Murnice turned 8. And I am so so so thankful that she looks 5. (Mmmmm, so pleased with that outcome.) Mainly because I couldn't handle having a big kid - because I just don't feel old enough to be parenting a real kid. And 8 is on the cusp of pubes and rosebud nips. And I feel like I just went through puberty. Because in my head I'm still 14. (I guess if I were 14, I would be going through puberty now.)
Murnice's Birthday Wish List
1) skirts with shorts in them
2) a book about "the ship that sank"
3) a jump rope with an actual rope
4) Playmobiles
Murnice's Birthday Activities
1) eat chips
2) drink pop
3) watch tv
Mission accomplished. Bag of Doritos finished - between Ed and herself. Hours of tv watched. Lots and lots of pop downed. Chinese for dinner. And diarrhea for dessert.
Can I just say, it was a great day for me. I didn't have to cook a bloody thing. I didn't have to entertain or teach a bloody thing. I sat on my butt all day. And only got up to refill sodypop glasses.
Take Aways
1) I'm too tired to care about a "take away". Make your own up.
It's good to have a day like that.
