29th Birthday

December 6

The big 29!  Last year in my 20's!

I would by lying if I said my day started out amazing.  I got up, got ready, Jordan came in sleep eyed and snuggled with daddy til I was ready.  Me and him went downstairs and I started in with my morning routine.

{Load of laundry in.  I got hair dye on my pants last night :( }

{Coffee....Yes please}

 This is where I started to get in a funk.  

I spilled mini chocolate chips on the floor. Jordan runs over and says, "I'll take care of that mom!" He then starts shoving handfuls in house.  He was trying to be helpful but I wasn't appreciated it.

I then look up to see a sink full of dishes....

then the overflowing garbage....and then the pile of recycling that needed to be taken out.  I then started grumping in my head about how I have to do all this stuff on my birthday.  I should be then one in bed or at least sitting at the table sipping coffee and checking facebook.  I took care off all the above but not happily.  

 The not so perfect morning started my funk but isn't the reason for it.  I have been down the past few days.  Not sure why exactly but have some ideas (and has nothing to do with old age).  

I carried on with my morning doing my best to tell myself and everyone else I was happy and Woo hoo it's my birthday!

{I did finally get to sit for about 5 minutes with my coffee and facebook}

{Then it was off to take this cute guy to preschool}

 When I got back I decided maybe making cupcakes would bring my spirits up

but then I got a text that Jana wanted to bring me coffee.  So I put off cupcake making and waited for her to come.  I was secretly hoping I could say hi to Cohen.  Guess who came to the door too with a card!  He even wore his Aunt is Awesome shirt!  I think missing Carter is having a bigger effect on me then I realize this past month.  This was just the thing I needed!  I brought a smile to my face and my heart (sounds cheesy I know).

{look at that face}

After they left I had more glad then sad.  

Nine and I made my cupcakes together.

Though my day was no morning at the spa, day at the beach with sun, or at least some snow.  I was still very blessed by family and all the loving comments on facebook!
