Gremlin turns 5!

Five years ago, today, at 6:20-ish in the morn­ing, I shot my plug across the Labor-and-Delivery room hit­ting a poor lit­tle intern in the face. By 6:31, I was shoot­ing Grem­lin at her too. By 6:45 my doc­tor came to deliver my son….uh…a lit­tle late, doc!

(Yet, he still got paid!! I’m in the wrong business.)

Grem­lin! Dude! You’re 5!! Finally! You’ve been wait­ing “for­ever”, huh?!

It would be so easy for me to wax on and on about how you were my pre­cious lit­tle boy that has grown up and “where has the time gone”…but why do it. You’re here and I’m blessed and you drive me crazy, and HUH? What? You like dri­ving me crazy? Well, you’re doing a good job, kiddo! So let’s quit yap­pin’ and go have fun!

(His b-day party’s not till Sat­ur­day, but I’m a firm believer in drag­ging out b-day’s as long as pos­si­ble! So we’re off to play! BYE!)

   Happy birth­day adorable adorable Grem­lin! Sing to him, JenGi, sing for me pleeeeeease?

   You’re so dang funny, even a birth­day post has me smil­ing like a fool. I see Happy BDay in the reader and think “awww, it’s her baby boy’s birth­day” and first thing I read is “I shot my plug.….” Such a hill­billy momma. Psh!

   Have.a.great.great.great.day!
