The big birthday. Well, the big birthday in my eyes at least. For some reason 35 has always been a milestone for me. Maybe because 40 seems like the age when we are our parents. The kids are older and not quite as young and dependent on us. Maybe because it is some leftover perception from when I was young myself and 40 might as well have been 60 for all I cared or knew.

Before kids, I used to have daydreams of how perfect that first Parent/Teacher conference was going to be. After all, I was a little Ms. "had to be perfect" student so my conferences were usually pretty good. And then came my son. Little Mr. too-smart-for-his-own-good. His preschool teachers LOVED him.

Well, kind of on time. I only hit the snooze button once. (I was SO good when he first started school. We were always walking out the door early. Now we are rushing every day!).

School schedules, dinner, homework, bath and bedtimes. We do our best to spend time with our family, to make sure they are happy, and to do the best by them. The weeks are long and the years are short. Each time yearly events come back around, such as Halloween, we think of the last time we did the same event.

It is definitely one of my favorite places any time of the year, but tonight was especially fun.

I have a few favorite stores that I bookmark because I know that I will always be able to find a great gift for someone (or myself). One of my favorites of those stores is Redenvelope.com.

My heart and my mind have been persistent in thoughts of Jessica Ridgeway. And I have actually written three posts, but I can't seem to publish them. They seem too personal, too close to my heart. My fears typed out just didn't sit well with me.

I am having a hard time absorbing all that is happening in the Jessica Ridgeway case. All the things that are inferred but not said. All the accusations and questions that are being put out there.

Yep, Elmo will be saving the day at the Wells Fargo Theater and putting smiles on the kids faces. I am very excited to take the kids.

A pet peeve, really. It seems simple, but for me it is worse than fingers running over a comb (shivers just ran down my spine even thinking of that sound). I absolutely despise an unsharpened pencil.

The best of all things that have happened on Facebook is meeting some beautiful friends that are there for each other through thick and thin.

That is it. Three days until my son reached 100% attendance on his first track on for kindergarten. And then my husband got an abscess, which was a result of the virus that causes strep and his chewing habit that for some stupid reason he refuses to give up (even though I talk about cancer and issues such as this all the time.

Before I got out of bed, I had heard my phone beep a few times letting me know I had a text message. The first message that I got was from a friend asking me if my husband had gone to the movies last night and hoping he was home safe. I am not going to lie.

Quite silly, actually. 7-11. That is the date. Which means that today is free slurpee day at 7-11. Such a simple idea. But it got me to thinking. I really don't remember last 7-11, though I am one of those daily picture takers so I guess if I really wanted to I could search for pictures I took last year on this day.

I am SO excited to get back there as an adult as soon as I can and see if my belly still tickles and I still giggle with glee. It is the perfect family getaway? Is your family ready to escape the heat, breathe fresh Rocky Mountain air and save money on a summer getaway?

You know, the kind of addicted you become to a "Wedding Story" (is that still on) when you get engaged and "A Baby Story" when you become pregnant...especially the first time. Only, I have been married, for awhile, so I don't know why I care about Bridezillas so much. And no, I wasn't one.

I was ecstatic when I saw my first positive pregnancy test and glowing when I saw the next one. I have been there and done it all since then. The fevers, the tears, the first days, the milestones, the birthday parties and lessons.
