Whip out the Pine Tree Deodorizers! Happy Birthday to ME!

So today is the BIG DAY! I officially become old and stinky. I am the youngest of my High School friends and for each one I reminded them quite happily that I was STILL in my 20's and not old and stinky like they were. Today the playing field evens out again! There is only one problem I don't know what I am going to wish for when I blow out my candles.

Believe me this isn't going to be all hallmark and sappy, well maybe a little, but it is all truthful. Like the old song says 'It's my party and I'll BLOG if I want too!' OK I don't think that was the original version... it works for this though!!

For each birthday since my 22nd I have wished for a baby. As each year rolled by I began to bargain with the Birthday Wish Granter. Asking just to be pregnant before the next birthday. When that STILL didn't work I began to dread my birthday. I knew what I would ask for, and I knew that the next year would have the same outcome.

This was until my 27th birthday! I had my baby boy in my heart and I wished with all my heart to just simply bring him home. We all know how well that turned out. :-(

The following birthday we were still waiting to exit PGN with Lily with no real end in sight. I remember not even blowing candles out that year. 15 days later we got the call we were waiting for. A little late but still the best birthday present I had ever been given. I was a Mommy.

Fast forward to last year. October 1, I remember being very upset that I couldn't eat a piece of my own cupcake. Chris saved it for me (it got was a little stale- but very sweet- Chris, not the cupcake). I was extremely pregnant, terrified, and ready to give birth. Four days later my wish came true and I was a Mommy for a second time! All in one year! Two great birthday's back to back I was on a ROLL!!

I remember that I told Chris that it was like all of those birthday wishes were put on someones desk who was on vacation for 7 years! They all got processed at the same time LOL!

Now, today I honestly don't know what I will wish for. Not that I could tell anyway! I will be very careful though, you never know if the Birthday Wish Granter is on vacation again! I will have to remember what I wish for this time and see how long it takes!
