About Lipstick Cover-Up

This blog is about one woman facing each day - making it happen... surviving... putting up with... overcoming challenges... laughing or crying... and sharing her inner beauty - all while wearing Apricot Beige #7 or Frosted Rose.

Always remember...

"When you are a daughter, mother, sister or girlfriend--you are proof positive that daily surviving can be a beautiful thing."

Happy Birthday Green Bean

Today is my son's birthday, he's 7 years old. I love him oh so very much and want him to know it!

We had his party on Saturday, so much fun, of course the first 3 children to arrive at the place hadn't RSVP'd but this place was so great, they just added the necessary items and it went off without a hitch. He chose to have Japanese food for dinner, he wanted a friend of his to come so we did it on Saturday so he could. The hibachi was fun, we've done this a lot with our kids but the little boy that came with us hadn't, WHAT FUN we had. The chef did some extra fun stuff for the kids too. We enjoyed some sushi as well, which I'm so happy the kids like.

7 years ago today at about 7:30 in the morning, they took little Green Bean from my tummy, this was a planned c-section after my first difficult delivery with my oldest daughter. He was 3 weeks early, 9 lbs. 13 oz, and 21 and half inches long. He had dark hair, which he'd soon lose that would come in blond...beautiful blue eyes and long fingers and toes. He squeaked like a bird, a pteradactyl to be exact, and he was such a noisy eater with this loud strider noise. He had a "floppy" esphogus, high bilirubin, and didn't hold his temperature well. It was several weeks before we found his heart problem but the docs were great and fixed him and his heart well. Then he started to eat normally, didn't turn blue anymore and the strider squeak was gone, we then had such a happy little boy.

He made us laugh with his crooked grin and dimples and still does today. He's the class clown, very bright, loves his baseball and football, and having fun. His cousin is his best friend, he can be a mamma's boy, and momma love's it!

GB, you bring us such joy and happiness. I know each day I see you and your sister's faces how very blessed I am...even when you shove stuff under the bed and misbehave and don't listen very well sometimes...I never forget how blessed we are to have you.

Happy Birthday little man!

Love,
Momma

    i know that you enjoy every day with each of your children

    your experience has given you what most people take for granted

    the ability to watch your children grow up

    in one way, it may be a gift that underlines how special every day is

    Holy crap on a stick!

    Happy Birthday, Green Bean! May you always have your cuteness factor to get you out of trouble at every turn! May you be able to finagle your way into good situations. May you always be surrounded by the absolute love of your family!

    Love from your Auntie Amy!
