Mindy's Non-Adventures

So this was a momentous week for me. I officially turned 30. I can truly say I didn't even blink an eye at the event. I've joked around with Mr. Incredible for years that I've been living the life of a 30 year old throughout my entire 20s. I just look at the next decade as a do-over. Now the really exciting thing that happened this week is that my husband bought me a plane ticket to.....MAUI!!! I get to go to Hawaii in a few months to visit one of my best friends from college!  We've tried to go to Hawaii together for nearly as long as we've been married, but things would always get in the way. Whenever we'd plan to go we'd either buy a house, have a baby (times 3), or sell house. Not much room for taking a jaunt across the world when you're having kids or making major financial moves every few years. Knowing that I've ALWAYS wanted to travel, but have never had the opportunity, my wonderful husband made it a priority for me to live this dream.     ...

   Unbeknownst to you, this is my second blog post in the past week. I spent an hour writing one last week that was somehow deleted by blogpost >:-(.  In my shallow frustration, I refused to rewrite the entire thing so the world will never know how my last week went.  It's just as well because this post will be much better anyway!     Too many things have been pulling pieces of my time away from me! I think there's enough time in the day for me to do what needs to be done, but I don't have the energy for it all!  Mr. Incredible is home in the mornings and doesn't have to be at work until 3pm. I love having him around, but since this is our family time, it's hard to get the cleaning and schoolwork done in the morning. So...it get's pushed to the afternoon, and I'll be honest. My energy levels plummet in the afternoon. The baby is taking a nap, half the time Miss Firecracker needs a nap too, and the sleepiness is contagious! ...
