Birthday wishes….

So tomorrow is my birthday.  This is why I’ll be found at the bar down the street at about 11pm tonight, weeping into a Jager bomb celebrating with my friends.  And earlier today, the kids gave me birthday cards.  Behold:

ADDIE J: [She did also create one of those drawings of a person with two misshapen crazy eyes and teeth that are all points.  "That's you, Mommy," she said, stroking my head with the hand she had just stuck into her Jamba Juice.  "That's my beau-ful Mommy!"]

GABBY(“”Dear Mom: you are very inportant to me.  So I want to wish you a happy birthday.  I [heart] you!  love, Gabby”): 

CAMERON: His is kind of threefold.  Part 1 (“Dear Mom, I think you are a great Mom and a great parent SO…”):

Part 2 (“You should really open”):

…and part 3 (“Do you like it?  Happy Birthday!  Cammy”):

So apparently, I’m doing something right to deserve these kids.  I would like to request that the above notes be inscribed on my headstone some day, please.  And if you’re headed out tonight and happen to see me begging to be carded enjoying my birthday party– remember: my favorite beer is Abita Turbo Dog…. but if you’re buying, I’ll probably drink anything.
