I Am Pooped

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you! Shout loud, “I am lucky to be what I am! Thank goodness I’m not just a clam or a ham OR a dusty old jar of sour gooseberry jam! I am what I am! That’s a great thing to be! If I say so myself, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!” -Dr. Seuss

Today has been a Great Day for turning The Big Four-Oh! We woke up this morning, got dressed, and hit the road for some breakfast at Village Inn. Fiona ordered scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, and toast with apple juice. I ordered the ultimate skillet and pancakes with coffee.

Fiona’s nails are BeAuTiFuL! We did them last night. I told the girls we could do fingers and toes since it was a special occasion. They were excited. Can you tell? After breakfast we swung by the house to pick up Kinsley (she was having issues earlier) and off we went to Fiona’s school.

Fiona’s kindergarten teacher invited me to come and read a Dr. Seuss book to the class. She told me I could bring two. Fiona and I chose I Had Trouble In Getting To Solla Sollew and Happy Birthday To You. When Fiona’s class found out it was my birthday too they all sang happy birthday to me. I think they Loved the story because it’s not one most kids get to hear all that often.

If we didn’t have birthdays, you wouldn’t be you. If you’d never been born, well then what would you do? If you’d never been born, well then what would you be? You might be a fish! Or a toad in a tree! You might be a doorknob! Or three baked potatoes! You might be a bag full of hard green tomatoes. Or worse than all that…Why, you might be a WASN’T! A Wasn’t has no fun at all. No, he doesn’t. A wasn’t just isn’t. He just isn’t present. But you…You ARE YOU! And, now isn’t that pleasant! -Dr. Seuss
