Birthday expectations

Ugh, My birthday is less then a week away... it's not the age that bothers me, but that feeling of not accomplishing things that I imagined I would have by now. I always put a hard expectation upon myself, and then I get depressed when I don't meet them... How can I over come that?
Birthdays to me feel like a new beginning like if it were New Years and you make goals, and when each birthday comes around I'm disappointed in myself.
I'm going to try to be postive, because I know that things could be so much worse. I have a blessed life. I have a wonderful loving husband, 2 healthy fun-loving dogs, and beautiful home. I have family and friends that are so supportive, and I have my health.


Any how, I'm going to have fun celebrating!

A jamble of thoughts...

My thoughts are all over the place, but I wanted to get a few of them down.
Oh my goodness this past week has been awful with both Tim and myself sick with the Nami virus. Nami virus is like influenza, but supposedly milder symptoms... We were coughing, sneezing. I ran a fever for 5 days. The only thing we could do to cope with it was cough syrup/lozenges, aspirin, and sleep. There were moments where I woke up and didn't know what day it was... we were delirious. On the plus side we spent the time together.


Just recently a friend and I have decided that we want to get together once a week at least and make crafts of every media; (paper, wood, paints, stamping, etc.) which makes me so excited. I need something like this to get me out of non-social life. I've been working on some wooden clovers, and the words "Kiss Me" for fun St. Patrick's decor in the home.

Also recently Tim and I have been making big financial decisions. Tim was blessed to receive a bonus, and with such we wanted to refinance our home, but because of where the value of our home and what is still owed; we'd have to pay too much out of pocket. So the next thing is the roof. Our roof needs a major makeover so we've begun getting quotes from several roofing companies to get a fair price, and loyal/great service. It really makes me nervous to spend that kind of money, but it is a necessary investment. I'll also have a ease of mind knowing my roof is protecting us.
