I have been craving my venti non-fat Chai from Starbucks since yesterday.  I moaned and groaned about wanting my tea all day yesterday and today.  So I stopped at our local Starbucks on my way home to visit my family and low and behold, manning the drive thru window was someone who wasn’t under the age of 23.  In fact, this man hadn’t seen 23 in probably about 45 years.   I never thought I would EVER see anyone other than a very young person working there.  He must have been new because he was asking a lot of questions and his apron wasn’t pristine.   It’s funny how you don’t realize you have certain expectations about places until it’s different.

Now I’m craving a huge Denver omelet from Christine’s, have been since about 4 am this morning.   Not sure how I’ll manage to take care of that craving (and no I’m not pregnant - it’s from not eating but about once a day with all the stuff with Littlest).  

Six months ago today Littlest and Sweet Baby Boy were born.   Apparently Littlest wanted to celebrate her birthday in the place where she came in the world!  She is still in the hospital, but I think she is doing better.   She actually was smiling and talking today.   This afternoon and evening she had horrible coughing fits - it was awful.  They still have her on a bit of oxygen, but managed to be off of it for a few hours during the day.  I suspect she will be there until Saturday.  

Littlest came into the world at 1:51 pm six months ago today and I came into the world at 11:45ish p.m. 43 years ago today. 

Yup, today was my birthday.  It was about as good of a day as Mother’s Day was.  Because I’m staying the night at the hospital with Littlest, Daddy got me a GIANT chocolate cake and a huge hanging fuscia plant for my birthday and gave it to me yesterday.  Nana made a huge dinner for me that I finally got to taste about 10:30 tonight (yummy).
