26 things about being 26

I've been 26 for a whole day so far, and I already have 26 things say about it.  Most of this is idle ramblings because I have bloggers block. 

1.  I've not had to cook the entire time I've been 26.  That trend will end when Ethan wakes up in the morning...but it was a nice break while it lasted.
2.  The filter that stops me from saying EXACTLY what is on my mind, EXACTLY when it comes to my mind has completely stopped working. 
3.  The dark cloud that has been hanging over our family since April 15th went away yesterday.  So 26 has been dark cloudless.   That will make sense to those who know the attack we have been under since April 15th.
4.  My son is much more handsome since I've been 26...and tomorrow he will be even cuter.  I'm a psychic.  I don't see his cute/handsome streak anytime soon. 
5.  I'm an emotional train wreck. 
6.  I'm still truly, madly, deeply (shout out to savage garden) in love with my husband.
7.  I want to be the mother of multiple children more than ever.
8.  It still overwhelms me that God has entrusted me with Ethan.  I am soooo thankful for this gift.
9.  I have a HUGE desire to be a better mother at 26 than I was at 25.
10.  I have a HUGE desire to be a better wife at 26 than I was at 25.
11.  I have a HUGE desire to be a better person at 26 than I was at 25.
12.  Pink is still my favorite color.
13.  I love black nail polish on others and hate it on me.  Yes, I painted my nails black for the first time during my first 2 hours of being 26. 
14.  The older I get the shorter my hair gets. 
15.  American Eagle is not cool, and Mast General Store is.  Proof positive I'm growing up.
16.  I have not conquered the "yes" syndrome.  I just don't enjoy telling people "no, sorry I can't". 
17.  I haven't clipped any coupons since turning 26.
18.  I've not gained any weight since I turned 26.  Let's all rejoice in miracles!
19.  I've not lost any weight since I turned 26.  You can stop rejoicing now.
20.   I've been exhausted the entire time I've been 26. 
21.  I love funny people and don't enjoy boring people and I'm not afraid to say it.  Refer to number two if I've hurt your feelings.
22.  I had hoped I would overcome my addiction to "Real Housewives of Every County" but I haven't.
23.  Allen and Ethan got new shoes on my birthday and I did not, and I will rub that in their face every chance I get to prove I'm not selfish.  Which will annoy them...which will make me happy.  Gloating over non selfishness is not selfish is it?
24.  I'm getting "set in my ways".  Sooo that boils down to the fact that it's my way or the highway.  I need to work on that. 
25.  Insomnia is still running wild during my 26th year of life.
26.  The end.
