Wednesday morning
Wow, you know what today is? My half birthday. I am officially 34 and a half now. Of course, I'm not going to tell people that. I don't know why I even think about it except that we always celebrated our half birthdays as children. Mom felt bad because our birthdays were so close to Christmas, and my brother's is actually on Christmas, so we always went out for ice cream for our half birthdays in the summer. My youngest daughter's birthday is December 20, and I know her half birthday is June 20, but I haven't taken the time to think about my other daughter's half birthdays. We don't celebrate them, or talk about them or even have the kids say they are whatever and a half.
These days I think of this as a half way mark, I have six more months to accomplish whatever I'm going to accomplish this year, while I'm 34, and after that, it'll be too late, I'll be 35.
It's funny too because this is the time I said was the last chance for me to have another baby. I think Leo and I have decided totally against another baby. We are very happy with our three, and Leo is somewhat concerned with my well-being, and doesn't want me to go through all that again, not to mention the taking care of everyone all day.
Last night, when I was putting the baby to bed, I stepped on one of her toys, and I have a bruise on my foot, right on the arch, it really hurts a lot. Fortunately, since it is on the arch, I don't really put a lot of pressure on it in normal walking, but that is almost a hazard as well because then when I do put some pressure on it, it's almost a shock. Of course, I've been fucking with it this morning, so I am very aware of how much it hurts right now. I'm not really sure what to do to fix it. I bruise very easily, so it's not unusual for me to have bruises all over, but for the most part, I have no idea where they came from and they don't hurt, but this one does, it really hurts a lot. I want to just prop my foot up on a pillow and be waited on all day... ha ha ha.
