But mines a big one this year
And about 1 in the morning I heard
The not so soft
Coming from the bassinet.
I had slept through two rounds of painkillers
And
My dietary choices were sneaking up on me
I felt awful.
Then from beside me I heard a grunt
A happy birthday grunt
And then a "isn't it great getting old"
Thanks dusty!
But besides the old age
There are a few pretty great things
About getting old for me.
Right now in my life I have
- 2 awesomely helpful girls because the older I get- the older they get (weird how that works)
- my next move is into a retirement home
- a settled marriage (no new growing pains)
- knowing that in this next decade or so I get to enjoy the goals accomplished in the last decade.
Today I am thankful for my birthday.
I am grateful I am home
I am blessed with 4 healthy children
A great husband
And the icing on the cake
It even snowed a little this morning!
Now hopefully I can get 1 or 2 naps in
Because this whole up all night thing
Isn't as easy as it once was...
