Setting Intentions
March 2023 Slice of Life challenge
It's a birthday filled month in our house. Today is my oldests sweet 16. Yesterday, I took down the decorations from last week's birthday celebration and redecorated. Blue streamers and balloons replace the pink ones and the number 3 balloon has been removed and now a 6 sits in its former place. Each year I feel a tinge of guilt like I am cheating because even though my oldest was born first she always gets the birthday festivities second.
The same as for her sister, per our tradition, she starts each birthday morning greeted with decorations and fresh baked cinnamon rolls ready for her to devour. This year it falls on a Sunday so she can enjoy a relaxed day not having to rush off to her usual weekday activities. We will have a family dinner this evening at her restaurant of choice, the Olive Garden. She will open presents, we will sing joyously as she blows out the 16 candles stuck in her favorite Portillos chocolate cake. Albeit she is 16 but there will not be a brand new car waiting in our driveway with a huge red bow on it. That being said a band new car is in the works for me. Once my new car arrives she will get to use my old, very loved car with permission. She is still excited at the prospect of freedom. I am too. She will take her driving test on Tuesday when the DMV is open for business. Happy 16th Birthday C!

Sounds like you have a routine that works well for everyone. Being efficient doesn't count as cheating in my book. Happy Day to the teen of honor!
