Happy Birthday Laura

Happy Birthday Laura!!!! Today is Laura's birthday and it's not really going the way I had planned. First of all we are both exhausted this morning. Our cat Ben decided to keep us up almost all night just playing. It's like he found something under the bed and kept playing. We couldn't get him to stop. So we are both exhausted because of that. I have my period and it's sooo freaking heavy. Add the cramps and I am kind of cranky. I had planned on coming home at lunch to surprise Laura at lunch, but had to run a co-worker around all morning (this co-worker doesn't drive) and I am just exhausted.

We are going to "Cheeseburger in Paradise" for dinner tonight and then having Lynilu over for cake and ice cream tonight. To Laura, Jimmy Buffett is a God. I was not at all surprised when she said that is where she wanted to go for dinner tonight. I am excited to give her the gifts I got her. Can't say anything just in case she is reading my blog today.

To honor Laura on her birthday I wanted to share some of the reasons I just love this woman so:
*She cooks all the meals
*She puts up with my ADD moments when I just can't sit still
*She lets me drive the newer car
*In the middle of the night she will put her arm around me and pull me close
*She sits and listens to me complain about my family
*When I mess up big time she doesn't make me feel bad
*90% of the time she lets me pick the restaurants we eat at
*She puts up with the music I like (some are really bad)
*She always puts me first in her life
*When I come in from mowing on hot days she has something cold to drink for me
*When it's really hot she will come out and spray the water hose to cool me down while I am mowing
*She feeds the "strays" when I forget
*She does the grocery shopping
*When I go with her to the grocery store she doesn't get upset when we end up spending $20 more because of stuff I just pick up along the way
*She didn't pressure me to quit smoking even though she HATES the smell. She allowed me to do it on my own
*She's awesome in bed
*After a really bad day she gives me the space I need to regroup
* She puts up with my blogging

Happy Birthday Baby. I love you and can't imagine my life without you.
