Birthday Months


Do you love your birthday month? Is it your favorite month of the year? I think each month should absolutely be adored by all the birthday recipients it contains. I know I love each and every day of September as they countdown the days to my own special day.


As a child I didn't think it was at all fair that I had to wait all the way to the end of the month for presents and cake. I don't think it is at all a coincidence that I should marry a man whose birthday is the very first day of his month. The end of one month, boom you are eating cake the next day!


One good thing about having a birthday at the end of the month, I receive cards in the mail all month long. My husband's wishes are always late!


My husband asked me the other day, "What volume of Columbo do you have?" Hmmmm, I now have 28 more days to think about the enjoyment I will have at watching my favorite detective solve the crime.


And 28 more days to drop hints about other things I have been longing to have.


I love that on my birthday my husband will take the initiative to let Charlie in and out ALL day long. All the other days of September there is an oldest child showdown as to who can wait the longest before the other one gives in yet again to see to Charlie's needs.


I love also that my children can be expected behind their knocks on the door, eager to embrace me and tell me I am their favorite Mom. My reply, of course, is that I am their ONLY mom! Their reply, of course, is "And you're the BEST one there is!"


And so today I wish you a Happy September as this is the month I wait all year for, plus 28 days!

  4. It sounds like you have that excited anticipation all month long, Elizabeth. I had to laugh at what your children say to you. I have one girl and one boy also and I will say to them, "you are my favorite son" or "you are my favorite daughter", which always brings the reply of "I am your ONLY son {or daughter}!".

  13. Gosh, Birthday Month! I am thrilled for you! I love that your family honors you all month long! Yay!
    This year was my worst birthday ever...never happened to me before. So I decided I didn't have one, and I don't have to be a year older! So next year, I will be 53 again! : )
    Doesn't that sound fair???

    I don't often comment, but I come by and see all your amazing creations and totally enjoy your energy!
    Happy Birthday month!
    Hugs,
    Terri

  15. HA! I only have to wait mid-way through September -- well mid-way plus 2 days (17th). My sweet grandson has to wait for the very last day. Happy birthday from one Sept. babe to another!

  16. September seems like a fabulous month for a birthday. My grandfather's birthday was in September, and when I was a child I didn't know anyone else with a September special day. I feel a bit cheated with mine. It's in June, and always falls right near Father's day. Oh well, happy birthday month, E!

  25. I love that little piggy. How cute is that? Isn't it nice to look forward to that special day? I bet you are counting down!

  26. I, too am a September birthday girl. I'll be 62 on the 13th! And, except for living in hurricane prone Houston which is notorious for 'erupting' in August & September (Hurricane Ike had the NERVE to hit at EXACTLY midnight on Sept. 13, 2008 & leave us without power for 29 DAYS) I love September. It's a month of promises for the Autumn to arrive, & for hints of the upcoming holiday season. Ahhhh! Happy September birthday to YOU! And thank you so much for the lovely ongoing gift of your wonderful blog!

  28. It looks like we share the same birthday! :) (Wish I shared your talent for crafting vintage pretties.) Maybe your husband could do what mine does, he celebrates my birthday WEEK! That way I don't have so long to wait and I'm treated to little surprises for 7 days! :)
