30. (see the crows feet? not from years in the sun, no...years of wisdom, my dear.)
11 years married too.....
i remember when my mom turned 30, she was crying. i was 7 (i think).
i turned 30 in december...no big deal.

really i turned 30 on Christmas day, it pretty much gets forgotten.
i'm suddenly reflecting back on the years. most of which have been a blur. (i have pictures, they help remind me)
you go through a quarter life crisis of sorts (i'm living till 120 for sure).
i think its just now hitting me b/c i'm DONE having children. (don't hold me to that...you never know...pretty sure i'm done though- eric says i am with this husband)
usually when the youngest nears 2 you try and pump yourself up for the next one.
instead i'm thinking about everything i've not done.
i'm ready to be a bit selfish......
the CRISIS part is i don't know how i'm going to do it.
i don't want to go to school- to much work.
i don't want to organize my house- i don't know why, i should, but i just don't want to.
i've always exercised b/c its my job.
but i've never really just done it for ME.
so thats what i'm doing for now, i'm sure it looks a bit obsessive to others....but i'm having fun and learning new things about myself.....
while i figure out all my other "quarter life issues"
if you've done this already, the crisis part, - give me some advice. i love pearls of wisdom.

In a way don't you feel a relief of saying you are done having kids? I know that sounds bad, but i think when we decide that we are done, it will feel like, to me, when I stop nursing.... like oh wow I have a bit of my self back. Does that make sense? Well, who knows how it will feel but I can understand the "crisis" part. I think we all go through that in some way.
Your family is beautiful, you should be so proud.
ps-when are you starting your classes at 7:30pm?
Good for you for wanting to finally do something for yourself. I have no advice, since I'm not there yet. However, I also want to be DONE having children by age 29. I think I can do it. That is such a good picture of you and Eric.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! OH WAIT ANNIVERSARY. I'm confused. you said 30 and 11 years. i guess i need to re read.
We're not done having kids yet so I have no input for you.
Maybe you should take a night at a resort all to yourself, all by yourself, lounge in a tub of mud and get a massage to clear your mind.
Then remind yourself that you have the BEST job in the world, motherhood.
AND -
With the shape you are in, I can see you still traveling the world when your in your 80's. You'll be the rock climbing/hang gliding grandma that makes the news!
HA!tawna... i read this comment after i just did my new post! i am actually getting a facial- you know for the crows feet. i'm ignoring email and phone calls too (crisis)- thats why i haven't anwsered yours yet- you still love me right?=)
Of course, you're forgiven.
Enjoy the facial!
I've NEVER had one....
I've had a professional massage ONE time. L-O-V-E-D I-T.
i'm too old to be done having children by age 30, or by age 29 like celeste said... oh well, bring on the crow's feet.
