27

Here is why I know I am getting older....

Yesterday, most of my day was spent cleaning, taking down a Christmas tree, listening to my (always seems to be sick) baby cry, and playing the Wii with my four year old. A few years ago, I might have become depressed and cried that my birthday was spent so "normal." This year it just seemed perfect to me. There was no desire to go out and party. Is that a sign that I am finally accepting life as an adult?? Probably. :-)

The only thing I really wanted to do was go on a nice date with my husband since those are always few and far between. The problem was that I didn't even want to shower. Ewww! Gross! Right? Oh well, it was my birthday and I can do what I want. Thankfully my husband doesn't mind going out with a 27 year old sporting pig tails. :-)

I have to say though that it doesn't take much to really make me happy. The best part of my day was when Jess came home from work early and suprised me with a single rose and a beautiful card. I'm still a sappy romantic. Just to know he was thinking of me when I wasn't around is all I need. That must be a sign of aging too??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Feel blessed to still have three years left in your 20's!! :) I am praying that you did manage to take a shower before you date because if you look like that when you don't shower than I am IN trouble!! :) I love the rose thing too! So sweet! It is funny how getting older brings the expectations on birthdays down a bit!! :)

Happy Birthday! You didn't look unshowered. If I hadn't showered, it would have been alot more obvious!

Laura H said...

I agree with Lindsey you dont look greasy enough if your picture. If I dont shower I look like a homeless person. Happy Birthday.
