from anniversary to birthday

I'm still trying to figure out how I let my hubby talk me into getting married two days before my wedding.  I wonder if he had an angle? In theory it is probably easier to remember the anniversary & birthday when they are so close together.  At the very least they take up enough room on the calendar so they are bound to draw his attention.  Well, whatever the motivation, it is my birthday today. I'm not sure I want to admit to how fast the years are passing, but let's just say I was born in the 60's *eek*



I love this picture, I was a flower girl for my big sister's wedding. I was 5 years old and at the time I think I felt like a princess in this dress. My sister even saved the dress for me and I put it away for the day I would possibly have a daughter so she could see how funky the 70's were.

So how will I be spending the day? I think I just want this day to pass like any other, with not too much celebratory fussing and instead plenty of time with the kids. My two sons have been at their cousin's house for the past two nights so having them back is wonderful. They and their sisters' will bring a very steady dose of reality to my day starting with "what's for breakfast mum?..."  Off I go.

happy birthday to me...
