Hard to Swallow...

It is official, I am 35 years old. Today was my birthday. This is the first year where my age is a little hard to swallow. The numbers are really creeping up there.
I had a great day. I started it out with an early spin class at 5:45. This is my 3rd time going and I love it more and more. Seems like each class I am learning to push myself a little more. Love it. I am glad I have my sister to go to it with. That makes it easier to get up so early and go. After class, I buzzed home and got Savanna off to girls camp. She will be gone for 3 days. She is only about 15 minutes away in the basin. She will have fun. I am glad she made the choice to go. She really does have some fun friends here. After dropping her off, I snuck in a 30 minute nap before it was time to take Hallie and Quincey to art. They are helping paint the sets and scenery for the upcoming "Footloose". Hallie loves her art class and her teacher, Peg. After art drop off, I got to babysit Kaydee's kids. She had to work today. While babysitting, I worked on getting my mounds of clean laundry under control. Much better. Gracie and Jase made the kids lunch today for me since it was my birthday. Oh that reminds me, this morning while I was sneaking in a nap, Livee came in with a little mini red tootsie roll and said Happy Birthday. It was too cute watching her eyes dance on that treat that she would really love to eat but was willing to give to me. After babysitting, Kaydee fixed us dinner. We made a type of Cafe Rio sweet pork burrito with rice and guacamole. It was yummy. Kell and her kids came and ate with us too. We then took the kids night swimming until about 8:30. It was a hot one today. It felt good. After we went home and had hot apple pie with ice cream. Oooh it was divine. Kell and Kaydee bought me a super cute shirt from Maurices. Dad brought me home a fresh rose. He told me happy birthday through his flaklemt (spelling) ness. Brad's gift was a mini trip to St. George about 1 1/2 weeks ago with my sister. Hal picked me up a goodie and balloon from the kids. Got a couple of wonderful cards from my other mom's. They really made my day. It was a great day even though I am 35. The only bummer part was not being able to celebrate with mom but I know u were with me in spirit. Driving home from spin this morning with some pondering time, it just hit me that my mom is gone. It kind of reopens up some deep emotions. I miss her deeply. Having the yard sale this past weekend of all her stuff I think is what started the emotions, but it kept me busy enough that I haven't had a free uninterrupted thought to process that all her stuff is gone. It really means she is gone. Is it normal to still find it hard to understand or wrap my brain around that. Well it hit me in the car on the drive home. Sometimee we need those moments.
Anyways, thanks everyone for the time you spent on my birthday. I love you.
