New Older E mail Notes

34......wait, what?

2008-05-03 / 4:22 p.m.

I can't believe it is Saturday again, already! I feel like it was just Saturday yesterday. It was a somewhat busy and tiring week. Brief update:

Monday: Went out to dinner with a friend that I haven't seen in a while.
Tuesday: For my aunt's birthday, she wanted to go to Disneyland with the girls. They came over in the morning and we (Dan took the day off) went from opening until closing and then they stayed the night.
Wednesday: Made breakfast for everyone and we went to California Adventures from opening until closing. Grabbed some dinner and they headed home.
Thursday & Friday: Absoloopy nothing! I was SO tired and lazy that I didn't even get out of my pajamas on Thursday. Plus, I started my period on Tuesday (which I haven't had for a couple months) and it has completely kicked my butt this month! So between that and the two days of constant walking, I was out of it.
Today (Sat.): Surprise bday party for one of Dan's aunts. It was at a nice restaurant and we ate way too much food. Everyone is napping now and the house is quiet - just how I like it.

I almost had myself convinced that I might be pregnant. I was having some crazy symptoms that I only remember having when pregnant with Bg1. I had taken several negative tests and so I decided to email my doctor to see if she could order me a blood test without me going in to see her. She did. I went in for a blood test on Monday and got the results Monday evening - negative. She said that by the level of my hormones, I didn't even ovulate. I don't know how that is possible when I started my period on Tues. morning. I hate my confussing cycle! Don't get me wrong, I was glad that I started without having to take the drugs again, but it is just so frustrating. I'm not that upset about not being pregnant, I just hate getting myself convinced that I might be, only to find out later that it's not possible.

My birthday is in 7 days. I will be turning 34. How is that possible? I used to think people in their 30's were much older. Saying 34 sounds wrong to me. I'm not upset about it, it just doesn't seem right. I'm 34, married for 12 years, and have two kids - WEIRD! It's like it is just hitting me that I am a grown up.

I already got my Mother's Day gifts. When I came home from dinner on Monday night, there was the new rug I have been wanting for our bedroom, on the floor with a card from Dan and the girls. I have been eyeing it at Target for a long time now. Dan and the girls went to get it for me because I was stressing out about having our room look nice for when my aunt and uncle stayed with us (we gave them our room because the pull out couch is way uncomfortable). Unfortunately, it was too large for the space, and it didn't really go with the room like I thought it would. So we took it back the next morning and found another rug (that I'm still not convinced I like yet) and got a lamp that I wanted as well. It was VERY sweet of Dan to surprise me that way. He's a good man.

And now, there is lounging to do while everyone is still asleep.
