Another Year Older...Another Year What?

Well guys,
Tomorrow is my birthday. 25th birthday to be exact. I don't feel 25. Don't look 25 either...and I have to admit that's some consolation. I could easily pass for a college get...would DEFINATLY get carded if I ever decided to darken the door of a club...(never have), and really...look exactly the same as I did in my senior year of high school except I am (oddly enough) a few pounds a two dress sizes smaller. Go figure. I thought having kids usually had the opposite effect. However since I'm aware that nearly half of the female population would probably kill to be able to make that statement I am in no way about to complain about it! Anyway, I have absolutely no birthday plans. Well, other than taking my munchkins trick-or-treating. Our town and surrounding areas always "celebrate" Halloween on Sat. if it falls on a Sunday. Therefore I will be escorting around town a 3 year old "Clifford the Big Red Dog" and a one year old fat little "Flower". The thing that I'm most upset about, is the fact that my husband has to work all weekend. He just changed shifts at work and before the change he would have been off for my birthday and Halloween. Also, he was supposed to have been off for Christmas this year. Instead this will be his 5th year in a row working over the holidays. He hasn't been home Christmas since we've been together. But that's another story. I'm not sure what time he will get off tomorrow night. Usually it's 6:00, but I'm sure he'll have to take part in the "Halloween Detail" which means he'll probably have to stay over until 9pm or so. There go our dinner plans. Luckily, I've made plans to meet up with the wife and rugrats of another officer on his shift to go trick-or-treating so I don't have to go by myself.
