I can’t beleive it yet but I’m turning 40 today!!!
Believe it or not I have sat down in the last few months to blog but always end up frustrated because of having trouble getting pics put on or that this “touchy” laptop I’m using ends up erasing half of what I was writing! My old dino desk top is having troubles and needs a new hard dive, so its just hard to get in the grove of blogging!
Life is flowing at a rapid pace as usual, every child in this house at a different stage
and I’m responsible for paying close attention to each one! i’m enjoying the stages mostly with a little fear along side too!
Schooling is going….well its March and we are to the countdown where it will only get more difficult to keep thier attention, we have done Abeka vidio school this year to which they have learned alot, but to which we are behind on their days! It’s great but for my 6 year old, it is just about too much time on her butt, she has way too much energy to sit still that long even with breaks! She is starting to read now and of course that is exciting!!!!!
Baby Faith is 21 months now and a FULL time job all by herself!
Can you believe she must have some kind of radar that I was in the next room actually blogging at 3:37 A.M. because she just woke up hollaring mom-mEE!
I got my hair done yesterday woot woot!
The gray is hidden with a caramel color that started out way too blonde! I think it scared the stylest! I SO wished I had taken a pic!!! I didn’t do anything drastic to it, just a trim up but I think it gives me lift!
Leah my oldest daughter (and the one thats ready to fly) wanted us to do lunch early for my B-day yesterday, so we went to Mexican. Always a treat! I think my days with her are numbered until she leaves the nest…so our times our precious!
As for today, after I go back to bed and sleep a little more, I’m planning on going to egg making at our church (we make Peanut Butter eggs for Easter) and taking all the girls. I think it will be a fun time for all, not to mention they always fix a delicious lunch for all the help!
DH is taking me out Friday nite for my B-day along with another couple from our church, I have no idea where we are going, its his surprise for me!
As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been having trouble making these pics work out right, so if this bedroom pic is in a wierd place, thats why! This is our bed that we got in January when we downsized from a king to queen.
thats all for now, Have a great day and tell me I look younger than 40!!!! LOL ~Jill~

Such a nice post. Love the bed spread and the pictures of you. I remember when I turned 40. Sigh.
Happy birthday! Have a great year.
Happy birthday! You do look young. That’s 29 years younger than me.
Happy Birthday Jill! Enjoy 40…….cause 45 is rougher!!!!! Or at least it has been for me.
Looking forward to getting my hair taken care of. Its all outgrown and shapeless…YUCK!
Enjoy those gals!

Concerning your comment: You are so kind, but I am not sure that I am getting better with age.
Happy Birthday. I hope to be in Waikiki in July for my 80th birthday.

Welcome to the 40′s club!!! it’s better than the 30′s!!!
You look great. I have 2 children that are now in their 40′s
Happy Birthday!
@floridayankees - ha!! I guess it didnt sound so well the way I put it!!!
Aww, Happy Birthday to you! You’re 40 and fab-u-lous, sista! You’re looking pretty darn good! Enjoy your birthday!
Well, you DO look younger than 40, so I wouldn’t worry about that number! Happy BIRTHday!!!!! You are still young enough to have plenty of fun for a long time, so make the most of it! And yes, spend as much precious time with your Leah before she flies off! She seems to be a beautiful girl, inside and out. Baby Faith is growing fast! She’ll keep you looking young, too, as long as you keep your gray covered! I hope your Friday night birthday dinner is lots of fun.
