Balm

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

Maybe there is a greater power at work. Kids are a balm for grief. No one with young kids has time to sit around and ponder what it was like to hold a loved one’s hand as he took his last shallow breath, exhaled, and departed this world. Sure, it comes to you in flashes, but you don’t have time to really process it.

I know I will, though. It will catch up with me, and I will wrestle with it.

35

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

So. 35. I kind of thought it would feel different, but it doesn’t. It feels like any other day. I guess when I was 15 or 20, 35 sounded really old to me. The reality of 35, though, is that I feel 25, with all of the insecurities and fears about the future that I always had. I don’t feel like I have some kind of wisdom that I didn’t have ten years ago. What i do have is one great husband (although I am thinking he may not be so into me lately – what is with “losing” the wedding ring?) and two awesome kids. Those are three things that I never imagined would be so fulfilling, or even a part of me at 35.

I am one lucky 35-year old hot mom, people.

You will have to take my word for it. I was going to put a picture of me up from today, but geez, i just feel fat – inside, where it counts, i am 25. The outside? Not so twentyish anymore. . . .

Instead, look at me on birthdays past! Or, at least the ones that I have photos scanned in for. And then there are a few birthdays where I was too poor to have pictures made, and then there was that one . . . well, let’s just say that it is better that there were no cameras for that one.

Happy birthday, me!

p.s. This post would be so much better, if Todd wasn’t walking around sighing and asking when I was going to finish up so that we can watch Battlestar. As if it’s his birthday or something.

Mom and Me: Birth, 1972.
Mom and I the day I was born.

Dad and Me, First Birthday
My first birthday: Me with Daddy.

2nd Birthday, 1974
My second birthday.

My 4th Birthday, 1976
My fourth birthday: Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor.

Scott and Me, 1977
My fifth birthday, with Scott Gage.

My Sixth Birthday, 1978
Sixth birthday, with the neighborhood kids and my cousins. I am also wearing a homemade crown that they gave me at school. The dress I am wearing was long and I thought it made me look like Laura Ingalls, which totally rocked my world.
