Nothing profound

So I'm not going to say much. But I am going to say--it's way too late, I'm crazy for still being awake, and that typing it out made it that much more of a reality.

On that note... Good night!

Sleeping In. Sunshine.

My birthday is on Friday. How old am I going to be?? Quarter-life crisis. :-) I am young enough that I still look forward to my birthday, but old enough that I don't get too excited about it. It is interesting how after you have a child, things centered around yourself just aren't that big of a deal. From the moment Sadie was born, I have cared less about birthday or Christmas presents. I've realized how insignificant it all can be.

My mom keeps asking for ideas for my birthday. What would I like to have? What would I like to do?

I don't know.

She then asked, "What would your perfect day look like?"

My response... "Sleeping In. Sunshine."

The weather has been incredibly gloomy for the past several days. I am in desperate need of sunshine and warm weather. I almost went tanning tonight just so I could get the illusion of warmth. Sleeping in... well, I think that's always nice, but given the events of the past couple of weeks--I think it would make the perfect birthday present.

With Dan being sick, hospitalized, and sick again, I have been on double-duty as a caregiver. I am just TIRED. When Dan was in the hospital I could not sleep. I don't think I have caught up since then.

We'll see if I get my two birthday wishes. I hope so. But even if I don't get them, I am looking forward to spending the day with the two loves of my life. It really can't get much better than that anyway.
