Terry gave me the most romantic birthday card. On the front, it says,
�I read about a 50-year old who ran six miles every morning, ate only organic foods, and had sex twice a day.� Inside the card it went on to say,
�Isn�t it amazing how detailed the obituaries have gotten lately? Happy Birthday.
He is such a sweetie.
Since it is my birthday today, I am going to go hog wild and celebrate. I am going to finish my laundry and leave a stack of it on top of the dryer! I am going to make my next cup of coffee and leave the teaspoon on the counter! I am NOT going to make my bed! Wow I am so excited, I could pee! I am not even going to shower until this afternoon! Woah, do I know how to part-ay or what?????
Okay, so I�m not doing anything different today. That�s okay. My every days suite me just fine.
Love this, love this love this!! I hope nobody takes offense. PETA people, go away. nothing to see here.
Happy Father�s Day to all you dads out there. Hope it�s a good one.
On that, I have one more thing to add. I have been reading a handful of you lately with teenage sons. I hurt for you. I have been where you are and I remember it like yesterday. Cheer up. This is where it goes from there. This is the actual conversation from this morning at 8:45.
(Ring, ring) Terry: �Hello.�
My 36-year-old son, Jeff, �Hey Terry! I just called to wish you a happy Father�s Day.�
Terry, �Oh, thank you.�
Jeff, �Did I wake you up?�
Terry, �No. Don�t you think it would be nice if you wished your mom a Happy Birthday?�
At this point, Terry hands me the phone.
Jeff, �Hey. Today�s not your birthday, is it?�
Me, �Ummm, yea, it is.�
Jeff, �No it isn�t. What is the date today?�
Me, �The 17th.�
Jeff, �Oh!, I thought today was the 15th!�
Me, �Then how did you know it was Father�s Day?�
Jeff, �Someone text messaged me at 8:00.�
Me, �You are sooo lying. You forgot!
Jeff, �No, I didn�t!
Me:, �Shut up! You are so busted!
Jeff, �Well, Happy Birthday.�
Me, �Ya, I love you too.�
So see? It does change when they get older. It doesn�t get any better, but it changes. Change is good.
