happy birthday to me

lovely day, birthday seem to get better, or everyone tried awfully hard to make sure i had a lovely day, particularly lux, it was so important to her that my day went just so, and of course it didn't, days never do, or days with huxley rarely do :). its a life lesson for my perfectionist to just "go with it" and embrace what you get and have a wonderfully happy day anyways. hard for her to do that, hard for me to do that, but i'm learning, with age, experiencs and with huxley you have to learn "go with it". so i had a lovely day. a starbucks breakfast, long haircut (not sure i'm crazy about the cut, but i'm "going with it", a shopping spree at nordstroms, Geoffrey "buy whatever honey", lunch in the nordstroms cafe, playground with the kids, dinner at jac's, home for cupcakes. so i spent NO time in the kitchen today AND had the house to myself for 30 minutes while Geoffrey took the kids to buy cupcakes and i honestly couldn't remember having my house to MYSELF, well forever, months probably. it was lovely. all very nice to have my kids, husband, friends - and all from afar, parents, family, in laws, friends sending me warm birthday wishes. i somehow feel like i don't deserve any of it, but it was very nice and i love you all very much and today i feel touched but your warmth and love from nearby and faraway. thank you.
