“I am not as important as I used to be”
This was yesterday’s revelation during a lunch conversation. It is not a bad thing and it is not self pity.
The reason I write this post is because today is my birthday and I have no real plans. Pre-mommy me would have strongly requested all the bells and whistles; birthday cake, streamers, spankin’ new outfit, fancy dinner and a night out with friends. The celebrations would have started July 1 and lasted the entire month. (What a piece of work this Pre-mommy Callie was.)
The truth is, since I have had Jack, I have become a lot less self involved. So really, the demotion is a good thing.
As cheesy as it sounds, mommy Callie just wants a day with her boys. And maybe a gift or two π That would be perfection.
With love from Detroit,
Callie





Happy B-day Callie! Love, Kevin & Linsday
Happy Birthday!!! You are as important to me!!! Love you!
Sweetie, hope to deliver on your dream birthday request this year! Love you, Ryan
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Love you so much and because I love you so much I will go to Crumbs today and eat 3 giant cupcakes in honor of your birthday. No really I don’t mind.
Happy day* ~ loved your post, it’s so true. I hope you have the happiest of days chillin’ with your boys. Happy, happy birthday. Miss you dearly!
Cheers friend,
Frankie
Hey Cal,
We love you! Happy birthday!! I think mommy-Callie is way cooler than pre-mommy Callie. Have fun today and enjoy time with “your boys”. I’ve no doubt they have some gifts lined up for you.
From myself, Eve and Joanna —-HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT CALLIE!
Callie,
Happy Birthday! I think a day at home with the family is the perfect way to spend a birthday (although all the other fixin’s are always appreciated!!!). I hope you have your cake and eat it too!

Happy birthday, Callie…I’m sure Jack and Ryan will take good care of you today!
Happy birthday Callie! Enjoy your day doing what you want to do with your family! Miss you!
Love, Abby
Happy Birthday Callie!! Loved seeing you yesterday π
Happy Birthday Callie. I hope Jack got you something awesome.
Here, here to mittenrefugee’s comment!!! Love you and hope you had a great day!!!! Maybe it will continue all month π
Wow! Thank you for all the birthday wishes. This is so much better than getting them via facebook π We had a fantastic day and “my boys” had a few tricks up their sleeves.
