Not So Dirty Thirty

Getting old sucks. Plain and simple.

Remember when we were younger, all we wanted to do was grow up and be able to do whatever we wanted? I wonder what age it is, when your mind flips and decides, "hey, this getting old thing isn't cool. I want to be young again!"

Decade birthdays frighten me.

Well, I didn't have a big 'dirty thirty' party like my friends without kids have, but that's okay. I had a great birthday weekend. Friday a friend came over with her niece, we went to Applebee's then came home and killed off a bottle of Morse Code wine. Saturday we went out for breakfast at Ihop, then Cale and I went to the Adventuredome for a kids party. On Sunday, the boys made me cards and Brian sent me for a nice spa day that included a deep tissue massage, haircut, manicure and pedicure. It was nice. They put candles in a cupcake and sang to me. Ended the night with a glass of wine, a book and a hot bubble bath.

Now I venture on to juggling moving during the Thanksgiving week and weekend. I am reluctant to leave our home, but looking forward to this new chapter in our lives.

Playing Catch-Up

Jaxson's appointment went well. His heart looks fine, though we found out the residual hole from the patch is still there and he still has a bit of fluid leakage. His next appointment is in December.

In home news, we found out two weeks ago that we have to move. It is very unfortunate. We have lived here for over 4 years and the kids don't want to change schools or lose their friends. The down side of renting I suppose.

The house hunt has been a bust so far. Our house is 2500sqft with a decent enough lot size. We are okay with downsizing, but we can't take a drastic drop. So finding one of a good enough size and in our price range, in this area is HARD! We found one, but the owner gave it to a military family instead.

The hunt continues...

In health news, all three boys and I have sinus infections. Jayden and Cale have it backed up into their eyes, yuck! My anxiety has subsided TONS. I watched the movie 'The Secret' and it dealt with the laws of attraction. I have applied that to my life and it has changed me so much. I will blog more on that later.

Well, the coffee smells like it's done brewing. Off I go to pack some more if the house.
