Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me...

Tomorrow I am running a 5K sponsored by a college fraternity to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. Tim seems concerned that being surrounded by a bunch of cute college guys will make me decide that being a homeschooling mom of 5 is not my cup of tea any more and run off.

Hah!

1. I really like my life, I am fulfilled, loved, and busy. I have many freedoms and responsibilities and am grateful for both.

2. No dumb frat jock could tempt me away from my husband. He is wonderful and I am so grateful for his love and friendship.

3. I AM 37 today. I can't compete against anorexic, silicone-enhanced 19 year old girls with the money and lack of modesty to buy skin tight clothes and the time to do their hair and makeup just so, and I don't WANT to. I have earned these wrinkles, stretch marks (small though they are), bad feet, and the nursed-out bosum.
