I’m a wife and mom of two daughters. My daughters are 12 years apart so that keeps me quite busy and a little crazy at times. My life is a jumble of mixed up mishaps, but it’s always centered around my family.
Dinner Out
March 10th, 2008 by Connie RobertsTomorrow is my birthday. It’s the big 45. For some reason the number 45 is stressing me out a bit. It’s putting that number and me together in a sentence – I’m 45 now. Yikes! I had a really bad 40th birthday. Besides reaching that milestone of no longer being in my 30′s it was just a few days later that I got the diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis.
Talk about a downer. I can look back on it now and laugh, knowing what I know now. But it was pretty devastating then. I remember driving to go pick up some take in from a franchise restaurant because I felt too tired to eat at the place. My Mom was in the car with me. I said that I felt like I had to hold up my right eyelid. It felt weird and I was so tired all the time.
We joked about how turning 40 was hitting me big time. It sure did, but in more ways than I knew then. This year though I can celebrate. I’m at peace with the health issues I have. I know I have good and bad days but I have so much more appreciation for life and the things I used to overlook before the diagnosis.
I hope to have dinner out this year, not tomorrow night as Peanut has to get to bed early for the FCAT tests, but coming up soon. And I plan on having a great time and enjoying each minute.

Happy early bday sweetie! I’m sure you’ll hear from me again before tomorrow ends.
Have hubby take you out to someone absolutely fantastic! Do I see Rainforest Cafe in your future?

Well, happy birthday Connie! I’ve also written how I’m going to feel when I reach 40. But looking at your success, I’m going to let 40-something happen with open arms.
Here’s to life! *toast*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Gosh… remember when 30 was old? With the big 4-0 heading my way in a few years, I’ve now decided that 80 is old, ha, ha. Hope you get all your wishing for!

Thanks all for the birthday wishes! I had a fabulous day with my family. My older dd is coming home the end of this week and we’ll probably go out to dinner. Hubby owes me an Anniversary and B-day dinner. So we’ll be going out alone too!
45 isn’t bad at all. I thought it would be worse but it’s OK. I feel good in my skin LOL.
