Wordless Wednesday: My Birthday / Mi Cumpleano
by Ms. Latina ~ December 2nd, 2009. Filed under: Wordless Wednesday.Birthdays have changed for me as I’ve gotten older. A few years back I would have gone out with a group of friends, stayed out all night and come back home with barely enough time to change and get to work. Do you remember those days? It seems like only yesterday to me!
My latest birthday was different. I woke up, examined my grays, woke up the boys, examined my grays, got us dressed and did I forget to mention, examined my grays? I definitely felt older that morning, reminiscing and missing those earlier years. Yet as the day wore on, surrounded by all the people that make my life what it is today, I realized I didn’t miss those days as much as I had previously thought and I wouldn’t change my life as it is right now either!
What cinched it?
Three of my favorite men surprising me with a birthday song and these home baked cupcakes last night! Being the original fellows that they are, they wrote “Happy Berfday!” on the first set of cupcakes.
The cupcakes below say “We love you”
They may have been lopsided and the singing may have been off key but to me it felt like a gourmet meal presented on a silver platter in the middle of Radio City Music Hall.
Nope, I wouldn’t change my life at all!
Happy WW!

I knew I liked you for some reason! I always did get along with people who have November “berfdays!”
Happy Birthday!

OMGosh what a wonderful Berday! I love it, you are one lucky lady
December 2nd, 2009 at 10:20 am
You are a very lucky lady!!! That’s about the cutest thing you can get for your birthday…
“Happy berfday” is just too good of a phrase to be used only once… I recommend you find ways to employ again!!!
Espero que hayas tenido un muy feliz cumpleaños!

I feel the same way, though those endless night of parting feel like yesterday, I look at my daily routine and waking up to my son who every morning lays on my back and hugs the hell out of me and realize that heading into my mid 30′s is great. To have your seven year old child say they won’t be able to go to school because they have to be home to celebrate your birthday is Priceless. Happy Birthday and WEPA

December 2nd, 2009 at 11:38 am

Sounds like a perfect berfday. I wouldn’t go back to the old days for all the treasure in the world.

It’s amazing how we tend to change with age and motherhood. Like you, I find that the little things make me happy. I don’t need a big, extravagant birthday party. I’m perfectly happy with a homemade birthday card from my kids, a homemade meal from my husband and the love of my family.
