Yesterday I ended up taking the boys to the dr…ds1 has croup. Dean’s illness is just a passing virus every other kid has. Kids shouldn’t have to get sick!

My bday dinner was good…I made honey-orange duck and broccoli and potatoes with cheese sauce and a cake, of course.

Dh got me a Wii Fit!! I’m stoked…can’t wait to get it up and running. The boys got me a trash can for the new bathroom. I know it sounds kinda strange, but I want new stuff for those rooms. Dd got me a corded phone to have on my nightstand since the phones that were sent by our voip suck. Badly.  And dh’s parents got me new curtains for the new bedroom! We just have to pick them out. Dh’s sister bought us towels. So all in all, I scored pretty well!

Today’s my birthday! Yay me

How old am I? I’m 30. Yep, the big 3-0. No more 20′s. I’m on my way now to 40! Terrifying thought

Dad to Two tagged me with  Random Things, and I figured today would be a good day to do it. He had 2 given to him, a 7 and an 8. I’m gonna stick to 7…his 8 were great, but I’d bore you.

1. When I was born, my liver hadn’t kicked in yet. They told my mom they didn’t think I’d make it. Hah! Showed them.
2. I was born in Utah.
3. On the day I was born, the temp was in the negative 20′s F.
4. I was born at 7:17 pm.
5. I usually don’t do birthdays well. They’re kinda depressing. I think I’m getting over it gradually though.
6. I’m the youngest of 5…I have 2 sisters and 2 brothers.
7. My parents thought they were done at 4 kids. Then my mom had a dream that a baby girl was being handed to her. And here I am!

So now I’d like to pass this to

I forgot to mention…today is my dd’s 11th birthday!!

She was induced 3 weeks early due to complications. I had gone into the hospital for ultrasound and they said, Ok, this baby is coming out today!

I called into work and told my boss I wouldn’t be in that night to do inventory. He was not happy until I told  him what was going on, then he was all excited and started telling everyone.

And on Jan 6, at 11:11 am, weighing in at 5 lbs 7 oz, she was born! She’s now a straight-A student, in advanced programs at school, loves her brothers, plays soccer and is our right hand.

And to top it all off today, they closed school for the freezing rain! Happy birthday to her
