So I celebrated my birthday on Wednesday, and my husband surprised me (he knows I don’t like surprises) with what else…cake and an unexpected Zoom party. So much fun! Of course, I fussed quite a bit about it for probably 30 minutes prior to the birthday gathering, but in the end I’m glad he planned it. He’s quite sneaky like that.

My cake was chosen by my granddaughter, Teagan – she’s 4. She chose a Moana cake. She really likes Moana. She wants to be Moana for her birthday. her birthday is in August, so she can be Moana when she turns 5. Bless her heart for choosing it.

My son, he’s 12, told me he dislocated his shoulder in his sleep one night. When he tells me things that make no sense, I give him serious side-eye, because I already know what’s coming next. He told me this because he didn’t want to attend jiujitsu that – Wednesday. He was able to play his video games with the same “so called” arm that he claimed to be dislocated. When I explained to him that he was using his arm to play a game on his phone, he insisted that he wasn’t using his arm, jus this hand so that was okay. He needs to pay special attention in Science class so he can know the ins/outs of tendons and nerves and muscles – same tendons, nerves and muscles that control his hands and fingers so he can play his game. He’s funny – he went to jiujitsu anyway. He was okay. His arm didn’t fall off. He ate tacos right after.

My family in Texas got hit with the extreme winter weather. My dad was hunkered down in his home, as was my sister and her family. They came out on the other side without any issues to their homes or health. Pray for those families who lost loved ones, had major damage to their homes, and everyone who is still trying to recover from this.

Don’t know about you, but I’m ready for the weekend. Be safe and see you next week for Moments of the Week.
