Happy Biiiiirrthdaaayyy Toooooooo Meeeeeee!

I realize some of you may find that graphic disturbing but I think it's cute. Anyways, today's the day. The big three five. We are in the middle of packing and trying to get ready to move in a couple weeks so it's going to be a very low key birthday and I'm ok with that. Spending the day with Trouble is really the best birthday gift I could ask for. We may get a cake and rent Toy Story 3 because that'll make him happy which, of course, makes me happy. I know I'm a party animal, don't be jealous. Other than that, I am completely focused on preparing for the move and I can't wait to get the heck out of here. Change is exactly what Trouble and I need. A new city and a fresh start are going to be exactly what we need heading into the new year. I really can't wait. I can feel it in my bones, 2011 is going to be a-maz-ing. You just wait and see!

There Are Two Mantras, Yum and Yuck. Mine Is Yum.--Tom Robbins

Tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 35 years old. I'm having a difficult time wrapping my head around that one. It doesn't seem that long ago when I was like, whoa, you're 35? Damn, you're old! Now I'm the old one! I know, I know. 35 is nowhere near old but there's no getting around the fact that I am definitely scaring the shit out of 40! Befor I know it I'll be over the hill! Over the freaking hill!! Me? Really? These last 5 years have gone by so fast! Isn't it crazy how time seems to go by faster and faster the older you get? Especially when all you really want is for it to slow down! I am determined to savor every moment of my life from here on out. Ever since Trouble was born I have really been aware of time and how quickly it passes. It's very important to me not to have to look back on his childhood and regret that I missed out on being there with him and watching him grow. Nothing I will ever do in my life is more important than being a good mother or helping my little guy discover this world and become who he will become. Every single day with him is a gift. So maybe I am getting older but life is definitely getting sweeter. If that's what comes with age, then I say bring it on!! Just do it a little bit slower damn it!!
