It's my birthday today! Woohoo! It also happens to be Earth Day, so go recycle something, turn the lights off when you leave a room, and don't forget to power off at the end of the day.
As I get older the importance my birthday seems to lessen. It used to be this whole ordeal with balloons, birthday cake, parties, PRESENTS. Now it's about relaxing and eating yummy food. My gift to myself today was NOT running. I decided it was okay to take the day off and wedge out. But even with less spectacular birthday fun, you'd think I'd at least get the day off from cleaning. But no. I can't live in a messy home, and I feel like a clean house is owed to me on my birthday. So, I'm scrubbing stuff later and did the dishes earlier. My husband and I did celebrate this weekend with a fancy meal and some mall time, but that's about it. The thing I really wanted was to be able to just read a good book. Which I am. Have you found that as you get older your birthday is no longer a whole hoopla? I'm okay with it. As a mom as long as my kids are safe, healthy, and happy, that's the best birthday present I could ask for. (Although my husband did get me a Kindle Fire, so there's that.)
Yeah especially once you have kids it becomes all about them. Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy B'day to you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and a kindle fire sound perfect!
ReplyDeleteJealous that you got a Kindle Fire ;) Happy Birthday yesterday! I totally agree, I don't care so much about the ceremony anymore, I'm just happy that I've been so blessed in life :)
ReplyDeleteHappy (slightly late) birthday, Prerna! WIN for the Kindle Fire :-) Hope you had a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, Prerna! Glad you had a great weekend. Also, love how you described the change in what you wanted for your birthday as a girl vs. a mother and wife. It's lovely how a clean house and healthy loved ones = an adult's cake, balloons, and gifts.
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Birthday! I hope you had an awesome day!
