Another birthday come and gone....well, almost.

I am 29 years old. I'm almost 30. It took a minute to sink in today. My birthday had kind of a rough start. Mike and I went to bed just after midnight and welcomed my birthday with a short marathon of 'That 70's Show'. I was having trouble sleeping so I ended up taking some Benadryl and just as I was dozing off to sleep, Jack let out a huge cry and when we went in to check on him, he was completely awake. Being a decent mom, I knew he was teething so I gave him some Ibuprofen just before bed, so Mike and I still haven't figured out what set off the crying fit. Long story short, Jack ended up in our bed for the night and I didn't sleep that well all night. Between Tornado Jack, and the Snoring Symphony (Jack AND Daddy) I slept from 1-4 am and was up after that. So when Jack woke up at 7 am, both of us got up reluctantly. Mike was nice enough to let me try to nap, but my body was so on edge for some reason, I'd just start to doze off and something would wake me up. Ahhhh, life with a toddler. After Jack went to play at Holly's, I got showered and ready to go out for my birthday dinner. I was hoping to go to Famous Daves' for some ribs but I thankfully called ahead to see if they have any menu items that are gluten free.......yeah, NO. I think there was one dish if I didn't get any seasoning on it that I could eat.....No. I'm trying to be good, so we decided to go to the casino and eat crab instead. We had a little time to kill so we played some slots. We didn't loose too much. I broke even, but Mike lost a little on video poker. All in all that was a good evening. After the casino, we went to Mike's co-worker's house to pick up a train set and table for Jack for Christmas. I think that he will really like it when we get everything set up. We took Jack to the Learning Sprout store and he was in love with the train table they had set up. I'm just hoping he'll be as interested in it, if it's at his own house. So now I'm just catching up on some blogging while MIke comes home from picking up some more train pieces. Mike is doing fine, albeit about the same as before. Not having such cold weather lately has helped his condition. When he stays indoors like he has lately, the condition is more easily managed. Now we just have to keep him inside more..... heh, like that will happen.

So here's to turning 29, feeling like 50, but I'm goin' to keep trucking no matter what comes up.

Happy 29th Birthday!!
