11-3-15 Forty-four...couldn't ask for anything more

Charlie wished me a happy birthday while we were still in bed around 0430 this morning. Then when I woke the kids, they both remembered to wish me a happy birthday right off the bat which made me happy.

Lily had homemade cards and a birthday banner on the kitchen table for me this morning. She laid it out last night so I'd see it first thing. The card is lovely and tells me what a good job I'm doing as a mom and fellow human being. A highlight of my day to be sure.

On the way to school I asked the kids to form a slogan for me for my 44th year. Lily came up with "44...glorious no more." Luke is still thinking on it.

I want to be more active this year. So I went out to the garden bright and early and did a lot of weeding. I think I dumped 4 garden carts full of weeds and plants killed by frost. It's no longer an eyesore to look out the windows at the garden.

I made myself chicken marsala for lunch. Lots of onions, peppers, and mushrooms. It was fabulous! Then I watched The Good Wife on Hulu and read a great book. I finished up my afternoon of pleasure by chatting with Mom.
