What a week! Just kidding. Nothing happened around here at all this week. Well, that's not true. I reorganized our lego collection (into type instead of color, don't ask me why). It only took me two solid days. I'm not sure that my back is ever going to be the same again. Guess what! We have too many legos! But now they are tucked away in a little dresser in our family room that wasn't being used well before, so hopefully that will keep them from spreading over the entire length of our family room carpet. Oh, who am I kidding. I'm sure they'll still end up all over the place. I have a serious love/hate relationship with those things.
Also this week, I turned 35. I usually spend my birthdays feeling out of sorts, and this one was no different. I try really hard to treat it like any other day, but I must have some major subconscious expectations that doom me to feeling off. Does that happen to you, too? I'm almost relieved when it's over so that I can go back to feeling regular again. I didn't even want a birthday cake, and that is saying something. I'm hoping for a belated birthday ice cream date with Mike this weekend instead.
Have a happy weekend! I hope wherever you are will be cooler than our forecasted 108 degrees. If so, enjoy it for me. This heat is slowly crushing my spirit.
Over and out.

I dont know what it is, but I always feel that way on my birthday too! Lol.. major subconcious expectations, and im relieved when it is over. Glad im not alone.
ReplyDeletei'm exactly the same with birthdays - always feel weird! must be genetic ;)
ReplyDeleteOh dang our Legos are driving me crazy right now! I had them all nicely organized by color, but after a full summer's worth of use, they are a mess! Maybe I should try sorting them by type this time. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that's out of sorts on their birthday! It's a strange feeling. Have a great date night and weekend!
ReplyDeleteI've spent the last few days reorganizing our Legos too! They had completely taken over the piano room. I love that Henry spends hours playing with them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you and Elliot should fly out here until AZ cools off! :-)
I am so glad to have another birthday because it means I am still here and every day is sooooo special. Some people don't have many birthdays so be happy you are soooo blessed to have them. Love you very much
ReplyDeleteI also turned 35 this past week. It was a particularly awful birthday, with jet lag, living in a new city (country even), and not knowing how/where and with whom to celebrate. Despite logically realizing it would probably be the best birthday I've ever had, I also had these subconscious expectations that obviously weren't ever going to be met. I spent the whole day crying, and I even refused to let my hubby and friend sing happy birthday before I blew out my candles. I guess it was my birthday and I could cry if I wanted to (and I did). At least I know that the year can only get better from there!
ReplyDeletehey happy birthday to you. I finally had to tell eric that I refuse to make myself a bday cake on my birthday. so he thinks of something to get that looks like a cake for me. I feel young, but then slowly my knees crack when I get up. Oh well. hope you have a good weekend. It wasn't really hot enough, long enough, for me here. Its fall here. the other day I got all dressed to run, then stepped outside and it was 50 and blowing cold air. The day before that it was 80. I went back to bed, grumpy and cold.
ReplyDeleteMy birthday was the week before yours, and I spent the day grouchy too. Again. I thought I was the only one who did that. I finally told my husband this year, I want flowers for my birthday, every year, and that is all. I don't want to have any more expectations than that. We'll see if that works for next year. :-) Happy Birthday!
