Sleep. Uninterrupted.

Let me tell you about my fabulous birthday.

My mother-in-law picked up Zoey at 9:30 yesterday morning and I have not seen her since. I then shopped with my sister (at the Goodwill, very budget-friendly), worked out at the gym with Bryan (something we never do together...but so nice to have the company...), napped at home (again...NEVER...), and ate dinner at a restaurant that was not kid-friendly. And then...then...are you sitting down, people? I slept. All night. No interruptions. No cries of "my bed is wet!" or "Mommy! I need you!". Seven hours straight. And it was heaven.

And now I am propped up in bed most likely driving Bryan crazy as he tries to continue the loveliness of sleep next to me while I, ever the morning person as I get older, bang away on the laptop keyboard next to him. But it's my birthday and I can do whatever I want.

(I love birthdays and personally think they should last for weeks, not just one day.)

(His birthday is the 23rd and I'm guessing he'll kick me out of our room at sunrise and demand to be left alone until noon. Whatever. But this morning...I think I may not get out of my bed at all. Until I need more coffee, anyway.)

Happy Birthday!!! Isn't it funny what becomes celebratory after you have kids? I remember in college routinely sleeping until 2 in the afternoon.

Sigh.

Enjoy your weekend :)

Happy B day!! Great way to spend it!! On my bday this year I was 9 months pregnant with legs the size of small trees, back pain, pregnancy-induced arthritis and overall irritation. I'm hoping next year goes better!
