Birthday Wishes..30 Years Old

Thank you for all your birthday wishes. They say 30 is the new 20, Ha I sure hope so...honestly, what a milestone! I remember when thirty seemed so far away and so OLD! Well guess what it wasn't so far away and kids no its not that "OLD"! Although, my cosmetics have changed over the last few years from acne control to "Age Defying" and Wrinkle Reducing and Collagen Filling. At one time I had maybe two things I needed. (cleanser & moisturizer) now it seems like I have ten products and need even more! You got to love when you go to the cosmetic counter at the department stores and they ask you what you use. Even if they are the same person who sold it to you.. "they act shocked "oh you don't have___"You need something else to add to your regimen! OK ladies you know what I am talking about!  Before my last baby people asked, "You have how many kids?" or "how old where you when you got married?" (code for maybe we can do the math to see how old she is)..LOL..  But at the beginning of this year I swear my body got word t was hitting the big 3-0. And bam like a comet from the sky it hit me. Wrinkles, dark circles, the "girls" falling, and every piece of chocolate I eat ending up hanging out for a while. Now, I know the tricks & "Hollywood Secrets" to hiding most of these imperfection
s. But you know what I am a mom my family comes first so there you go! On most days you stop by my house before noon I'm in sweats, no make-up, my hair in a clip and I'm probably running around like a mad woman. Well..Guess what?  From today on I'm not going to apologize. I'm going to embrace it, dang it! I'm 30 now! I have had 6 kids .. there are days I will get all dolled up for my husband and he might even think I look sexy, but come on really?I'm just going to say it.. Any mother, taxi cab (or mini van) driver, short order cook, maid, referee, teacher, tutor, seamstress, wife, errand running, calling holder, woman is NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE THE COVER OF GLAMOUR MAGAZINE at all time! Just saying..Is it just me?? well anyways I'm glad my husband doesn't mind me whatever way I am no matter how OLD I get :)
