Poor Jessie Jane!!! We were scheduled to have her 1st birthday party this Sunday afternoon. However, her 2 big brothers have come down with the dreaded Chicken Pox. So much for that!!! We will try again next weekend and combine her party with her big brother's, that'd be Hoss. Hoss and I have the same birthday albeit he would be considerably younger! I also know 2 other people who have the same birthday. Both happen to be male and probably not so concerned about their big day as I am this year. I'm just ready for it to get here and get gone!!!
One great thing about this day though, is that I have a very dear friend whose birthday is the day before. It just so happens that she and I were born about 12 hours apart. She made the comment once that our mothers were in pain at the same time. That's probably true, but my mother just kept playing dominos in between contractions. She was only 20 and very inexperienced in these things. I think by the #5 was born she handled it all a little differently, but she was only 28 then, so maybe not!!
Anyway, this friend of mine lives only 45 minutes from here and I never get to see her. She came along at a time in my life when I really needed a friend to help me step out of my zone. She was already married to a great guy when we met and I've always thought the world of them both. Things change and people move away and have kids and all that stuff. However, I always know I have a very special friend who is closer in age to me than anyone else I will probably ever know.
OK, enough of that cause I'm about to start crying. I don't like to cry!!!
