30...Friend or Foe?

So today was the day, well technically yesterday was the day, but I don't really need to be technical do I? I mean, I am still allowed a tiny bit of slack for just a bit longer. Right??! Ahhhhh, well, the day...
Blessed with so many people that love me inspite of my crazy ways, my day wasn't so ordinary. My children locked me in my room however and told me not to come out! No matter what! I should have left my room after 2 hours of lock down, buuuuuut I didn't! How could I do that to my poor children?! That would have been just plain heartless...and productive I'm sure. I didn't crush their happiness and we all won! They made me a cake, some cupcakes, and poured mommy a glass of wine for lunch! How perfect are they?! Love them!!
I'm not a liar, so I cannot lie and say I didn't have several breakdowns throughout the day. I mean mini breakdowns, I kept somewhat busy. I could feel a big, ugly, mascara running, nose running breakdown coming by early evening though! Aaaaannnnnddd, she came! My nearly perfect Husby triggered it. He came home, set up the dining room table as follows; pizza from one of our old speed dial favorites from when we first got married. Coca cola, chocolate cheesecake, Cupcake wine, a new bottle of perfume, and a big girl paint sprayer!! Oh and of course, a ridiculously sweet card. Talk about water works, and a DELISH dinner! Husby always, always comes through. He knew my day was hard, harder, hardest.
So at the end of my day, I was reminded why it doesn't matter what my age is as long as I can remember who makes my days the most special. So rock on Husby and Children of Mine, you guys make everyday a party.

My Last Week In My Twenties!

On Thursday, December 30th, I will be entering into my thirties!!! I will say this, since I was old enough to care I've been waiting for this day because it is my "Golden Birthday", 30 on the 30th. As the day gets closer and closer, I become more and more anxious! I do realize that it is just an age, it really doesn't make me who I am or define me, however, it is still freaking me out! I'm hoping anyone out there may relate and tell me that I'm completely normal. There's just so much running through my, already busy, mind! Such as what have I accomplished up until now? What do I want to accomplish in the next chapter of my life? Have I been a good mother, wife, friend, sister, daughter? How could I be a better person? SEE WHAT I MEAN??!!! I mean seriously! That is just too much for one mind to handle along with my "everyday load"! So I decided to post a list of things I know for sure so that I will quit pondering the unknown!
 THINGS I KNOW "FO SHO

• I FIND A NEW REASON TO FALL IN LOVE W/ MY HUSBAND EVERY DAY.
•  I HAVE FOUND A WAY TO REMIND MYSELF OF WHY IT IS I LOVE HIM EVERY TIME I FIND ONE OF HIS ROLLED UP DIRTY SOCKS ON THE FLOOR.
•  I KNOW MY HUSBY LOVES ME JUST THE SAME.
•  MY CHILDREN HAVE SHOWN ME WHAT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE REALLY MEANS.
• I HAVE A STRONG DESIRE TO LEARN AND LOVE DOING SO.
• I CANNOT GO THROUGH AN ENTIRE DAY W/OUT DOING SOMETHING CREATIVE.
• I HAVE MADE SUCH AN AMAZING FAMILY OUT OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T SHARE A SINGLE GENE WITH ME. MY FRIENDS ARE THE MOST WONDERFUL, SUPPORTIVE CREW A GIRL COULD ASK FOR.
• I HAVE LEARNED THAT SLOWING DOWN AND STEPPING BACK IS HOW I HAVE BECOME MORE WHOLE.
• THROUGH THAT, I'VE FOUND THAT THE SEARCH FOR PERFECTION IS A WASTE OF TIME, BECOMING WHOLE HAS MADE IT ALL WORTHWHILE.
• LIVING SIMPLE HAS MADE OUR HOME SO FULL OF BLESSINGS.
• TURNING 30 IS GOING TO ROCK!!!
