Another year, passed.
I have accomplished nothing.
I’m my own FAIL whale.

Happy Birthday to me.
(At least one of us is excited about it.)
Twenty Four

You have continued to raised two beautiful daughters. You have accomplished a lot. Much more than that. Think of where you were a year ago and where you’ve been since then!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Happy Birthday! And it seems to me that you’ve accomplished enriching the lives of two lovely little girls. That’s nothing to sneeze at.

Sugar, you’ve barely begun.
Celebrate. Walk and remember how beautiful you are. Because this is as beautiful as a woman gets.

You sneaky girl!! I would say 23 was a pretty damn good year Ms. BlogHer panelist. You are amazing. 24 is gonna KICK ASS. Love you ma!

I know you don’t need reminders of the successes you’ve had this year… besides, if you’re feeling bad or inadequate, just give yourself time. You’re only 12. HAHAHAHHAHA!
Seriously though…
The latest from Kristie…What?
You’re such a dork. You are neither a fail nor a whale. So just hush.
Happy Birthday Maria. I hope this year brings you many blessings and surprises.
Hugs and stuff :-)

Happy Birthday! I seriously, majorly doubt your girls would say you’ve accomplished nothing…
See, I consider you more like a confess success .
I just made that up. You like?! haha
Anyway, you know what I think.
Don’t make me come smack you!
(But if I did, I’d also hug and kiss you, and take you out for some shots and partying.)
You rock. No matter what you say.
xoxo

NOBODY can be a fail whale by the age of 24….
My advise to you would be to enjoy your children and love yourself. Its important for your girls to see that you love and respect yourself.
You are a truly beautiful young woman.
Happy Birthday, I have a daughter who is also 24, so young. I was pretty hard on myself and went through a lot of difficult times (depression etc.) while she grew up; its not been easy for either of us.
Raising happy, self confident children is a hell of an accomplishment. Cut yourself some slack……life is too short to be down and unhappy.

Happy Birthday! And you have 2 lovelt children, which is more than I’ve ever had, so that’s plenty of accomplishment. Oh and that penguin is so cute.

You stop that! So not true. Just ask your girls and your bloggy friends & fans.
Happy Birthday!

“Accomplishments” are relative and the really important ones are rarely visible from afar- you seem like you’re doing pretty good- Happy Birthday-
Just savor the moments with those girlies- time moves at warp speed and before you know it, one is starting 1st grade, one 4th, and one, middle school and you wonder if you have time to repair any of the stupid mistakes you have made so far bringing them up before they are grown(oh wait- that’s me).

I could write all of these messages about how you are not a fail whale, like most others are. I could simply say ‘Happy birthday’ or ‘enjoy 24.’
But here’s what I really mean to say…if you’ve accomplished so little in the past year as to be worthy of remammalfication, then I’ve got my standards set way low, cuz baby, you are the inhabitant of my pedestal.
Happy Birthday, dude! Hope you had a good one.

You won’t realize how much you’ve accomplished until at least a few years later. That’s just the way life usually works.
In the meantime, focusing on the face of a child you’ve managed to create from nothing is a good way to gain some perspective, I’ve found.
Happy birthday!

The latest from Xbox4NappyRash…A man’s work is never done
Are you kidding? You’ve “accomplished” Goobie and The Bella. Look at those beautiful girls. That is your doing.
Holy shit. I can’t believe you are only twenty four. I was such a jackass at that age. Still am, actually.
Happy birthday – wishing you all the things that you want, to happen for you on this day.
