…must not eat another piece of chocolate cake, or my stomach might explode…
...must not think about the comprehensive health reform goals required to counteract the birthday sugar binging...
…must not stack another dirty dish by the sink, or the counter might implode…[Even worse than a big pile of Sunday night dishes is a big pile of Sunday night dishes in a sink that needs to be fixed using a tool outside in the garage in the 27 degree weather.]
…must not receive any more birthday pampering, or my ego might explode, and I might decide to never do another chore again. Such nice birthday messages, partying, and babysitting of the kiddos are enough to make me feel like queen for a day, though they certainly do make life seem severely dull the next.
...must remember to thank the husband again for letting me cancel our ritzy birthday dinner date in order to relax and watch hairspray over some tasty grilled cheese sandwiches.
...must wear my new socks to bed. Ahhhhh, bed. I'm old enough now to go to bed at 9pm without shame, right? Buenas noches.

Must not have to worry about dishes on your birthday!!! That is supposed to be my domain, and where was I anyway? Probably eating the awesome piece of chocolate birthday cake you gave me (and maybe snitching the frosting off the edge of the piece for Adam).
Janel, it was so fun to celebrate yesterday . . . only I don't think you were able to relax enough. Maybe we better do it again. --Mom
The title worried me. I was afraid your birthday was a big letdown, luckily it was so good that real life is now the letdown. Glad you got to enjoy one day out of the year and I think your Mom has it right. A birthday redo. Just think how much more sugar would be available.
Good point, Mickey. I changed the title to reflect that my birthday was fabulous, and I'm left kind of still wanting to be queen. Maybe Mark will let me be queen on his birthday in two days!
I have a problem with the word "letdown." I think I just have been nursing too long, because that's what I thought of when my brother loaned me his Coldplay CD (The beautiful letdown), and I couldn't figure out what they were trying to say.
Janage--I think all my lists are rubbing off on you! Happy Birthday!
Hooray, happy belated birthday to you!
