I survived...Barely.

That shouldn't be in past tense, but I'm wiped out so the day is pretty much over for me--it's six and I'm officially old now so it's okay to call it a day, right? Anyway, today is the big day. 30. It sounds so weird. Up 'til yesterday I could still call myself a kid and now I probably can't.

I wish I could say I was spending my non-blogging time the last couple days doing something productive but aside from some blog reading, browsing Facebook and finishing the book I was reading, I haven't done crap! I have a valid excuse (still just an excuse though). For the last three days I have ended up with a high fever, chills and a headache. Then once the Tylenol kicks in I feel like I am dying from the heat. I am sure I have some form of the nasty throat virus my husband just got over, but I have had no pain or issues at all with my throat. Very weird. Very annoying.

Since I feel crappy we stayed around home all day today. My cousin and his family brought over pizza and cake, after hanging out and bs'ing a while they had to leave, and my daughter went into hysterics! It was hysterically funny and awful and sad all at the same time..She ran up to their son, who is 7 I believe, and clutched his waist, shrieking and crying. And we let it go on for at least two minutes. Because we are all mean adults. She probably needed a nap, but she also loves her little cousin; I'm not sure he's always as thrilled to have a three year old trailing him when we're all together though.

I also received some exciting news as far as my writing goes, but I heard it third party so I'll wait until it is confirmed to commit it to the internet!

Tomorrow we are attempting the beach again, I will be wearing at least a t-shirt and maybe full pants. Since obviously putting sunblock on often enough isn't a strong point of mine. Plus I'm still suffering from last weekend's sunburn. And after that I am picking up a case of books to distribute for World Book Night, I'm very excited about that.

  1. Happy Birthday, Rachel! It's 10 til midnight here, so technically I made it. Welcome to the thirties -- it's truly a wonderful decade! I can say that because I am about to exit it =) Hope you're feeling better!

    1. Thank you Sandra :) I think I'm pretty much over my pity party now, although it's still weird to call myself a 30 year old!

  2. I'm more than double your age, if that makes you feel better. :)

    Enjoy!

    1. You definitely look good for your age though Madeleine (everytime I go to write to you or about you I want to call you Maddie for some reason)..I would never have guessed you were even close to double my age!

  3. Any gray hairs yet? That's what made me feel old at 35. Eh, age is relative, so make the most out of every day, even the ones that leave you feeling less than spectacular!

    1. I've had a gray streak for at least 5 years and it keeps getting worse and worse!
