It was my birthday on Monday, April 2. I turned 29...don't feel that old at all and everyone says I don't look that old probably because my kids keep me young. The funniest quote I heard about turning 29 from my favorite tv show..."This year is it. I have to party it up because after this year it's just darkness." HA! So not looking forward to 30.
I had had a rough two weeks before teaching health and grading papers so I took my birthday day off, took my kids to their babysitter and pampered myself! I realized that I had not been alone for years spending a day on myself so it was much deserved, much needed, and much appreciated by everyone who helped. Thanks to my sub, friends, family, hubby, babysitter, etc. I feel so much better and probably the best gift I got was Kayzee sleeping through the night. I got 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep and that has not happened in over 19 months!
I was getting my kids ready to take them to the babysitter and I told them it was my birthday. Memphis got excited and said I needed to blow out candles so I grabbed our bbq lighter, lit it and started singing happy birthday to myself. Memphis said, "Mommy no sing, just blow!" Ha ha. I went shopping with my friend Michelle. I grew up with her in California and she just moved to Lehi so it has been fun to catch up and hang out. I got all my shopping done way to fast (amazing what you can do without kids) so we just walked around different stores. We got lunch, then I got my nails done, went clothes shopping (I am down 2 pant sizes WOOT!) and went home to be with my little family. I forgot...Sunday (the day before) my friend Stephanie cut my hair short (I hate long hair) and gave me some blonde highlights. I LOVE it. Everyone says it brightens my face up. She did a great job. I was spoiled this year: new treadmill, new clothes, new car, new hair, we went out to eat, and got pampered. Thanks everyone!
Here are some pictures of my new hair and nails, and some of me and Memphis being silly. Happy Birthday to me!
