ok... 31

i mean i had avoided and dreaded turning 30 for years... it was one of those major milestones that i had dreaded coming. but came it did. some how with dreading 30, 31 kind of snuck up on me. i guess i had forgotten that life continues and that there are ages OLDER than 30. and today i count myself in that category... i am older than 30. i am 31. *sigh* well, (as my nanny would say) it is better than the alternative :)
but with a birthday does come some fun stuff. jack and i get to go out to dinner tonight :) and tomorrow my husband (all on his own) decided to take off of work and give me the whole day to myself. i plan to go to the beach (without kids!!) get my hair cut (without kids!!) and shop (without kids!!). it should be a glorious day.
if only we could have the joys and love of a birthday without getting older... if only.
