IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!

My little schoolgirl!

Today is my birthday. At least it's the day that I celebrate as my birthday. Many of you know my little orphan backstory... I was abandoned on the streets of Seoul, South Korea, at the Yongsan Train Station on September 3, 1972. I was estimated to be two days old, so... September 1st was the birthdate I was given. It Could be correct or slightly off, so I guess we'll never know if my numerology charts are accurate or not. Dang.


Well, I'm officially 38, as far as I'm concerned and I really enjoy getting older. I love my birthday and like most people, I've never felt the need to lie about my age. Maybe because I still look 8-10 years younger than I am, but I don't want to brag. Let's face it, it's one of the great advantages of being of Asian descent. That and the ability to pretend you don't speak-y Engrish in difficult situations and then just walk away. It really works. 


Today is also my little Aubrey's first day of fall preschool! She already went for the entire summer, so it's just another day to her, but she will have some new classmates and will also be attending 5 days a week instead of 3 now. I'm so proud of my little turkey! She's a keeper. (Check back in with me in 10 years though.)


Better run. It's almost time to pick her up. Have a great September 1st everyone and if you need an excuse to enjoy a piece of cake today, please, feel free to use me. 

All The Single Mommies! All The Single Mommies! Put Yo Hands Up!

OK, single moms... so we're probably NOT at the club, but here's my shout out to you and your total amazingness. Most mommies in the blogosphere are awesome ladies, but we single mamas deserve some extra lovin from time to time. Check out my latest (and probably last) post for LAMomsBlog. Let me know what you think:

Can This Single Mom Ever Be Normal?

Now, I'm off to pick up the little turkey from preschool! It's gonna be ALL KINDS of crazy in my house for the next hour. She's always insane after school. Overly tired and stimulation overload. Ahhhh... good times. Today, one of her teachers told me that they thought they should get a clipboard just for Aubrey so they could write down all the funny things she says every day. She said there were so many things, that they knew they would forget them. Apple doesn't fall far people. I think I have a class clown on my hands! I'll write more about this later.

Have a great afternoon!
