Yeah, it’s that day again. Don’t really feel like celebrating today, dunno why, normally I really enjoy by b-day. Maybe I’m getting too old for this, ha! We’ll be ‘celebrating’ on the weekend anyway…
Charlotte went out with Jo the other day, and got me my favorite body lotion; she took the risk and told Cherise about it, telling her not to tell Mommy it’s lotion. Cherise promptly came to me and said, “Mommy, it’s not body lotion!” Charlotte was in tears, but then she decided just to give it to me early, since the cat was out of the bag. I laughed so hard (w/o CC seeing, of course), Cherise is at the age where a secret is just too good to keep, and as hard as she tries, it spills out somehow. The funny thing is, she’s really into ‘surprises’ and insists on always being the one to keep things secret and make surprises for others, and gets hurt if we, say, come into the kitchen while she’s making chocolate pudding or cookies for snack. Anyway, I thought it was really sweet of CC to remember my favorite lotion, make Jo buy it (she added some of her hard earned allowance as well), and then check and double check afterwards to make sure it’s the right one. Cherise talked Jo into getting me a box of chocolates, which she presented to me this morning, saying, “We were hoping you would share.” Ha! Ha! Ha!
What I like best on my birthday are e-cards…so flood me, ha! No, I’m kidding, sure everyone has better things to do with their time…
