Birthday Wish: No pooping in the tub

Well, that wish WASN'T granted!

Today of all days "IT" finally happened. After my morning walk I gave Ella Bella a bath and when it was time to drain the water something happened. At first it was funny, "Oh, Ella Bella you tooted in the tub," and she just smiled. I turned to get a towel and there it was, for the first time ever: poop in the tub.

Poor Steve, I tried my best to clean it out but I already had the water draining, which made the poop get stuck and ah, it's just too gross to think about but apparently not too gross to write about. Sorry for that guys! So now when Steve gets home I have high hopes that he can help me get the tub poop-free.

In other news...I don't really know what the whole "Mid-Life Crisis," entails but I wonder if I've gotten a bite? All I know it that the reality of the BIG 30 is closer than ever. In an effort to better myself my friend Daryl and I take our kids with us walking a few times a week. Today my legs were so sore, that must be good right? Feel the burn. I didn't realize just how out of shape I was. I get to hang out with 12-18 yr olds at church and at our "Young Women's" activities, I know they are partly why I feel so young at heart.

Another friend of mine, Cindy, took me out for my birthday to her favorite French restaurant.
Cutest gal I know! and she was even well behaved...thank you Gabriella

Thank you mom and dad for the birthday call, I really appreciated it.

I love you and thanks for making me feel special.

I sure hope the Drano works...Anybody have any advice on getting poop out of the drain?

Here is my birthday slice of cake from the restaurant. I just finished eating it, so amazing!!! (more walking tomorrow)




And finally...sleeping off the calories, sounds good to me!
