It was my birthday!

Yep. Tuesday I turned 27!!! It wasn't so bad. In fact I spent the day in pure relax mode. I awoke on a beautiful Tuesday morning to a light breeze that caressed my face and sunshine that soaked in to my pores and warmed my soul. I turned over in bed and looked at the clock. WHAT? It was seven in the morning. Shelby's first homemade birthday present to her mother. "Thank you Shelby!" I exclaimed. As I got out of bed, I mosied on up the staircase, and straight ahead of me was a little note, in black permanent marker..."Happy Birthday Megan. I love you very much! ~Love Tom." Aaaww.

The rest of my day went well. I did some laundry, played with the kids, made meals, and talked on the phone. But to start the day out like I did was very wonderful. The kids were great and I felt so content.

That night my mom watched the kids and Tom and I went out. I chose the Green Iguana in North Branch. It's this cute little Mexican Restaraunt. I love their food, but I mostly love the atmosphere. When you walk in you can totally escape and pretend you are in Mexico. It is super bright and colorful and they great you with a huge smile on their face. This time I was greeted before we even got in the door by the owner, "Look at my new toy!" (he points to the boxer porshce convertible sitting outside the door). "Oh, I thought you were someone else.Sorry!", he says in his happy spanish accent.

So 3 enchiladas, 3 margaritas and one shot of tequila (on the house for my birthday), later, I was feeling slightly intoxicated. But, I had a great time! It felt, for a moment, like a date with Tom pre-kids. It was fun and so nice to be out, just the two of us!

So, that was my birthday! And yes, if any are wondering, around 2 am I felt like puking, but I drank some water and went back to bed and slept till 7 am. And then I was fine.

Happy (late) Birthday senorita! :) FUN to have a night out with Tom and AMAZING that you got to "sleep in" (however I still don't understand the world of moms yet, and how 7am is considered "sleeping in") ha ha. Glad it was a great day for you!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my coffee

Still here...Day Two.

Well, I still miss my kids horribly. Especially this morning when I heard that Shelby was up alot during the night. She has not been up in the middle of the night in 3 weeks, and it made me feel guilty for leaving her. I felt and feel, like I should be home with them. I know the woman who is watching them, that if she hears even the slightest little peep out of the kids would go rushing in to their room. I really don't want Shelby to get used to someone picking her up in the middle of the night for little rustles and sighs. But maybe I am just anxious, and maybe it is not really that big of a deal. Maybe I should just enjoy my time with my thoughts, my books and my husband. But honestly, I am anxious because I feel like the can't live with out me (don't laugh, besides I know it's over dramatic:)), I haven't even attempted to pick up one of my books, and my husband is driving me nuts because it does not bother him one bit that we are 3 hours away from our little bund

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a
