THOUGHTS AT 31. AND THE WINNERS!

Today's my birthday. I'm 31. THIRTY ONE! How in the world did I get here?! But it's cool, I'm totally fine with it.

Today was a good day, a little wonky, but mostly good. The wonky parts, you ask? It poured rain here this morning. Like POURED.  So I did what any mother would do on her birthday while it's raining cats and dogs. I changed all the bedding. But the only problem was that when I got up to Nugget's top bunk to wrestle with that fun, the ceiling fan nearly took me out and left me with a sweet little goose egg on my forehead. Whatevs. Whatchya gonna do? Also, rumor has it that lightning took out a TMobile tower in our area, so I currently cannot receive or make phone calls and texts. How did we ever survive before this day in age? Hope it's fixed soon. At least I've still got the Internet :)

The good parts? A garage sale, lunch out with my littles, surprise cupcakes, a nap with my Otto man, T-ball being cancelled, surprises from my fam.

I totally feel weird taking selfies. And I take like twenty before I'm finally semi-satisfied with one. But I wanted to capture myself today, myself at 31. (Pre-goose egg.)

I wanted to do something fun/special for a birthday blog post...my initial thought was to share 31 things I've learned along the way, but who am I kidding? 31 is A LOT of things to think of!

So I decided upon doing a "Currently" post, as that seemed fitting to capture what I'm thinking at this stage of my life.
