Reid’s Birthday
Reid’s Birthday
Today is Reid’s birthday!! Not that he’ll be able to celebrate much. He has a work deadline, which means he’s been working himself to death these past few weeks.
Since I work in the IT world, too, and I know that nothing is ever ready in time for a deadline, I try to be as patient as possible. But I do admit I’m a little tired of doing everything around the house and for the kids. I especially want a break from cutting the grass and cleaning the pool!!
I used to hate his deadlines with a passion. Not so anymore. I find that the age of the kids make all the difference in the world. When the kids were little, it was so very hard for me to not have any help, no breaks. Now, it’s pretty much a piece of cake. The kids pretty much amuse themselves.
Well — Reid was up very late last night and he’s going to sleep in a tiny bit extra this morning. I’m presently trying to keep the kids quiet while he sleeps (it’s impossible, really). I don’t expect they’ll get a chance to say Happy Birthday to him before they’re off to school. I also expect he’ll work late and we won’t even be able to celebrate over dinner. Oh well - Happy Birthday anyway, Reid!
