Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday, OH MY, THIRTY THREE

Happy Birthday to me!

Well... I woke up this morning to turning another year older. And, I'm not quite sure how I feel about it... I feel older so I guess since I'm younger than I feel, then I'm excited! Today has been a beautiful day and I'm picking up the kids after work and we are headed to my mother-in-law's pool for an evening swim and cookout.

Troy has an important job to get done by the 4th, so he left the house at 4:30am and will return (he hopes) by 8:00pm... he'll be so exhausted, so we are going to tire ourselves out so we can all curl up and crash together... We promised the kids we would watch a movie in our bed and have a slumber party for my birthday... they woke up this morning and it was the 2nd thing out of their mouths (the first was their sweet, droggy, morning voice wishing me a happy birthday!)

Anyway, Troy called me earlier today to wish me Happy Birthday and to tell me Owen's idea was to get me a new coffee maker for my birthday. But knowing nothing about coffee or coffee makers, he thought it was best if I picked it out myself (smart husband, huh?!) I've kind of turned into a coffee snob... we aren't in a town that can host a Starbucks, but we have a small town version called Perks. I just can't drink regular coffee anymore... it's got to be espresso (lattes) or there extremely bold and strong Perks House. Sorry Maxwell house, it's no longer "good to the last drop" in my cup!

Why a coffee maker as the number one gift from a 6 and 3 year old? Well, we have had several thunderstorms and tornados this past month. And, wouldn't you know... I lose my coffee maker to one of them. My 6 year old loves making me coffee on Saturdays, so I think this is one of those "mutual" gifts! He and Olivia will enjoy it just as much for the mere hope I won't be "cranky" anymore on Saturday mornings... they are so smart!

Well... off to pick the kids up and then do some web searching for a new coffee maker... what do you think about this one:
