Clayton has had a setback and my heart breaks for him. On Friday I turned fifty-five. I wish I could say it was an awesome day but my husband was ill, and everything that could go wrong did. We ended up going to bed at 8:30. On Saturday we all got together for dinner and some cake. I am excited for the Fraterfest readathon and this week you can sign up for the HoHoHoRAT!! Elbow hugs!

Oh, Kimberly, I am so sorry to hear about the health problems your family is dealing with. I certainly pray that things will settle down. Happy Belated Birthday and I sure hope the rest of your birthday week goes better.

Happy belated birthday, though I’m sorry it wasn’t the best day. And thinking of Clayton!
Vidya

I’m sorry things did not go better. AT least you were able to get to sleep early and rest up? I hope this week goes smoothly.

Ah – I’m so very sorry that your birthday hit the buffers with your husband’s illness and Clayton still suffering. It’s particularly wrenching when grandchildren are poorly. I have a dear friend who insists on celebrating her birthday for a whole month, with a series of little treats and outings – which I think is a great idea:). I hope that all those lovely, scary October reads go some way to helping rescue your birthday month.

So sorry about your grandson. I hope he feels much better soon. I’m looking forward to your review of The Book of Magic, I’ve been wanting to read it.

Poor Clayton! Hopefully you’ll find answers for the tummy troubles soon. I know it must be so frustrating and heartbreaking for you all. Happy birthday to you! I’m sorry to hear it was one of those days but I highly recommend celebrating for at least a month to balance those kinds of things out. Have a wonderful week!
