feeling old today....

Todays my birthday :)

I should be feeling happy. 

I should be feeling spoilt.

I should be feeling lucky.

And i am, really. It's just that i'm also feeling old. And i'm not ready to start feeling old yet! I think that this last pregnancy knocked me around a bit and i'm beginning to realise that i REALLY need to start looking after myself.

I got spoilt this morning with a wake -up Happy Birthday song and breakkie in bed!

Excuse the bed air and the bags under my eyes. If i'd really thought about it i could've jumped up and fixed my hair (and my top...ooops!) but really....this is real life people!

Afterward, my friens Bec came and picked me up and we met Rozzie for lunch at The House Of Gabrielle. I love it there....it's soooooo relaxing. Except for the 3 toddlers running around ;) Maybe that bits not so relaxing! 

But the celebrations actually started on Saturday when me, my sis and a few friends hit my Fave japanese restaurant for dinner, followed by the most AMAZING esspresso martinis at Alto's and then more drinks at the Casino.... too many drinks in fact.

 

My sister almost dropped the cake....which was a BASKIN ROBBINS ICE-CREAM CAKE!!!! With a tub of my fave flavours next to it....THANKYOU mum!!! (although i may not be thanking you next week when i step on the scales ;)

Esspresso martinis......heaven!

That may or may not be some tequlia in our glasses....

Then on Sunday we had a massive lunch at one of our favourite seafood places where the food is so so good and the serves are so so big! Perfect after a night out on the town ;)

 Oh..and there was more cake! Shared with my little bear who almost shares my birthday :)

So all in all i'd say i had a pretty good bday:) My kids made me some really cute gifts. i might try and take some pics to share if i think of it.

Happy birthday :-) I have followed your blogs for yrs, have always appreciated your creativity and admired your beautiful children. I just found a link to your old blog and noticed on the side the verbal abuse post and now I admire you even more. We have a great deal in common. It was painful for me to read even though I am no longer in such situations, and i completely understand how bad you feel for what your children endured. I know exactly. It takes a lot of courage to move on, especially with little support from the people who matter most, although mine, like yours, eventually came around. Thank you for writing that post, if it helps just one other person to recognize and seek help then you will have done a great thing.
Hugs and happiness xxxxlisa
