Yesterday was a whirl wind of activity. We had a Student Council
meeting afterschool, bought three pairs of basketball high tops and took
MagPie for her birthday dinner at Olive Garden. It's a 45 minute drive
with the crazy traffic even on a Wednesday evening. Luckily for us, the
schools in the county where we attend church was out for fall break, so no activities, we could
celebrate. We waited for 45 minutes and as busy as they were we ate for
over an hour, mostly waiting on more bowls of endless chicken and
gnocchi soup. I about died when we pulled into Krispy Kreme for her
birthday doughnuts for her school party today. The hot sign was on. If I
didn't have to weigh in at Weight Watchers Saturday morning and hadn't
ate three bowls of soup already I would have consumed a dozen right
there. I restrained and left them in the car overnight. Bad mistake, let
me tell you. The car smelled like doughnuts this morning. Maggie has
outgrown her food allergies of white potatoes, mushrooms, peanuts, navy
beans and chocolate, but she still doesn't like to eat cupcakes so she
always takes Krispy Kreme. The kids at school love it. Many of them never
get doughnuts at least not that brand.
Maggie is 11
years old. She is one of the most thoughtful, loving kids you will ever
meet. I often tell her it's not fair she's got it all brains, beauty,
creativity, athleticism, the works. She can do anything she sets her
mind on. She has wanted to be a missionary since she was in the 2 year
old Sunday School class with Mrs. Mary. She plans to be a large animal
veterinarian so that she can travel oversees and help animals and tell
others about Christ. Maggie is the "Mother" to every kid she ever meets
who needs one. Maggie is perfect in every way. Happy birthday, Maggie!
