Happy Birthday!

When my husband and I were in our twenties, celebrating our birthdays meant an endless sleugh of drinking and eating. The different restaurants; the different cakes, cookies, and pies; the many drinks for the guest of honor; that's how I knew it was October. My birthday at the beginning of the month and my husbands at the end makes me exhausted just thinking about it. Our mature thirties has taught us a few things about birthdays:

1. After 25, if your birthday doesn't end in a 5 or a 0 it's not worth having a party.

2. Only 1 cake.

3. Surprises beat presents.

4. Two-three drinks maximum on the day of your birthday.

5. Family and friends might forget, but Facebook will remind everyone in the world.

Today is my husband's birthday, so this post is for him. This post is one of the stops on his birthday scavenger hunt. The boys and I set up clues around the house and his cubicle at work. Each clue has a little surprise with it. This is clue number 9.

We know you are great
You fix, clean, and mow
You are the best date
You even tow.

You have done so
Much for us
So wrapped with a bow
Look in the kids' bus.

Happy Birthday Jeff! You are the zig in my zag; the ag in my bag; the ying to my yang; the rock in my field; the fertilizer to my plant; the mustard to my ketchup. Have the best day!
