Happy Bday to me!

I started today excited to see how my 43rd year on earth would begin.  Maybe a chance to sleep in an extra 15 minutes? Or the kids making me breakfast in bed? Or perhaps someone else to take charge of feeding our dog?  Sadly none of the above happened.  I awoke to my son's alarm beeping like crazy because apparently he sleeps like a rock.  After, gently {yeah right} reminding him that his alarm was still on, I tried to lay back down.  After 5 minutes, our dog decides she has had enough and is starving that I get a cold nose in my ear.  So grumbling I get up to feed her and let her out.  Pass daughter on the stairs and she wishes me a happy birthday and then "the rock" reminds me he needs lunch money as of yesterday. Sigh!!!  It's all quiet after they leave and I get ready for work.  Head on out to my car, get in and NOTHING!  Wouldn't start!  Give me a break!  But the day wasn't a total loss.  It did get better.  I received a lot of nice gifts and a brand new car battery.  :)  Should have taken a picture of that, but thought the new shirts were prettier.  :)
