Up with a suddenly-sick Roo and remembering when she was small. Heck, I even put on an Disney film (I think it's Disney - the one with the cows that save their farm?) and curled her up on the sofa, just like when she was an eence. Fed her some ibuprofen and some ice cream, small sips of lime soda (okay, I was out of ginger ale) and patted her hair until she drowsed. She looks so little when she sleeps.
Today was a great day. Browsed a local 'old nice stuff' shop, had a lovely lunch with a friend, played with the kids outside. It was a great way to finish up a year
In the morning, I turn forty-one. I can't wait.
Well, not so much the age, because that doesn't seem to matter so much now that it's not really a landmark year, but for all the great stuff that I think - no, I'm sure - is going to happen over the next year.
I'm actually pretty excited. Now, if I could just get my daughter not-sick and off the couch....

I hope things have improved and that you are able to enjoy your birthday.
And, happy birthday to you!
Belatedly happy birthday, Jess!
41? You're young and have lots of good stuff ahead.
Among my favourite memories of being little is of being sick at home, wrapped in mother love. I am sure that you're making good memories for you little girl.
