Yep, 46 years old. I woke up this morning thinking I don't feel 46. In fact I feel more like
25 no 35. But then my body politely reminds me that I'm indeed 46. I have to stretch like a cat just to get out of bed and a late night for me is anytime past 11pm. It takes me days to recover from one night out. And my BOOBS! Well they live more South than North these days. Go ahead and laugh. If your under 40 just you wait. And then there is my memory.What the heck! I think it went South too. If I don't write it down then it does NOT happen. Sometimes I have to repeat my steps just to try to remember what it was I was after or needed to do. Okay, not sometimes A LOT of times. I realized I'm closer to 50 than I'am to 40 now. I wanted to pull the covers over my head and hide. Maybe if I stayed there the hands of time would go backwards or at least stand still. Yep, I had a little pity party for myself this morning. Getting OLD SUCKS!!!
Knowing no amount of birthday wishes were going to make time stand still I dragged my
old self out of bed and decided to make the best of the one day that is "all about me". I did NOT do one bit of work at home or for the business today. And you know what???? It was OK.
Everyone & everything survived. This was much harder for me than you think. I do NOT do "nothing" well.
I treated myself to a pedi, lunch at one of my favorite places (Stonehorse) bought the cutest shoes, and came home and took a nap. (note to self: take more naps)
My hubby invited the kids to join us for dinner to celebrate at Red Rock. I got a beautiful bouquet of flowers, gift cards to Riddle Plant Farm (yea more flowers) and my sweet hubby gave me the gift of his precious time to join me at dog training classes for all three pugs. All paid for by him. This might turn out to be the best gift he ever gave me. LOL!
It was all topped off with a yummy lemon cake.
I'm truly blessed to have a wonderful hubby and awesome kids. They take good care of Mama. The best gift of all was just being together.
So God willing this old broad will get to do it all again next year. yawn! yawn! Is it 11o-clock yet?
