It's my girlie's birthday today. She's 14.

At 1:40 p.m. on this day in 1996, I became a mama.

Now there's a little slice of awesomeness for you.

Happy birthday, sweet girl. I love you.

p.s. I'm sorry I said that one skirt and that shirt weren't your best look the other day. Fourteen years and you'd think I wouldn't put my foot so squarely into my mouth, but guess what? I still occasionally do.

I love seeing you become.

    Happy Birthday, Aidan! Since I have the pleasure of knowing you thru your mother’s eyes, I know that you are a fabulous person. Thanks for letting me share some of your life. I must be an internet auntie, haha.

    Happy day for everyone to shower you with love, and affection and a amazing GIFTS Aidan…

    I had to LOL at the foot in mouth comment. I am still trying to thaw from the icy glares I got after suggesting my own bundle of teen joy might want to relax the eye makeup, that reminded me of a Micheal Jackson’s thriller, just a bit… Ekkkkk the experimental years!!!

    Happy Birthday, Aidan 🙂 And happy remembering-becoming-a-mother day, Cathy. My little girl’s birthdays always make me emotional — I get misty ordering her birthday cake.

    Sigh…no fair. She needs to go back to being 8 again. An 8 year old writing our names on the front steps in chalk. Please? Seeing her morph into YOU is making me feel really, really old.
