It's almost 4:00 and I'm doing some resting before we head out for dinner. So far today has been a good one. Even Darren sent me birthday wishes and he hopes I have a wonderful day. My birth mother sent me an email but it was just a forward. As strained as our relationship is..and believe me when I say I'm being very generous when I say relationship...I'm surprised she even sent me anything. Margaret and I hit The Lighthouse and I got a beautiful hunter green velvet dress for the holidays...I'm always thinking ahead and for only $1.00 it was worth it, I got the top I woke up thinking about this morning, a classic little black dress (what every woman needs in her closet) and a couple of things for the girls. Then we went grocery shopping at Margaret's insistence. Again...another birthday gift from her. I have to say...none of what Margaret has done for me was asked for. This is just the type of person she is. Very giving and very loving when it comes to her friends. She is the type of person who would give the shirt off her back if someone needed it. She did give me a cool ribbon that says "39 Forever"...of which I plan on remaining. I won't turn 40. Just not an option. LOL Margaret is a good person and I wish everyone could have a friend like her. I've said it before and I'll say it again...I am blessed to have her in my life. Not because she gives me gifts, which by the way is only on special occasions, but because she will listen to me and give me an honest to goodness truthful opinion of what she thinks is happening. No sugarcoating at all. She definately will not tell me what she thinks I want to hear. It's the flat out truth and nothing less. Actually...all of my friends are that way. Sometimes I wish they would marshmallow their thoughts...LOL....but I am thankful that they don't. Keeps me grounded. Now to go relax on the couch, finish my tea and then get ready for dinner and a night out. If today is any indication of tonight...it's going to be a great one. :)
Well I got a couple more hours of sleep. I have the best kids. They let me sleep and didn't wake me up until my cell started ringing. We went out and about today. K wanted to try Bubble Tea so I obliged her. Mistake. It is not good by any stretch of the imagination. If you don't know what Bubble Tea is....g00gle it. Once you find out...don't try it. *shudder* An expensive taste test. There is a storm heading our way. Would you believe it's supposed to snow tonight??? Snow on Easter. How odd would that be? Speaking of Easter...my girls are watching TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) and watching a childs version of The Passion. Even watching the crucifixtion of Christ as a cartoon it still brings tears to my eyes. I am so unworthy of what He went through for me. Well not just me but all of mankind. I saw The Passion last year and that is when I realized I needed to turn my life around. I was making a serious mess of things so I gave it all back to God. My life has had it...
