Today is my son's golden birthday. Great dad that I am, was at work all day and had an important meeting all night. If all goes well he'll have a party on Saturday. Big if. A family member has surgery scheduled for next week but may have to have it sooner. So we'll keep our eyes crossed and hope that doesn't happen.
My oldest son just had a birthday a week ago so it's been busy here.
Now that school's started can fundraising be far behind? The 3-1/2 year old daughter of a coworker started school this year. They call it pre3. She's not even four and she's selling magazines, food and giftwrap for the school's operating expenses and class projects. My child just came home Tuesday with magazine order forms. Now, how is he going to compete against a cute 3-1/2 year old girl selling magazines?

The weather for the birthday was perfect but, as it turned out, we did have to run a family member to the emergency room, just not the same person scheduled for surgery this week. My cute niece, who just turned five, accidently ran into the corner of the wall and cut her ear open. She was able to leave the party, get one stitch, and make it back before the party was over. Talk about stealing the thunder from the birthday boy! That brave little girl sure was the center of attention when she got back.
