some thoughts on how my birthday has changed now that I am a mom

1. I call my mom and thank her for going through labor and delivery
2. I call my mom because I realize now that today is just as special of a day for her as it is for me
3. It is not quite as exciting as my kids birthdays
4. I forget how old I am ALL the time
5. I feel older then I am
6. I ask for things like the carpet cleaned or a new spatula to make pancakes with instead of the newest fashion trends
7. What are the newest fashion trends anyways?
8. I am not as concerned with how many people remember, but very thankful for the ones that do
9. I do not expect nor do I want the day to revolve around me
10. I used to wonder what gifts my family and friends would get me, and now I realize my friends and family are my greatest gifts
11. It used to be more important what my cake looked like, now how it tastes is way more important!
