Mum had a great birthday this year, it did not start off so. For starters my brother was working all day and I did not get into town til about 8.30pm. She spent all day cooking a huge dinner for all of us. No one had called her at this point. She was a bit upset.
Then came night time. My bro, his wife and I all arrived at about the same time bearing gifts. She had gotten a DVD player from them and I had bought her a cake and one of those 'Happy Birthday' helium balloons tied around my wrist. It took me 7 hours of travel time to get here but I made it. She was happy.
We, the kids, were all starving so totally devoured the food that she had prepared. Seeing how much we enjoyed the dinner must have made her night too. Then there was the cake cutting and officiating of the DVD player. We watched Million Dollar Baby. It was good.
Today we went shopping for a new laptop for her. Dad's gift. Talk about a good birthday!!
It's so funny to see mum with her new laptop. She doesn't know how to use the computer much. But everything that we the kids have, she wants too. It started with the discmans when we were teenagers, then came the digital cameras, and then the cell phones and now the laptop which she doesn't even know how to operate!! It is hilarious I tell ya!! Next thing she'll want is an mp3 player. The reason I know this is because that's next on my list. Surely it will appear on her's too.
All in all, it was a very good day.
