Pass the Tylenol

I must have temporarily lost my mind about 2 months ago when I decided to have Mikey and Maddy's birthday parties not only in the same weekend, but on the same day. 'Oh, I'll just rent a bouncehouse for the day and have their parties back to back...so easy!!' Oh, right, piece of cake. OH NO I still have to pick up the CAKES!!!

Anyways I know that I have phone calls and emails to return and I promise I will get back with all of you on Monday!! Right now I am in total birthday hell.

But I did want to stop and take a minute from this b-day madness to wish a very, very happy birthday to my precious, sweet, loving, handsome son Mikey (or Michael as he goes by these days) who is turning NINE on Saturday....I am the luckiest woman in the whole world to be able to call myself your mom. Every year I don't think I could possibly be more proud of you and every year you prove me wrong. I love you.

And to my **sniff sniff** baby Maddy...happy first birthday, my precious---it's hard to believe you have only been in my life for a year, it seems like we have known each other our whole lives, my little soulmate. A year ago Sunday I tearfully and joyfully welcomed you into our family with big open arms, with the TX/OU game on behind my dr's head :) I am so proud of you and love you with all my heart.
