A milestone has been reached: I've been around 57 years and nothing has killed me yet! There are rewards for longevity.
The day began with #5 child texting me that she was bringing me a treat for breakfast (my favorite donut.) All day I have received Facebook notifications and text messages with birthday greetings. My Purdue Boilermakers played good basketball and beat arch rival IU on the road. Two more kids baked cupcakes, then one presented me with some great finds from the thrift store--wonderful CDs to listen to while commuting to classes.
Just returned from dinner with several of my kids and my husband--got one of my favorites, red curry, at an Asian fusion restaurant nearby. I am so blessed with my big family!
I got a little work done, grading math tests and such. Overall, a most satisfactory way to start another year of life.
