What a great day! I really am the Princess!
* I got a "Happy Birthday To You!" and "Mommy's Birthday!" right off the bat from Carter! Talk about a great start!
* I got to have yummy Casey's breakfast pizza, a liberty I rarely have time for.
* I got birthday emails from my family and friends and a couple texts wishing me a great bday.
* At school, my door and desk were decorated by my associate, who also made cupcakes! My co-teacher and wall-neighbor played The Birthday Song (it's great!) just for me! I got cards and well-wishes from my collegues, and my favorite freshmen and my adored 8th graders made me cards. A couple even sang!
* I got the neatest picture frame from my beloved family - it's electronic, and functions kinda like a screen-saver with my favorite pictures! How perfect?!
* Andy and Rory hosted Survivor: The Birthday Edition. Rory made a delicious dinner, complete with an Oreo cake (oh my goooodness - so good!!) AND Survivor was awesome!
I couldn't have asked for a better day! I know my concept of the "Birthday Princess" sometimes comes off as self-centered (I know - shocked, right!?!), but it was a Princess Day - I was loved by everyone I care about. No royalty, birthday or not, could top that!!
My desk and treats! I also got cards from my kids: "Happy 22nd birthday!" "Happy Bday, you could pass for 19!" and "You ROCK, Mrs. Chalupa" were some of the high lights!!
