Kevin and I have such interesting jobs. Notice I did not say careers? He is an engineer on a ship gone for 28 days and I work from home in a virtual office setting. It works because he can make the money that he wants and I get to stay home with KJ and Lili since they are still so small and still make money.
What I don't like is the fact that because of his job he misses a lot of special days like birthdays and holidays and family events and events that I do.
So what we do is celebrate early before he goes back on the ship. We are usually early opening gifts, baking turkey and barbequeing in the summer. But it works for now at least.
This year we added his and my birthday to the list since he will be on the ship officially today. we did the basic stuff you know bought a cake, a card, let KJ and Lili make him a card and me one and exchanged it. He took the cards and pictures with him. I get to keep the cake. Oh how fun is that? I'll no doubt take it to my dad's so the other grandchildren can eat on it.
I took a picture of it just to have as a keepsake. Yes a couple slices have already been enjoyed but I want it to sit here so I can just remind me that I was special enough to buy a cake for this year.

On my birthday I am going to snatch up my sister in law who shares my birthday and go out to lunch my treat this year since she treated me last year. I have no idea where we will go but it should be fun!
Does it sound like I enjoy my birthday? Well really what it is about is loving me and realising that no matter where I go,..there I am. I had better get to know her and love her and care about her as no one else can.
So I have a week give or take a few days to just really show me what I think of me. How cool is that?
I'll think of ways to do that like a spa day or getting my nails done or buying myself a new outfit.
How about a coupon that says "Sleep In All Day?"
That really sounds like the best one of all right?
Ah poor Kevin, he will be working on his birthday so I will celebrate twice as hard for both of us. Teeh hee!
Til Next Time
