When Life Gives you Lemons...

Today I was nominated for a "When Life Gives You Lemons" award by the most wonderful woman that I don't know (hee hee). I don't feel very deserving of any award right now, but I appreciate that Beth thought of me. She always knows how to make me smile -- just when I need it.

Today is my birthday. And while I LOVE my birthday and usually whoop it up, this year is kind of different. Ron is in Kentucky, so we had to do gifts on Sunday. We were supposed to go out for lunch after church, but poor Jacob was sick, so we decided to postpone it until this weekend. A wonderful family from church invited us over for dinner tonight so that I didn't have to cook on my birthday (how sweet!!) But, I had to call and cancel today because Jacob is still really sick.

So, last night, I decided that I'd make do with what we had. I decided to make chicken for dinner in the crocpot. It's pretty bland so that Jacob can eat some if he's up for it, but it will still be yummy. I'll make some rice for Clarissa and some lima beans for me, and we'll still have a decent little dinner at home. At the urging of the kids, I made a cake yesterday, and the kids had our neighbor write on it, so it now says "Happy Birthday, Mom." Even though it's nothing like we planned, it is still a good birthday. It would be GREAT if my little man felt better. I don't like it when my kids are sick. :(

And now I'm supposed to:
