Happy Birthday Marilyn!

Happy Birthday Marilyn! This is Marilyn! She is very special to us! She turned 58 yesterday. We enjoyed celebrating her birthday with her. She has watched my children for 11 yrs. 1 day a month for free as a blessing to let us go and have dinner out. What a wonderful break! She has always made herself available and has been a wonderful friend! She has never married or had children of her own, once apon a time she was even a NUN! She has also been a teacher and now since retired will substitute teaching...(She had always been the one to take care of her mother, she is the older of 7) and after she died(her mom) ( 2 yrs ago) she wanted to get into foster care! She loves children! She is very good with them too! My kids have always enjoyed the fun! She would take them to the park and wear them out there, bike rides, rec center etc! Now God has blessed her with Simon. She is now a foster mom and a pretty darn good one too! She is such a blessing to all! She never rests! This woman is amazing. She is always thinking ahead...many trips of taking him to several sports activities, library,many games etc etc! Even planning a Disney trip later this year!!!!

Remember she is the one that we went to GREAT WOLF LODGE with (see below) so on this special day I want to thank you Marilyn! You are such a BLESSING to us all! love ya!

You know Marilyn was in line next to me at the Dollar Tree the other day. I couldn't figure out where I knew her from. Once I got in my car I realized - From your blog!!
Happy Birthday Marilyn!
