Birthdays Are Exhausting

Last Friday we celebrated a birthday...

good food...

a great cake...

a little visiting...

and 

hardly any sibling squabbling!

Mom turned 83!

She was well behaved

(no dancing on the tables),

we didn't keep her out too late,

and she didn't over-indulge

on cake or anything!!

So why am I dropping her off at the hospital

on Monday??

I think she over-indulged on excitement 

A couple days of rest, saline, and anti-biotics

in her blood and she's good as new

(well, as an 83 year old)

So, Happy Birthday Again Mom!

Hope you can slow down, relax,

and enjoy many more years!

p.s. "drink your water!"

Love,

Lisa
