A friend invited my husband and I to a retreat at her church. He and I have never done something like this together before and I was very excited. I mentioned it to Jarrod, he said "let's look into it" - and so I did. Natalie got us preregistered and passed along the dates to me, May 2-5. My birthday is on the 5th of May which was just a bonus to me. What a fantastic way to spend my birthday!
When Jarrod got home from work I very excitedly told him all about it! He shared in my excitement as well. "It is May 2nd through the 5th." I told him. At the sudden look of disappointment that clouded his face I quickly added, "It's okay I would love to be there with you on my birthday." And then I beamed!
"We'll miss Elijah's birthday." He said plainly. And that friends, I am sad to say, is the first moment I realized that our son's birthday, which is the day before mine, would also fall on that weekend.
Perhaps this is a small glimpse into the mind of a diva mom... (palm to forehead).
