Peyton: Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want. Everything you want.
Lucas: Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is going to come from, the next smile. The next wish come true.
Peyton: But if you believe that it is right around the corner. And you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it. To the certainty of it.
Brooke: You just might get the thing you’re wishing for.
Nathan: The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it?

I share this day with other historical feats as the Louisiana Purchase, a newly stated Hawaii, suicidal lovebirds Hitler and Eva Braun, and Al Gore birthing the internet. As well as birthday twins Jill Clayburgh, Kiki Dunst, and Spitzer call girl Ashley Dupri. I wish we could brunch.
Now that I see the date in print I’m having a bad case of the I don’t want to’s. I’m not ready for another year of not accomplishing things I want ha. But I’m given no choice.
My parents get a gold star, they did not forget! They both made a conscious effort to mention it over the last week. I let my mom have it sometime last summer after one of my sister’s because as a family we suck at birthdays, they always feel like an afterthought. I told her it’s not a party or present, it’s just nice to have someone make you feel nice and send you a freaking card. Heh, I was probably pretty vehement. But when I got to work today there was a card on my computer.
I’m going to eat a dozen cupcakes and cheer myself right up. Well not in one sitting course! I decided not to put them out with the coffee cake I made – why should everyone else get to eat my favorite? Shh. Don’t tell.
My sitter asked me if I had anywhere else Braiden could go for the summer.
I’d been worried she’d stop sitting since all her kids are in school but she’s taken on a lot of new little ones so I figured we were safe. But since there’s so many of the boys that are in kindergarten and first grade now she took on the new babies to make up for losing the fulltimers. Now she’s worried it will be too overwhelming with everyone home for the summer.
What am I supposed to do about that? I probably looked like a ghost and I could barely sputter an answer, no I don’t have anyone else to watch him. Or want anyone else to. She has no idea how much she makes my life easier. I don’t want to go through the process of finding someone else now for just a couple of months of babysitting. His friends are there, though one won’t be for the summer anyway since his mom teaches, thank goodness one off the list.
Other than my grandparents I don’t have family who really could watch him all the time and I don’t want that anyway. Daily spoiling and crazy amounts of driving. I really hope some other parents can do it so I don’t have to, don’t know what I’ll do.
Two pounds lost. Not quite the fifteen I’d been hoping for before I went in for another shot but I’m relieved. I figured in my slacking off I’d put on even more that what I was a few months ago. Somehow a smile from the nurse was all I needed, I’m sure I can do even better, that fifteen is still sounding good.
I do love the blog hopping. After stumbling across a beautiful blog from a Relay For Life search, I became hooked. What a cool couple. Well, she blogs but it’s about them both. I’m frankly bummed they live across the country. I haven’t worked up the nerve to say hello but it’s coming. Maybe they’ll give me a pass since we share a common interest, I hope. 
If not, I’m okay being a stalker.
