I have about 20 more minutes left of my 30th birthday and as I sit her alone in dark, I am oddly at peace. Much to my surprise I don't really feel any different. My birthday came and went pretty much like any other day. I got a kiss on the cheek and a "happy birthday honey" from my hubby on his way off to work. My precious 5 year old wanted to make me a special birthday breakfast in bed but because she knows she is not allowed to use the stove she decided to make me oatmeal. (I will admit that it was a bit on the cold side, but if you could have seen the smile on her face. She was so proud of herself. To be honest I have been an emotional wreck this past week leading up to today. I guess I finally realized that life is going to happen whether I like it or not. Instead of focusing on all the blessings I have in my life I was dwelling on the negatives. Yes I may weigh more than I would like, but because I was blessed with two wonderful children I have a reason for it. I may not be living in my dream house, but at least I have a place to call home. The endless task of cleaning the kitchen only means I have a family to cook for. Although I don't get to go shopping as often as I would like and my checkbook could use a bailout from Washington, I am thankful that I get spend every day at home with my children. I guess what I am trying to say is that I need to stop waiting for tomorrow, start enjoying today and begin living for the moment.

Happy Birthday! It's about time you start blogging again, I've missed you.
Happy Birthday Sara!!!!
Happy birthday!!!! Hope it was a good one!
1st: HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU OLD LADY YOU! :) *I'm only a short 2.5 years behind you. You have my permission to give me a hard time when that day comes.
2nd: AMEN SISTER!! I feel that way too A LOT! I find myself dwelling on all the negative like lack of extra money, work stress, kid stress, messy house, etc. But you're right, we really need to look at the glass as half full. We have a house, it may not be our dream house, but we have one. We have kids and the stuff that helps to make a house messy. Just keep trying to focus on the good. That's all we can do!!
**AND no, I haven't read The Shack yet. My mom gave it to Ben to read and I don't know where it's wound up. I just finished a book so I think I'll start that one next.
Very well said Sara
