A Month Away From 40!

December 4th is a month away. It’s my mother in law’s birthday, so happy birthday to her!! 🎉 

I don’t necessarily have anything nostalgic or momental to write...I’m sort of just documenting my road (as I wrote in a previous blog to 40). Today, has been an uneventful day. I’ve watched the election results creep in for the last remaining states. I’ve hung out with my kids doing nothing more than sleeping, eating, watching tv, showering, getting dressed, and getting back in the bed to watch tv some more. My kids both  fell asleep around 8pm, and I’m not mad at that. Besides my littlest one waking up to eat on his schedule...I’m doing good enjoying the quiet time to myself to watch Housewives of Orange County, Friends, and Can’t Buy Me Love, among other things, until I fall asleep myself. Hey! That’s my life, and I don’t apologize for it. Today was uneventful, tomorrow may not be...it’s all a crap shoot (shrug).

Sans COVID I would normally be planning some over the top event of a party to celebrate my milestone year...actually; I decided after 35 to not plan huge parties anymore and to take the money that would’ve been food, drinks, entertainment and spend it on myself. In actuality, I’m doing as planned this year regardless of a international pandemic! I’m doing it cautiously, with great restraint, and proper planning. I’m excited! I want to seize the moment(s)! God is forcing my hand, or forcing me out of seemingly comfortable situations that I’ve been all to settled in. It’s unsettlingly, scary, stressful, but not totally unexpected. It’s milestone time!

Here’s to all of you planning milestone years and/or moments!
