Happy Birthday to ME!!!

What a wonderful day !

1st, let me say that I'm so glad that my Birthday fell on Sunday this year.  The last thing I want to do is go to my radiation  treatment today.

The morning started of with little Cody handing me a beautiful bouquet of flowers as he was saying Happy Birthday Mommy.  He's my special little man and he was so proud to give me the flowers.  He wanted to make sure that I knew the flowers were red and pink.  Ken's parents were in town visiting and we all had breakfast together.  Last night Ken's parents watched Cody so that Ken and I could go out to dinner at Clyde's and see Star Wars episode I in 3D.  It's not often we get date nights out so it was fun to celebrate my Birthday with just Ken and I.

After breakfast, I met up with my new friend and pink sister Jen.  I was really looking forward to meeting her.  She had breast cancer 4 years ago and she is a wealth of knowledge as well as a very wonderful person.  She listened to me and offered advice, suggestions and of course reassurance.  One question was about my numb fingers and dead nails.  She told me she lost a few nails and that to this day she still has tingling/numb fingers.  Of course that made me feel better.  I was starting to think that I was making it up in my head but yet hate to realize that the numbness might never go away.

Afterward, I went home and my sister, Wendy came over.  We all had lunch and then......my Birthday Cake!!  So yummy.  Cody sang Happy Birthday to me so loud.  Last year, he barely sung it and this year he was the loudest of the group.  He helped me blow out 100 candles.  Ha-ha!  And I made a wish that of course I hope comes true.  I opened my cards and presents and we all hung out.

So today was a wonderful day.  Happy Birthday to ME!!!
