
Thanks for your comments on my blog - I liked your purse stories. I totally 'got' them ;-)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy being spoiled and your front porch and beach smelling air.
