My birthday is in 6 days. Please, send jewelry.
Here is what I have learned this last year:
I am a tough woman.
I am not unlovable after all.
Sometimes you really need to just shut up.
You need to give as good as you get.
My God loves me.
My kids respect me.
Remember.
Sometimes you just need a big, fat cry.
I learned I can write. Well.
I learned I am too irresponsible to own a dog. But not cats or rabbits.
I learned how to be good.
I know how to get a grip.
I learned that if you let them, others will care too.
I learned my mom and dad are the strongest people on this planet.
I learned I have a lot of great people in my life, people who push me, encourage me and want me to be my very best.
I learned I can be a huge, giant jackass.
I learned that sometimes I like that.
I learned that medifast is the best stuff on earth.
So are ribeye steaks.
I witnesses my kids sprout this year.
I witnessed them become loving, good children.
I learned that my kids always made me happiest.
Now I learned I can make myself that way, even when they are little jerks.
I learned I can teach very, very well.
I learned not to brush my teeth with cranberry shampoo, nor put wax in my hair.
I learned to never, EVER use icy hot, Ben gay or any other such product. EVER!
I learned I am really proud of me, because my life is not always easy.
I learned you should really stop the selfish stuff. Well, at least I KNOW that now.
I learned I can stop dang near anything I want to stop. Danged near.
I learned I am strong and have a lot of guts.
I learned that I am vulnerable and weak.
Sometimes you just need to save.
Sometimes you just need to be saved.
I learned I am a very blessed girl, to have the one's who love me, love me so very much. And the one's who hate me be so few and far between. I have learned I am stronger that I thought, smarter that I thought, and am a fantastic mother. I have given back this year, as much as I took. I have felt loved, appreciated and cared for. I have had amazing trips, fantastic experiences and loads fun. I have laughed more, played harder, and felt so very much alive. I have learned your 30's are SO much better than your 20's.
And because of all of this, I look forward to my next year with just as much hope and excitement as I looked forward to this last one with.
34 I am ready for you, bring it on.
