A Mommy Story

I kinda resented having a birthday one day apart from my mom growing up. Our family always celebrated our birthdays together, meaning I never had my own party. I didn’t even have my own cake – it was always a shared cake. (I liked chocolate, and she preferred white, so it was usually half-white, half-chocolate.)

Now that I’m older, I prefer a shared party. We’re all so busy now, and a shared party makes it easier to coordinate schedules. And since I married a man who has a birthday 9 days before mine, we usually lump his celebration in with ours.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our haiku theme last week! We’ll probably have another themed haiku topic in a few weeks. If there’s a theme you really want, be sure to let us know!

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below or at Jennifer’s blog with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, contact Jennifer or myself.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! We will delete any links without haiku!
