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 ...

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...
