Unfortunately I have finally entered into the 40 Club! I must admit that age does bother me a little. The thing is I don't feel like I should appear "old" to my kids. I remember my parents being 40 and I thought it was sooooooo old. Now that just depresses me! I asked Raelynn if I looked 40, without hesitation she said "Yes, but you look better than most Mom's that are 40!" I really wanted to take that as a compliment but I am still unsure if I should. I will say that I couldn't be happier with my life at 40 though. I have a wonderful family, good job, nice home and great friends. Therefore I guess I will just embrace my 40's!
Saturday was my birthday and I started it out with a little workout and then was off to a horse show with Raelynn. From there I took Coop to his soccer game and then back out to the horse show in time to watch Raelynn in races. It was your average crazy Saturday. At about 5pm Terry tells me we have reservations for dinner at 6pm so he hoped this was over soon. What!? I was shocked and happy but at the same time could have used that information about an hour before so I could go home and get ready. I left them all at the horse show and headed home to get ready. By the time Terry got home and took the kids over to Andrea's, I was ready to go. We headed out for our date night and Terry pulled in to Henry T's. Now if you live here you know you do not need reservations for T's so I was a little suspicious. To my surprise there was Andrea, Vince, Cody and Steph to celebrate my birthday with us. I was so excited to see them all. A night out with my great husband and my best friends was PERFECT! We had a blast and I couldn't have thought of a better way to celebrate my birthday. I can't thank them all enough for making me feel special. Steph even got a little creative and made me the perfect birthday cake.
I am truly thankful for my friends and family!
So after my fun weekend and achieving absolutely nothing over the weekend, Monday rolled around much too quickly. I had no menu planned, no workouts outlined, the house was not cleaned, work was not complete and I was still finishing up laundry as I got up Monday morning. Both Raelynn and Coop started basketball this week. I am helping coach Raelynn's team and Coop is still finishing up soccer as well. It has made for a pretty crazy week and we can't forget the late night everyone had last night watching the Royals in 14 Innings!!!! Raelynn has her last Lights On performance tomorrow night. It is so hard to believe we are having "lasts" for elementary school. She is growing up way too fast and over the past month or so it has been so evident. I truly hope she and I's relationship can maintain the way it is now. I love her and she needs me so much now but in such a different way than when she was little. I hope I never let her down and can always figure out how to be there for her even when she doesn't think she needs me. This Mom gig is a tough one and by far the best thing I have EVER done in my life!!!!!
