Today is my birthday. Sigh. I don't want to get older. I want to be young, healthy, free of aches and pains, free to eat whatever I want forever. I can't believe I'm the responsible one now. I have a house, baby, husband, pets, 3 soon to be 4 jobs, car payments, aches and pains, sleepless nights, the list of responsiblities could just go on and on. I'm sure I'll look back 10 years from now and think if I only knew then how good I had it, like I do now looking back on my 20s.
I do enjoy my life. I love watching Ethan explore the house and walk with his walker and cuddle up with me after nursing. I like my house and new car. And my husband is fabulous. I just have to keep reminding myself of all of that when Ethan is throwing a temper tantrum because he doesn't want what I'm trying to feed him and he can't tell me what he wants or when one of the cats pukes on the rug and I have to use my leg to keep Ethan out of it while scrubbing with my hands while pushing the other cat away from it. Or when I look in the mirror and see my belly and think ugh.
I've been trying to make an effort to eat more whole grains and veggies this new year. So far we've discovered we like quinoa and kale isn't so bad. I need to work on finding better things to eat for lunch and to stop snacking on candy during the day.
I hope 2008 is a fabulous year. Other than Ethan's arrival I wasn't a fan of 2007.
Happy Birthday Me!

Didn't you hear? 30 is the new 20! I think what you REALLY need is a vacation. Or at least a long weekend of no responsibilities, commitments, cleaning, etc. We should try to do that! I know of a really nice little B&B in Vermont...
That sounds lovely.
So... with or without baby? (Like I don't already know the answer!)
