Dear Bitchy and Sassy,
The next time you make my cry at a HUGE friends and family cookout (here in Oregon) that doubled as a “surprise” 50th birthday party, I will have to kick your collective asses.
As for the scrapbook you’ve been working on for weeks now that included ALL my columns, articles, and published writings? It’s absolutely incredible.
But, the fact that you’ve been working on this secretly for over a month now, even as we’ve been arguing, fighting and screaming at each other, is even MORE incredible, and speaks volumes to my heart.
Dammit. I love you both more than I can say.

Happy Birthday to you. :)
Okay, girls. You have it in writing! She loves you! Hope you had lots of vodka there for her surprise birthday party! You are good daughters!
wow. leading double lives as loving sisters AND WWIV perpetrators! Impressive!
(Good eggs really ;) )
Oh wow! Way to come through, Bitchy and Sassy!
Can we PLEASE trade kids? Because for all the screaming and cr
ying and neck-wringing that goes on at Casa Hice, I still have greedy, selfish, ungrateful, spoiled children that would sooner leave me in a ditch than plan me a party or make me a book.
You are blessed indeed (except for the turning 50 part - but at least you're in good company.
Lovr you VM. Happy dinosaur birthday.
Totally Awesome Girls Way to Celebrate Mom, that is just wonderful. Congratulations on raising two fine young ladies and Happy Birthday Again Vodka Mom.
Awwww that's so sweet. What a great gift - the album. And a surprise party - wowzers. Great kids!
Yay! They really came through. And a surprise party???? Wow!
I love that your daughters did that! Way to go girls...way to fake your mom out!
What an awesome, loving tribute to their wonderful mother.
Awesome. Totally awesome.
I am so glad you had a wonderful birthday!
Well since you couldn't get out of turning 50, and you don't ever have to do it again, I'm glad the crying was over such a super surprise! wtg girls!

Once in a while you see glimmers of the wonderful women they will become....
Bitchy & Sassy, FRAME THIS!
just when you think you know them...
how special for you!!
Happy Bday
I'm hijacking this post, printing it out and putting it under my twins' pillows in the hopes, HOPES that someday they will put their angst behind them and REMEMBER MY DAMNED BIRTHDAY! You and your kids? An inspiration really! Happy Birthday! And congrats on great kids.
Excellent!!!!
So happy that you had a great birthday weekend! Now milk it for all it's worth!
Happy B day!
Methinks you might have to change their names...
just sayin'. :)
Happy b-day again! Best gift ever!
I am ugly crying right now, damn your bitchy, sassy daughters.
I am so proud of your girls...
Happy Birthday Sweetie!
Peace - Rene
Bitchy and Sassy are the most absolute suckups.
When will they teach my kids how to love on me that way?
love ya girl, hope you had a blast today!
Sounds like a wonderful gift for a wonderful person!
So you'll be taking the listing off eBay, then?
They love you too, big time!
I would expect nothing less from any child of yours!
A thousand Bliss-ings to you!
You did an amazing job raising them... and now you're paying for it :)
Awww! They are sweet! But I knew it. They are your off-spring.
Happy Birthday!
too sweet! sounds like you had an amazing birthday!
Yeah, I don't think those are your kids.
And now you have hard evidence.
Sounds like a wonderful birthday.
xo
Should you be concerned they were able to hide that from you with such ease?
Hehe, just kidding. You're a lucky mom :)
Acts like that show just how good of a mother you are. You've taught them well. Happy Birthday!
Your post is EXACTLY what "real" families are made of, love. If you didn't fight and bitch at each other, it wouldn't be real. Or at least not in my family. You've done a great job with your kids, pat yourself on the back! Again, you will love your 50's, I promise!
awwwww how awesome to be loved so much...again, happy birthday friend:)
One word ... awesome!
That's wonderful! You should keep those girls!
Sounds like the best 50th birthday present ever. They are just full of surprises those two!
Kids!? Whaddaya' do with 'em?
Let me join the fun too...
Happy b'day to you,
Happy b'day to you,
Happy d'day to dear Vodkamom,
Happy b'day toooooooo yoooooooooouuuuuuuuu!
this brought tears to my eyes! How incrediably sweet of them.. . Happy Birthday to you!
Awww!!! That's really sweet of them! Bless their hearts!
Dear Bitchy and Sassy;
I love you both for doing such a wonderful thing for your mom who we all love so much.
Love from the ultimate Bitch on Heels.
PS: Don't worry, I'm not a stalker...MUCH. :)
Now that explains the drawer!
Such wonderful girls... but of course - Look at their Mama!
dang...just when you think you have em all figured out, BAM, they go mess with your head again.....be careful...this kind streak has been going on for far too long - it simply can't last - the universe would implode, dontcha think?? BUT happy birthday anyway - sounds like you had a lovely one!!
There's only one thing to say: AWWWWWWWWW!
Those are some damn sweet girls you raised.
Wow! Maybe it's time for a name change ..?
ohhh... that is so nice. Nice post. Nice girls. Nice surprise.
What a great surprise for you VM!
Sneaky little buggers, aren't they? Makes you wonder what else they are up to that you don't know about.
What a wonderful gift! Happy birthday, momma!
Love requires more energy than indifference.. even though indifference is usually more peaceful!
See, even problem children can be great sometimes! Yea! What a great birthday present.
Hopefully they won't hold that up for blackmail down the road: "I'm sorry I got paint all over the floor, mom, but remember that great scrapbook we made you?" Or: "I know I wrecked the car, mom, but remember that great scrapbook?"
:)
Aww... did they make you all mushy? Happy birthday!
Don't you just LOATHE when your kids do something to redeem themselves?
God damn those crafty kids! You just know they were laughing vindictively when they knew how guilty and grateful you'd feel.
Don't worry, you'll get them back, you'll get them back. Maybe with a heartfelt collage, or something.
How awesome are your kids???
Well..I can say that shedding a few tears and wanting to kick their butts is better than what my dad did. Seriously..on his surprise 50th this is what he did:
after realizing that the party was for him he left and never came back..so we had the dinner without him.
