This morning my husband listened to me sob about the injustices of my world that made me feel like I was crumbling, and then built me back up onto solid ground. I love him fiercely.
My daughters made me laugh and thanked me for a "perfect" lunch.
Well-wishes poured in from every. single. member. of my immediate family, and many amazing friends.
One of those friends offered to watch our girls - sans payment! - so Brian and I could go out alone. We hesitated for .01 seconds before we responded, "Yes, please!"
We spent a lovely evening together as a couple. We talked, laughed, cried (okay, just me), and ate yummy food.
I was spoiled with gifts and texts and cards and phone messages.
And all I could think was, "Seriously, I am so blessed!"
Happy Birthday to me.

Well, I'm almost exactly a month late, so that should account for something cool, right? hahaha
I have not been to your blog in SOOO long! It's fun to catch up and remember that our "babies" are almost the same age. I love to see your little family in all the sweet pictures and I laugh a little (just a little) at the things you say that are funny, but also sad; the ways we both have that mommy guilt or feel like we look 6 months prego when we have a one yr old. I am not happy to read that you have tough times, not at all, but hopfully you will feel better (as I do) to know that someone out there feels just like you do some of the time and often most of the time. I means that at least we don't have to add "crazy" to our list of things to worry about.
I seriously wish we lived closer. I think it would be fun to commiserate in person. To be able to lift each other up and have playdates together too. To laugh at ourselves and maybe even cry together. But most of all to go to the soaking pool (there is a great one here that I will take you to if/when you ever visit Portland) and relax for a moment WITHOUT ANY KIDS!!!
SO happy birthday. Sorry it's so late. I'm oh so happy to read all these lovely posts (I haven't been here since March!). My gift to you is that standing offer to take you out to relax...now you just have to get a ticket to Portland. :-P
