Today...

Okay, the screaming babe has been sated with with breastmilk and sweetly fallen asleep. The boy is watching Zoboomafoo (he LOVES animals), and so I have a moment. My day did not turn out like anything I planned. I was supposed to take the boys & my Grama to the Henry Ford museum today. They had a cool day of activities for kids centered around designing, and though the boy is only 4, they had stuff like playing with tops and flip books that I'm certain he'd have enjoyed. AND we would have had a chance to see the "With Liberty and Justice For All" display, which my husband helped to build from start to finish. He said it was a really awesome project to work on~they made a new display for the Lincoln chair, and also made one for the Rosa Parks bus. What a cool thing to know you contributed to a such an important project. ANYWAY, his truck was STILL not ready (it's been in the shop it seems like forever), so he had to take my car to work. So instead the boy and I did some pages in his preschool workbook, read a dinosaur book, and made some cinnamon rolls (from frozen bread dough~ super easy & less messy). I took some me time to get on the computer, and here we are. A while back I'd have stressed & spent the day peeved that my plans fell thru. But turning 30 really whacked me upside the head, and I've all of a sudden begun to look at things differently. Strange. Did anyone else have this happen to them? I'd be interested to hear of it...

Hey Missy -
I would say it hit me a little bit later, but then so did motherhood. I've FINALLY learned to just roll with the punches (more or less - - i still firmly dig in against fate and happenstance from time to time and sit down and havve myself a good cry at the frustration of it all). I think it has something to do with realising how precious our time here is, and how stupid it is to waste it being grumpy about crap we can't control anyway.
Welcome to the world of blogging - - I'll have you in my favorites list now, so I can keep tabs on my favorite co-birthday-er.

YEAH! A blog for Misty!! This makes me happy, as I can now stay in touch almost daily with your lives too!

To answer your question...it took me a little later as well, but I've definately learned to "go with the flow" much more than before, and not be so cynical.
