Off The Hook!

Jordan was just invited to a birthday party. They will be riding horses. Actually they will sit on the horses and be lead around by someone else - but for 5 year olds this is riding horses. Jordan is really excited about being able to ride a horse. She did inform me however that I don't actually have to buy her a horse because Grace has a spare one that she is going to let Jordan borrow! Man, how can I be so lucky? Totally off the hook on that one - I mean I was going to start my horse shopping tomorrow - now maybe I'll just buy myself a sweater.

Confessions of a Horrible Daughter

I totally forgot my Dad's birthday. I didn't call, I didn't send a card, not even an email. It was a week ago! I suppose I should go to the store today and see if I can find a belated belated birthday card.

Hmmm maybe I'll make him a homemade one:

Happy Birthday 2 Weeks Ago!
Where did the time go?
Probably off with my brain!

or

So, you had a birthday?
Obviously, since it wasn't my birthday I didn't care.
Hope it was alright.

or

I forgot your birthday again.....
but that doesn't mean you can forget about mine.

or maybe a birthday limerick?

There once was a very bad daughter
Who didn't send a card like she ought 'er
So she wrote you this poem
And said that'll show 'em
I'm a very bad poet of fodder.

Or maybe a haiku?

It was your birthday
I forgot to send a card
So here's a poem.


Okay, so maybe I shouldn't work for Hallmark - and with ideas of sending cards like that you KNOW I'm a bad daughter. Do you have any better ideas?
