Birthdays

I don’t sweat getting older.

I think I’m getting better with age.

39 isn’t that much different than 38, except I’ve got another year of life under my belt (and a baby, but that’s not a yearly thing).

40 is right around the corner, but let’s be honest, 40 is the new 30, and 30 was a pretty good year for me.

At 39, I’m in a great place.

I’ve got an amazing husband, 3 unbelievable kids, and 1 on the way.

I have parents and an extended family with whom I actually enjoy spending time.

I have a few close friends who absolutely light up my life.

I have a career that I love.

I have a roof over my head and food on my table every single night.

Today, I’m 39.

And it’s all good.

(And, because Monkey Girl saw me taking a picture with the computer and had to get in on it, and because I love that girl…)

A Different Point of View

Filed under: Uncategorized — Amy @ 4:42 pm

So, I write this blog and read a bunch of Mommy/parenting blogs, and they are all written by women.

Me included.

Obviously.

However, an old high school friend of mine just recently restarted his blog, and while he normally writes about non-parenting related issues, he wrote a post, yesterday, that showed a road trip with the family from his male perspective.

It gave me a chuckle, so I thought I’d share it with you.

My New Year’s Resolution

I’ve known for awhile what I wanted my resolution to be this year, but I have been struggling with how to put it into words.

I’ve typed this post up in Microsoft Word a few times, but then re-read and deleted because it didn’t sound right and didn’t convey what I wanted to convey.

So, imagine my surprise, last night, when I logged into Google Reader and saw that Rachel, one of the authors of a blog that I frequent, had penned her own New Year’s Resolution blog and her resolution is my resolution and she said it so much better than I ever could.

So, Rachel, forgive me for copying, but really, you said it best.

Click here to visit Rachel’s blog and see our resolution.  (You can skim through her Trader Joe’s thank you’s…it starts under the sub-heading “My One New Year’s Resolution.”)
