I'm 32

On Sunday we celebrated my 32nd birthday. The day was suppose to be quiet and relaxing, but it started with a party in Ava's room at 4am. She woke up crying and of course Rich didn't hear her, so I had to comfort her. I was able to get her back to sleep but she woke up again around 6:45am and Rich was getting ready for his meeting so I had to get her again. Normally I wouldn't mind, but I was hoping to have a nice peaceful sleep for my birthday...I guess you never get a break from being a mom.

After this early wake-up call I was tired, but able to enjoy the rest of my day. Rich took charge of Ava and let me have the rest of the day to relax. During one of her naps he even gave me a nice foot massage. For dinner he made me one of my favorites avocado burgers and since my mom made me a cake he promised to make one the following weekend.

Before bed I opened my gifts (I like to wait and savor the moment). I got two 1/2 pound boxes of See's Candy. One box was full of my very favorite, milk chocolate chocolate buttercream. The other box was a variety of the other kinds that I like. I also got a new can opener. I know, I know, that doesn't sound exciting, but it is!! Our old one has been giving me grief for the past 6+ months and making me angry everytime I use it. This new one is the leatherman of can openers with cool extra tools and will save me a lot of grief in the kitchen. Rich also gave me a card game because I love to play games.

All in all it was a good day.
