Today is my mom's birthday. I know it sucks having your birthday right around the holiday season - I have three blood relatives (including mom) and my ex's father who all have their birthdays between December 20th and January 5th. The individuality of the celebration of your birth gets lost because of the rest of the calendar at the time.

I have already taken my mom to dinner this week at the establishment of her choosing - and will likely do it again this weekend. I know I don't say it enough, but I do love you Mom <3!!!
