it's my birthday and i'll cry if i want to

today is my birthday. i am 27 years old. my husband pointed out the fact that, in just 13 more years, i (we, since he is only 6 days younger than me) will be 40. over the hill! 13 years is not a long time you know. by then eli will be almost 15. anniston will be almost 20. and we will be parents of teenagers. it's all quite scary isn't it? birthdays used to be a little more exciting and fun than this, that is if i remember correctly. now that i'm a mom, my children's birthdays are a lot more exciting than my own. bUT i did get treated to a nice birthday breakfast (well, brunch) @ IHOP. happy birthday to me!
