Birthdays

okay why do I feel the need to write about my birthday? Why do they need to come so fast? Who invented getting older?
I've had many people come up to me and state that my birthday is coming up and what are you going to do? A girl at work who tries so hard went out and bought me a sausage egg MC Muffin as my present and I ate it! So there went my salad and my deer stew I made last night and I just had a yogurt for lunch instead I would have just settle for a Happy Birthday
( maybe not) it felt good that she wanted to get me something. It wasn't her fault that I'm trying to eat different and one of the foods I'm taking out is MC Donald's!
Then I get home from work and my aunt Lois called and she is going out of town for a week and wanted to take me out for dinner! I thought I could handle this and would order something that would fit into my new eating habits! So because I was so hungry I order the full rack of barbecue ribs from the blue max ( This restaurant was written up about there ribs in the paper) You get a salad bar and soup and a pop over and the the ribs came out and all I could do was say! OH MY GOD ! there were enough ribs to feed a small army! I began to eat and found out I over ate again! I brought home more then half the meal! I was so miserable and felt the need to lay down! This is what I'm trying not to do anymore! So I thought if I just put it in my head it was a step down this week and try hard to get back on track!
Now I just talk to a friend named Tammy who babysat my kids for years! She wants to go somewhere to eat and have a drink. Because remember you only turn fifty once! I wanted to yell at her that I know this and I cant stand the thought that I'm going to be half of a hundred! I don't feel it, but my body tells me every day when I get up that I have to suffer with pain . Its just the law of gravity! Well I told we would have to go either Monday or Tuesday because the rest of the week I am busy! She says she will let me know when!
So then I also have to have my dad and sister and brother over for dinner on Thurs, for my birthday and my hubby is taking care of the food! Well guess what we are having? Pizza! its my favorite food! Also figure this out there will be beer! Now lets see I will eat pizza and beer and my sisters will be here! I know darn well I will drink more beer then needed! But with the big family I might not have to worry about the pizza! Then I made plans for Friday to go to the power house for happy hour on Friday to try there free pizza and have more (guess what) Beer!
Then finally I will get to get up early and head for Minneapolis to go to antique sale and stay with my kids and see the little one! And I'm looking very forward to this part of the week! I want so much to see Jamie and Jason and there better half's Don and Tressa and best of all the little Evelyn who doesn't know to even ask Grammy whats it feel to be fifty! she will just give me a cuddle and show me her toys!
hey do you think they put the little ones on earth to make us old people feel good! When she says gramma ,I feel like my world is meant to be! I feel great to be old and that my children have grown and they are starting the new eras of little Rowe's!
Then last night I get a call that there having a good bye party for my sister Jackie and her husband Steve , so now I have to leave early Sunday to get home for that! I just want to have it slow down!
Could we spread the fun around on different weekends! But I guess my worry about food and beer will have to start up again on Monday! I will be back to work and get my life back on tract and start over again! And all this feeling crappy about turning fifty will be over and I can start stressing out over fifty one next year!
Does anyone out there know if the government turn the clocks up to full speed! I cant slow down and this is the worst part of getting older! When you are young you cant wait to grow up and when you get there all you think is how fast your life is passing you by!
Stop and smell the roses is a very true saying! Rush by and you wake up one day wishing you could go back!
