Birthdays, Family, and other misc.

I made a 'chance' comment as to how my 'kids' were going to throw a 'birthday' bash for my 50th birthday, to a co-worker. His response? 'You're lucky to have kids that CAN do that for you!' Can, not 'will', there is a reason. Although John is my age, he doesn't have any children, and would 'VERY' much like some. It made me think how lucky I was to have my 7 children. It is a bit unfair that I have 7 and he doesn't have any. However, I am not willing to part with any of mine, so what do you do? I suppose you 'thank' the Good Lord for the things you do enjoy. And I do! [thank him] I enjoyed last night with Rachel and the girls so much. Brynna was so adorable. She got the remote for the sitting room light. It was so cute. Light on, light off, light on--- She also had the ceiling fan whipping around at a speed even I didn't know it would go! That girl had 'power' and she knew it. I now understand the statement, 'you only have kids so you can get GRANDKIDS!' Oh yeah! This is so much fun. Not to say my kids haven't been fun. They've been a total 'ball.' I can't think of 'ANY' time when I didn't think, 'this is so good!' 'I'm so lucky to have my family!' [unless it's when Brandon was in grade school, that was a challenge!!!] I am glad I didn't keep my promise to Brandon the night I was walking the street with him saying, 'you are going to be an ONLY child!' Love to all!!
