Irish Twins

Today is my sister's birthday! We are Irish Twins. We get to be the same age every year for an entire week! My mom always told us that she was in a hurry to get here for my first birthday. In fact, she was in such a big hurry that my parents actually didn't even make it to the hospital before she was born. She was born in the car about 10 miles from the hospital. She was the cheapest baby my parents every had. We spent the next 20 years celebrating every year together. I took for granted that things would never change. It's now been 14 years since we've been together for our birthday's, which makes me kind of sad.
So, Happy Birthday Deb! I love you!

Hey, Laurie
This is funny I did not know that us what you call that!Me and my brother are the same age for 1 week! I will turn 31 on march 17th and he will turn 32 on the 25th of march this year! that is so fun i will have to tell him that! It is kind of fun being the same age for a little bit even if it is only 8 day out of the year!
Thanks for you comments over on my blog! I love you blog as well! The one bummer is that your new post dont show up on my blog roll! I like it when I can see when everyone posts! The reason I went private was because of my husbands x wife! but I thought o well she is crazy anyways if she wants to read it.... who cares! we have custody and she will never get it! so she hates me! I have had to work really hard at getting over it! I guess everyone cant love me!! hu?? Just Kidding!! hehe Thanks for your friendship! .... ok now that I have left a whole post!! hehe :)

Happy birthday!! The start of this school year has been so crazy. I'm the chair of our School Community Council and I've got to get our Crazy Cubs Reading Club for 4th-6th graders going. Then I'll be sane again. And have time to blog. And read blogs.

If you come this way that would be so fun to come to a game!!

That's so cool! I've never heard the term 'Irish Twins' before. But I've always had special sympathy for moms with babies THAT close together. Exhausting! Happy Birthday to sis!
