Yesterday must have been sleep with a buddy day.

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Rae, Happy birthday to you. . . . . and many more on channel 4.

Oh Pinterest, how you are playing with my emotions. I have a love/hate relationship with you. Today marks the 5th birthday we celebrate without you,but it is a celebration just the same. Usually me and my mother play hookie at work and have an adventure. This year it falls on Saturday, the family has to be invited on our playdate. Here goes to a fun day!

I smile. I cry when that song comes on the radio. I live. I imagine us in our thirties making fun of our husbands together. I remember.

It is your birthday on Saturday. I don't add up how old you would have been. I just recall what was. It doesn't matter how we celebrate, it is enough just being apart of your day.

What a week. All of kids at school have been crazy, stirring up everyone else. Lunch ladies fighting over where the table goes in the kitchen and so forth. By the time I come home and make dinner the day is over and the unwinding begins when I hit my pillow. We've all had those days. Like this one for example.


I was trying to get my kids out of the house and to the park. We decided on bikes.Crying crying. The oldest one wanted a scooter. We made it to the stop sign. The wind hit. Crying crying crying. The oldest one didn't bring a jacket. Turned around threw the children in the car. Crying until the park. Swings and slides cured the child. It took a lot to get there, but we all needed that time at the park.

Beauty and the Beast 3D was awesome! She put her dress on as soon as Belle's dance scene came on. Gma Orme couldn't believe how everything was coming out at her!

(My husband blowing sweet nothings in my ear.lol)

Dinner at Applebees with Grandma Jones. Any mother knows that taking your children to dinner is a nightmare, especially 2 hours after their regular dinner time and showing up with one of them passed out over your shoulder. My food was delicious, I think. . . .

But they sang to her and she was just fine and dandy. Birthday over. Phew.

My baby turned 5 on Friday the 13th.

She chose McDonald's for dinner at the restaurant of her choice. I was not surprised. Ever since she learned her name started with M the McDonald's sign was for her.

So we spent the evening with all of the other wild children at the McDonald's playground.


Ps. Don't you just love her outfit choices for the day
