My birthday is Sunday. Last night at the supper table, my husband innocently asked (in a get-the-kids-all-riled-up kind of innocent) “Mommy, what do you want to do for your birthd…?”
Interrupted by an excited six-year-old: “She’s gonna sleep!”
After a laugh (because that’s exactly what I plan to do) hubby continued. “Four days…” (until mommy’s birthday)
Interrupted again.
Six-year-old: “Yep. Mommy’s gonna sleep for four days!”
Not quite, but don’t call me on Sunday. I’ll be sleeping. 
It’s a Finer Thing to have a family that knows me so well. Mama doesn’t need a fancy restaurant dinner, jewelry or flowers. Just give me some sticky hugs and a 4-day nap and I’m good to go.

My kids always tell me that if I was a Pokemon, I would be a Snorlax. I’m a big fan of sleeping as well. (Well, I actually hate going to sleep, but I also hate having to get up.)
