Happy Birthday to Me

44 is not that big of a deal - I mean it's not 50 now is it? I got the ususal cards and dinner and a great certificate for a spa treatment. I believe my family feels I need to reduce my stress. I wonder what makes them think that? Hmmm?

I did get one extrodinary present - from my 12 year old daughter. She surprised me with a short story she wrote - that gave me an insight to her feelings about me. It was the best present I think I have ever received. I'll keep it forever and make sure she sees it once she becomes a famous novelist. Who knows, maybe then I'll get a dedication!

So you see - getting older isn't so bad, as long as I have my husband and kids - life is pretty damned good.
