You know you're 30 when...

You know you're 30 when...

• You aren't hungover on your birthday, because you didn't celebrate "power hour" the night before
• Your birthday morning is complete perfection with a cup of coffee and a birthday hug & "Happy Birthday" from your favorite 3-year-old
• You tell absolutely no one in the office that it's your 30th birthday...for fear you will be mocked when they realize how young you are
• You forget it's your birthday several times during the day
• You sing yourself "Happy Birthday" solo because your 3-year-old claims he doesn't know the words, but insisted on lighting the candles on the cake he made with Gramma (too sweet!), and it just didn't seem right not to sing when the candles were lit (Daddy wasn't home yet to participate)
  
• You go out for dinner on a Wednesday night and it is a really big deal
• You yawn through most of dinner, but not because of the company...but because you are really, really tired since your 3-year-old had an "accident" at 3:30 am and you were up until 5 am trying to fall back asleep
• You get a little bit jealous of the 20-something's sitting nearby who are also celebrating a birthday...but are drinking martini's, taking pictures, and are full of energy when they sit down for dinner starting at 9pm. Um, hello, that's bedtime, people.
• You consider asking for the manager when service is terrible, instead of having another drink and forgetting about it
• You have to be home by 9pm to relieve the babysitter
• You get home and consider logging on to work again because the excuse "I didn't review the contract last night because it was my birthday" doesn't typically fly in the real world
• You have learned just enough during your 20's to know that some things matter more than that, write a quick blog to document, and log off to cuddle with the hubs

Happy Birthday to me. Look out 30's...here I come. Cheers!
