I love my birthday. What a year it’s been. I don’t even remember what I did last year and I posted two posts all month. My guess is I was probably either walking the ends of the earth trying to keep the little one happy, or I was in a sleep deprived daze and felt like I was on acid. This year things are much easier. We’re going to see some kid music at 10 and maybe go play at the OMSI for a while. I pick up my cake, maybe drop of a contract and get more jewelry supplies, and wait for my delicious hot wing dinner to be delivered to me.
So far for my birthday I’ve received $5 from Burgerville, which is super awesome since it’s blackberry season. I also got a 20% coupon from Columbia which I think was very nice of them. But Juniper wants some love so gotta go!
I posted this last year right before my birthday:
Here we are in 2010. The contract job that I took to try and pay down my student loans is done and Iâ??m staring at a wide open future, finally! With this little one in my arms all day, it feels like it would be easy to give up the dream. She demands my full attention right now and honestly sheâ??s so damn cute, I could easily just dedicate my life to loving her. But I see my role as mother also being her roll model and inspiration. Itâ??s important for me to teach her that she should follow her heart. And I canâ??t be successful at that unless I follow my heart. And so although she is my biggest distraction right now, sheâ??s also my biggest inspiration. Youâ??ve got to follow your heart in this life and do thing thing that will give your life meaning and purpose. Thatâ??s not always the easiest path to follow so weâ??ve gor to be inspirations for one another. Each person I meet who is doing what they dream, is such a great motivator for me, and I want to be that person for my daughter.
