So...

* I turned 32 on Thursday. I thought, for the longest time, that I was turning 31! I guess I haven't bothered to keep up with my age since I turned 30. Oh well. I asked D to give me the day off, because he's been working massive overtime for months and I've been stressed beyond reason. He met his deadline the day before my birthday and I got my wish. I went shopping ALL BY MYSELF to Target, and the mall, among other places, and I didn't cook at allllll and I didn't clean either. We had Panda Express and store bought cheesecake for dinner and the kids made me cards and dang. It was a good birthday.


* And? I got this ring, which is totally up my alley:

It says LET IT GO. Crappy picture, but I love the ring.


*AND? I'm going on a girls' trip this weekend. TO THE BEACH. September is going to kick August's ass.
2 nights, 3-ish days. No kids. No cooking. Beach. Shopping. Eating without kids, sleeping without kids, sipping my drink (either coffee or alcohol, depends on the time. haha) on the sand. I need  this break. Desperately. I don't even feel bad that D will have to take them all to soccer and Sunday School and maybe I'll even leave them with no food so he has to go grocery shopping. bwahahaha (I won't. I'm just kidding. )
I'm going with 3 other ladies and we're sharing a condo, so it's cheap, and it's going to be AWESOME.

Sounds like a great birthday. I can't keep track of how old I am either - Dave mocks me mercilessly. :-)

Sounds exactly what you need. I'd forget to buy milk or some other necessity so he has to take all 4 to the store! Enjoy your trip

Happy birthday!! I keep forgetting my age too (and then getting freshly disappointed when I realize I'm older than I thought). Hope your beach weekend is (was?) amazing!
