My youngest daughter is going to be a stunt woman, a truck and a punk when she grows up. She shouts and makes me laugh and I couldn’t imagine a peaceful life without her. Happy birthday Miss Zen

I loved it and my sister hated it. Today would have been my Dad’s 86th birthday. Love you Dad.

My Big Baby
Posted: May 23, 2012 Filed under: Birthdays, LOVE, Parenting, Self improvement, Theme Songs, Thought For the Day | Tags: 23rd May birthdays, Absolutely Fabulous, Edina, Minnie Riperton, Saffy Leave a commentMy biggest baby turns 15 today. Now we are the same age. Well, the same mental age. Those of you who know me well will say she is more mature than me. And the shrink I go to said that there’s a touch of Edina and Saffy about our relationship. My big baby changed my life, I love her more than words. I would run in front of a speeding train for her. I can’t live without her. I used to sing her this song when she was little (minus the making love reference of course).
Happy Birthday Luscious girl. Thank God you are my daughter. I won the mothering lottery when I had you.
