How cute was I in 1982 in my Osh Kosh overalls blowing out the candles on my Holly Hobbie cake?
The phone calls & well wishes began early this morning. Babycakes awoke at 5 am so that we could have a special birthday-morning-snuggle-session in the rocking chair. Isn’t that thoughtful of her? Sweet girl. Thanks to everyone for my birthday songs, cards, & messages.
Wow… twenty-nine. It feels exactly like twenty-eight.
And do you know what else? It’s Wednesday and there are still toys to pick up, laundry to wash, crumbs to vacuum, a dog to walk, and a baby to entertain. Before you start feeling sorry for me, let’s put a positive spin on this. On my 29th birthday, I am blessed to have a loving husband & beautiful baby girl, enough money to provide toys for her, clothes on our backs, food in the fridge (and in crumbs underneath a very sticky highchair), a vacuum cleaner that belongs to moi, & a healthy and precious pooch. I would not be opposed, however, if the cleaning fairy stopped by the house and sent me to the spa for the afternoon.
So, happy birthday to me & a special thanks to my mom who was laboring 29 years ago today while Bread played on the radio and Dad panicked. Good job, Mom!

Happy Birthday!! Your day of normalcy sounds like a perfectly delightful birthday to me.
And kudos to you for thanking your mom for laboring. I recently told someone I was going to start sending out Thank You cards to each of my friends every time they have a baby on behalf of the baby. You know, thanks for pushing me out of your va jay jay, you’re an awesome mom.
I think it’s going to catch on.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (I turn 29 again this year. . .actually it’s the big 3-0, but I refuse to accept that.) LOVE your blog, btw.
I remember the day I first saw your face and you had been kissed by an angel’s sweet grace and I’ve never been the same since then…I’ve never been the same…I love you and what you have added to my life has been a gift…so today on your birthday let me tell you that you my darlin’ are magnificent!!
Sara,
Sweet baby girl, how we longed for you 29 years ago on this day, one of the happiest of my life. God is good! Love you, Mom
