I ask Mom every year what time it was. 6:30am is the reply. Labor started around 10pm the night before. I guess I always celebrate my birthday by sleeping. Sara woke us up at 6:20am so I could appreciate my birth moment.
I work today and go to my Mom’s group today. We have nice evening plans, but I took an early birthday yesterday on my afternoon off. When we first set up Sara’s schedule, Tuesday afternoon has traditionally been time for me to do errands, tasks, projects without Sara around. I remember thinking, “I could even see a movie!” Yet, I never have used the time that way. I decided to make it me time. I had to teach a class during lunch at work so my day started a little later than expected. Wayne kindly agreed to pick up Sara from daycare.
