The morning started off great with Cody giving me a C.O. My facebook friends know the story behind this gift. For those of you who don't, Cody has wanted to get me an electric can opener (C.O.) for my birthday for awhile now and not because I need one. Cody, in all his autistic glory, has WANTED me to want one.
When I arrived at the school, Mrs. B. had these sitting on my table, along with a cute card...
She and the children sang the birthday song to me and, when the Kindergarten students wanted to know my age, I responded, "I'm a grandma, so how old do you think I am?" One little girl shouted "18!", which was much kinder than Cody telling me I was almost 100.
After work, my husband treated me to lunch at Olive Garden and, when we got home, Casey had been at our house and left a card and this gift on the kitchen counter...
A 50 dollar iTunes card for my new iPhone! Hellzzyeah! :) |
AND...
Throughout the entire day (week/month/?), I had NO idea THIS was going to happen...
I had to erase the address and phone number. Obviously. :) |
You will want to stay tuned for Turning 50 Parts 2 and 3. I promise it gets even better!
