I have been dreading this up coming week for days, weeks even years. For some reason I've put so much thought into this milestone it has been driving me CRAZY! I know age is just a number but turning the big 3-0 has been an emotional roller coaster for me.
I look back when I turned 20 and what my hopes and dreams were, and where I saw myself at 30. Having a family was at the top of my list and I couldn't be happier. A wonderful husband and three smart and beautiful sons later....most of my twenties were dedicated to them without any regrets. In fact my 20's were self-less and my family always came first even though I wanted a career instead of just having a job, I've put in on hold so I can raise my babies. I look in the mirror often searching for grey hairs and wrinkles but am more concerned about the person I have become. Maybe that is why this milestone has been so tough for me as I constantly ask myself the same question...Am I happy with the person I have become? And I am my own worst critic! I know I officially became an adult when I turned 18 but it was a much longer process than that. I finally feel like an adult and it's not so bad....except occasionally when tough decision have to be made, I wish I was a kid again and not have to worry about stuff like that, but becoming an adult is realizing that making tough decisions is exactly what being an adult is about.
It took till now to figure out who I am and what I want from life and as long as I have that figured out I'm comfortable about starting another decade of my life. I think my 20's where harder that my 30's will be and I'm looking forward to new adventures and hopefully a little more stability in life. I hear 30's are the new 20's (even though only older people say that) I'll give believing it a try. Cheers!
After selling my Cosco double side to side stroller and my Fisher-Price Sit and Stand travel system I down sized to a fabulous red compact easy to maneuver Quinny Zapp only a couple of weeks ago. It was a dream to push. It was light and folded so small I kept it on the floor under my sons car seat and had a EMPTY trunk for the first time since having children. Keeping it in full view on the car floor, I think, is what made me lose it. Some sorry excuse for a human has stolen my baby's stroller!
Coffee mugs and lunch containers for my husband and I got labeled now nothing should get lost at work either. I just thought of labeling my baked goodies containers....with bake sales and Christmas parties I've lost many great storage containers. The labels are fabulous on clothing and since it's winter weather that means gloves, hats, mittens, gloves, scarves, boots, snowpants, snow suits, jackets and/or parkas. All that means kids lose plenty. The clothing DOTS easily stick to clothing and are machine washable (I also had a hard time believing so I had to test it....and once again the promise was kept). I've also labelled my sons stay at school shoes with the fun shoe labels that have a protective layer so I'm sure they'll stay put too. I also got a hold of my husband hockey equipment .... as I know that stuff can get expensive fast if lost. Not only are Lovable Labels practical and fun... as I was looking through my sons school newsletter yesterday I noticed an ad from Lovable Labels and learned that this wonderful company works to help raise funds for schools just like my sons.
