Asha, nice to hear you celebrated the 14th birthday with family and friends, although kids say they don't want a fuss they still enjoy being made the centre of attention.

You are the Queen of going with the flow. I have learned so much from you.

Sue.

Kids always like celebrating their birthday, as Sue said they like being the center of attention. Good for you going with the flow. It's a much smother ride.

oh asha having a birthday to celibrate is always fun especially a 14 years birthday wow i am so glad to hear that life is on the right track and you are on an even keel all the best to you asha :forgive_me?: and may you have plenty of a good day and an even keel very good blog and it was nice to hear how your family is getting on

I remember when the kids got to the point where they were taller than I am. I'm the shortest one in the family at 5' 2". The boys used to think it was funny to put an arm up on my head and lean on me. Monsters!

Family is great and had I to do it all over again, I would have stayed home while they were younger. Now that they are almost grown up, I'm happy I have a job to go to. It would probably be easier for me if I had a mindset where I could stay home, and sometimes I think about it, but for right now, I need the 5-6 hours I spend 5 days a week outside of my own 4 walls.

Families and, especially, children are some of the greatest things Heaven can give us. Enjoy yours!
