Today was my eldest sister's birthday. All my three siblings have their birthdays within two weeks of each other, I think my mother or their father Dick (no honestly that was his name!) must have come into season or something around April/ May for them to all be born around that time. Another reason that shows I have a different father, as I was born in August, but now all of them are over 60. I really can't believe that my brother is now 67 and my two sisters are 66 and 61, we are all old codgers now. I guess it does show that age is but a number.
Tomorrow, which is the 13th is my mother's 93rd and my eldest son's 33rd birthday so an expensive month, plus throw in Julie's sister and her daughter who are both like my family and both of them were born on the 13th too, it's quite a day! It was actually a Friday 13th too when Dwight was born!
Mind you give it to Saturday and mother will be telling everyone, 'I'm nearly 94 you know!' Actually we might not even get to Saturday, probably lunch time Friday if there is anyone about to tell! It's strange how we do the full circle of adding years on when we are younger to get into nightclubs and bars, then knocking them off for many years and still going to nightclubs to look younger, then back to adding them on again and telling everyone under the sun, so people say 'What really, wow you don't look it!'
And it's true she doesn't look it when she spruced up, but not like today when she is still in her nightclothes at 5.30pm! Bad mummy.
Getting out of the village today to buy some decent cards and pressies proved fun, as I think Silver End is now turning into an island what with the floods on the roads, three in one stretch of road.
One more reason to chill out in bed tomorrow morning!
Lots of love Debbie x
About Me
- Me...Debbie Burden... or known as Burders
- I'll be 55 this August... I've had bronchiectasis for ten years plus this year... End stage lung disease for the past year...been on oxygen for three years... and have I got used to it yet?... nah! I am now waiting for the biggie; a double lung and maybe a heart transplant. I love my life weirdly enough, because I have some wonderful family and friends who are with me every step of the way on my adventures, even though I embarrass them on a daily basis with my unorthodox way of looking at life. Not for the faint hearted!
