My last two birthdays all I wanted was for someone to take my kids and let me sleep. No cards, no presents, nothing except for my head on a pillow for AS. LONG. AS. POSSIBLE.
The first year I actually ditched everyone and went to my parents house. I wasn't in my own bed, but I didn't care. Nothing was getting in my way of a full night sleep. And to guarantee my sweet slumber, I took melatonin AND a sleeping pill. My head might have been fuzzy, but I slept for 10 hours straight!
The second year I slept at home, but dh kept both monitors on his side of the bed. And in the morning, all three of them brought me breakfast in bed.
This year, I decided to go with the "celebrate all weekend" type of birthday. As it turns out, it's actually quite easy when your birthday falls on a Sunday (somehow makes it less noticeable, and therefore easier, to sneak in those extra days).
On Thursday I went to a sample sale at my very favorite clothing store (check it out here) and bought myself a new dress. And when dh got home from work, he took the kids on a drive so I could take a bath.
On Friday we had a family day, just the four of us hanging out.
On Saturday dh and I went out to dinner at a fondue restaurant.
And yesterday we celebrated my actual birthday with dinner and homemade carrot cake with coconut cream cheese frosting at my parents' house.
By the time today rolled around, I wasn't sure what to do with myself.
Maybe next year I'll celebrate for 5 days!

Hey, a belated happy birthday to you! New dress? Family day? Dinner out? Cake with the parents? You know how to celebrate! I turn 34 in a couple weeks, on a Thursday. Maybe I can do an extended weekend celebration... Hmm... you've got me thinking...
Again, happy birthday and glad it was great!
