Happy Birthday to ME!! 40 isn't so bad when your LOVED!!

I woke up early because my kids brought me in a gift. It was a small bag with a really pretty neclace and earrings set and a card. They kept saying " open the card mom" so I did and out fell this pamphlet that said "DYSON" on it. It took me a minuet to figure out why that word was so familliar. Well I squealed and they dragged in this box...it was. MY CHILDREN had purchased me a Dyson vacuum cleaner! Not Marty, Sage, Amber and Lacey. They cost over $400.00. I know because I have talked myself out of buying one over and over because they are TOO EXPENSIVE. lol Well needless to say I cried and I vacuumed all morning. lol
My Mom got me this breadmaker before she left and so I made sure I made a loaf of bread to thank my kids. They love homemade bread and I LOVE my breadmaker...thanks MOM!! Next to my breadmaker in the picture is a Vita-mix that belongs to Kim Matthews, Amanda's mom. Kim is home now so I have to give it back and I use it everyday so Marty ordered me one for my birthday!! : ) I am so spoiled.
My daycare kids got me flowers and a candle and carrot cake!!

Tami gave us this $25 to go out to dinner. I got lots of phone calls and it was so cool. Melissa's family called and sang happy birthday to me. Then she asked if sh could bring me lunch. Well at noon there was a knock on the door and this is what I found...
It was all my friends. The kidnapped me and we walked to Melissa's house for a pot luck lunch..SO GOOD!!

Then I got to open presents. It was cool because Melissa made it a food storage theme. I felt great. I have a hard time with too much attention, it makes me really uncomfortable but this time I think I really needed it.

Thanks everyone for making the big 40 the best memory ever!!!

I'm so sad I missed the party! I got the invite but when it is time for lunch during the day not much else crosses my mind. I am 100% jealous of your vacuum. I have wanted a dyson since the first commercial I saw a long time ago. I LOVE to vacuum and nothing is worse then a vacuum that looses suction! You no longer have that problem. Jealousy
