Happy Birthday to Me

Yesterday was my birthday. 

I just wanted to relax.  Marcus took Isaiah with him to BB's (big brother) soccer game & their cousin's football game while I slept.  That was amazing.  I haven't slept without baby around since my mom was here when she used to take over in the morning after I hadn't slept all night.  I mean I get way more sleep now at nights, but there are still interruptions, so it was nice to have none.

Then I went to Bliss to get a little something cleaned up.  Then a pedicure.  Then a little tanning.  All things I haven't done since the baby was born.  Then Marcus & I went to see a few of our friends on Henderson Avenue.  I was disappointed in the food, but it's normally fantastic, and the good company far outweighed the food.  I had a few cocktails, but I should have stuck with vino.  What was I thinking?  Wine always makes me the happiest.  The outing was brief, but it was perfect that way because I hadn't seen my baby in 12 hours! 

I was torn about that.  I was sad about it, but very pleased that I had some time to myself.  Does that make me a bad mommy? 

The only thing missing in the day was more friends, pictures (I forgot to take them), & a little cheesecake or ice cream.  Maybe I'll get some today. 

I turned 28 years old.  I am not afraid to disclose my age.  I love getting older because the older I get, the wiser, the richer, & the happier I get. 

I used to get a little upset that I hadn't accomplished more by now.  But I compared myself to the 21 year old millionaires & the 25 year olds that had started a family & became CEOs of really successful companies. 

And I still have a few things I regret like my debt mostly.  Because of it I don't own a house yet, and I really wanted to own one or two or three by now.  But I think I'll still do that by 30. 

But over all I think I'm blessed to be where I am.  I have a business that is on its way to being successful.  I'm on a path to marry the man I love.  We live comfortably enough.  And we have a beautiful baby boy. 

Life is good.
