About to tuck into bed and read. We celebrate the least one's birthday today, and need to be all rested up. She turns ten----and yes, I am wondering where the time went. Don't we all say that? As to festivities, she's requested beef stew for dinner (which sounds very grown-up), and strawberry cake (more in her grade level). There will be a new Barbie, some pixie sticks, animal crackers (a traditional gift), a new sort of fancy drinking cup, a Justin Bieber CD and maybe a couple of other little things from us. Not sure what the kids will do for her, except that her oldest sister did spring for a new portable CD player. Fun.
Chillin' and focusing on what's in front of me. Hard, yes, but extremely do-able. Take care, all.
