The Crazy Bunch
Here's the story, of a girl named Laney
Who was bringing up three very active boys
All of them have hair of brown, like their mother
The youngest one throws toys.
Here's the story, of a man named Kevin
Who was busy working very far away
He was sad, but couldn't leave
Even though it was Laney's birthday.
So she said that she would not be sad on this day
She knew that she had blessings all around
This group would be together someday
And her sanity would then again be found.
The Crazy Bunch, the Crazy Bunch, that's the way we became the Crazy Bunch.
Yes, today is my birthday, and I am 34. I expect to see my comment box flooded with comments, that's all I really want.
I feel guilty and selfish, not good birthday feelings. I feel guilty because I received beautiful cards from my dear family and friends and a large majority of my fellow Americans do not even have a pillow to lay their weary heads on. I feel selfish because I want my husband home, when he is simply trying to restore power and hope to people crippled by disaster. Yuck! It's not eloquent, but, yuck! My birthday wish is for comfort for those who mourn and hope for those who despair. Pray for your fellow citizens today, please.

Happy Birthday again Laney. It was a lot of fun singing to you today and you were very gracious and let me finish the whole thing. It is my wish to you that you get flooded with comments as Kevin is working in the flood. May you be flooded with the knowledge that my heart overflows with love for you.
Love
Dad

Happy Happy Birthday Ba-beee!!!
Try to imagine me singing on key, in person, giving you a big birthday hug!
It must be tough for you right now, but I hardly think it is selfish of you to be wantin' your man home to celebrate with! Go easy on yourself, girlfriend! ;)
I am praying for Kevin's safety and your sanity while he is away. Just rest in the knowledge that he is able to help. Most of us want to help so badly but have no means to do so, except with money.
Happy Birthday Blog sistah! Now, you come and wishe me a happy birthday tomorrow! And guess what? My dh will be gone too. I know it's hard, i do. And I am trying hard not to have a pitty party! Here's to birthdays celebrated....later. Hang in there.
Happy Birthday, Laney! Maybe you and your hubby can do an after b-day celebration!
Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Laney....
I'm younger than you!
But not by much!
Seriously, I hope you have a wonderful day. I'm sure the people down south really appreciate you sharing your husband.

Well, if you and Melissa will just pack it up and come on down, we'll treat you and all the kids to a day of boating on the river, BBQ on the banks, and then I will watch all eight hundred children while you and Melissa go running. It's safer that way, trust me.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Have those babies kiss you, ok?

P.S. I literally LOL'd at the song. That was an excellent rendition!
Happy, happy day, Laney!!

Happy Birthday, dear Laney!
Sending you virtual Hugs the day after.
I know how that feels not having your husband around on your birthday (or other major holidays. It's no fun. No that you are loved! By many apparently. :-)

LOL@that song, especially "the youngest one throws toys". You are infamous at getting songs stuck in my head, *sigh*
Sorry I couldn't comment on the day but you should know you are loved by many Laney-poo and I am one of them! Hope you had a fantastic day and the time flies by until Kevin is home again. I can definately sympathize with you after we did that 1.5yr with Geo on the road.
HUGS!!!
Happy Belated Birthday, Laney!
May the Lord pour out His richest blessings upon you and your family in the year ahead.
You are a special Blog Sistah!
Love in Christ,
Linda
