I NEED CPR!

Maybe it is the fact that I have spent the morning in a CPR class and just have hurting hearts on my brain, but I just made my own heart hurt...just now!

You see that little block on the right that says Blogoversary. Well, it is true, my one year anniversary of blogging on this little blog is just six days away. On one hand, I can't believe it, wow, that has been a fast year. And on the other, it seems like I have been writing here much longer than that!

But that is not the heart hurting part. I started this blog on September 1, 2007. My baby's third birthday. So, know what that means... yep, you guessed it. September 1, 2008 is her FOURTH birthday! HOW IN THE WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN?

I really am not ready to give up her babyhood yet. It makes me so sad. I am desperately trying to focus on the good parts of having an older child. She pottys by herself, can get her own juice, has a WIDE and VIVID vocabulary, dresses herself (well, her fashion sense is not yet all it can be...but that is another post entry!) brushes her teeth, combs her hair and the list goes on. But all those things, while great, just mean one thing - she needs me less and less.

Quick, call 911 and get the AED. I need those heart compressions - NOW! (see, I did learn something in that class!!)

Whoo, hoo - happy anniversary to me. I seriously hope I can celebrate her birthday with a bit more enthusiasm on Monday - cause right now.... I just want to sit on the floor and cry.

Living Happily Ever After (really, I am -- just having a bad day today!!) :-)
