Dolly Parton and I have shared the same birthday for the past 35 years. By the time she was my age she was already a country icon in Nashville and was about to premiere her new movie "9 to 5". She has won Grammies, Emmies, and numerous other awards. She's immortalized with a star on Hollywood's walk of fame.
I will, sadly, never accomplish half of the things she has in her lifetime. However, there is one thing I have done that the great Miss Dolly Parton has not.... I've become a mother. Happy Birthday to Me!
So, here I am. My 35th birthday. I just poured my first glass of wine and I'm waiting for my 4 year old rugrats to get home from pre-school with Hubby. We are going to celebrate! Italian food and ice cream cake, topped with a dose of Dora followed by some Dinosaur books.
This blog is my gift to me as a memoir to my kids. I don't know where it will go, or what it will become, but I do know this: The stories, the feelings, the emotion, and I will all be real.
