I have the best kids

Today is my birthday, but my kids started with the birthday treatment yesterday.  Lizzie prepared a glass of seltzer with a pineapple garnish (so fancy) -- she set it by the computer where she was sure I would see it.  I've also received a special card and flower pot (also by the computer).  

Winnie has been all manners and "can I get you anything, mom?" And both have been asking many questions about my favorite types of food.

I love being a mom.

I love bloggers

I just needed to take a moment to express a little gratitude to my blogging friends and community.

Somewhere inside of me there is a commandment, "thou shalt not blog a rant without contextualizing". Unfortunately, there is an even larger over-ride button and the bitter pen will throw a beloved under the nearest and largest freight train with nothing more than a minor hesitation before hitting that orange publish button.

I am happy to say that most people understand that I am just having a moment and are very supportive.  I love you guys for that. 

Thanks friends.
