No, really! I am! Yesterday, April 1st, was my 31st birthday. I am officially IN my thirties. Blah. Let's just say that an having an unplanned pregnancy, being tremendously overweight, battling Pregnancy Acne, and driving myself out to the Olive Garden at 8:00 pm on my birthday for some tiramisu were NOT part of my vision of myself at 31. 
I mean, my 30th birthday last year held such PROMISE, what with the kissing from college boys (I had a blinking pin on my shirt that SAID, Kiss Me, I'm 30...okay???), the drunken hugging, and the jello shots for me AND my mom (like mother, like daughter, right?)...
But anyway...

I am in the midst of decorating many cakes, learning to make my own fondant for cakes, taking a cake decorating class, AND am nursing a new addiction to cakecentral.com. The obsessive compulsiveness, it encompasses every area of my life, friends.
******************************************************************
I was once again missing in action from my blog (and all of yours!) last week, in part due to my Medication Incident. Here's the short version...
...Forgot to refill *Lexapro*.
Felt okay.
Decided since I was off, to just stay off and save NINETY DOLLARS A MONTH.
On day three of being off the meds, I began being INCREDIBLY BITCHY, TEARY, AND HORMONAL, and began wanting to stay in bed all day.
On day four, I had these weird dizzy spells, and it felt like my brain was short-circuiting about every twenty minutes. Weird.
Google *Lexapro Withdrawal*.
Uh-oh.
Refill meds immediately.
Feeling better now.
So here's a tip for all of you taking meds...DON'T DO THAT. Trust me.
******************************************************************
I live in fear (Yes! Fear!) that you will all stop coming to my blog because 1) I am boring these days and 2) I rarely post anymore. Please come back!!! My Stat counter used to have about 500 hits a week, and now I'm down a few hundred and falling.
I really do have some ideas for good blogs coming up...
*Garrett's birth story
*Laura's birth story
*Baby names!!
*Home school vs. Public school
*Cake pictures
*My elementary school, junior high, high school, and college years...WITH PICTURES!
*An open letter to a certain administrator in a certain school district where I may have worked once.
So stay tuned...I'm trying to get back on the blogging bandwagon!

when i found out i was pregnant with zoë, i went off of my cocktail of effexor, lithium, seroquel and clonazepam cold turkey. lets just say that i didn't move for 3 weeks, was put on bed rest ue to dangerously low blood pressure and lost 6 pounds in all-day morning sickness. that was the first two weeks.
you make me want to bake more often. so i'll definately keep reading because you're great inspiration.
We are still here!
My 31st was not that exciting either...and my 30th I was pregnant. Not fun.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Happy belated birthday! April 1st is my nephew's birthday too! Too bad you didn't ask someone about coming off meds cold turkey b/c I could certainly tell you some horror stories, lol. I know better than that now :-) I check your blog everyday along with the others that I read. I think most of your readers know you have a lot on your plate right now and would be willing to cut you some slack. Going to check out that cake site now, thanks :-)
I'm still here!! I've been a blog slacker the last week or so, too.
Happy Belated Birthday!!
Still here!
The closer I get to forty the more I want to FORGET birthdays!
I'm still here and I check EVERYDAY! So don't you worry.
My 30th and 31st birthday weren't all that fun now that I think about it. Happy Belated Birthday!
And man, you are one busy lady, no wonder you have been MIA in blogworld. We understand however, but you could totally make it up to us by showing us pictures! And lots of em!!
Happy Belated Birthday! I'm still here...waiting! I'm looking forward to those posts!
I'm here and always will be girl. I've been in a blogging slump as well mainly because I just haven't had the time. I'll blog when I can and I know my faithful readers (all five of them) will stick with me.
Consider me a faithful reader. I'll always stick with you. I blog at work so I'm still amazed that you SAHMs can EVER find time to put together a good post. But you do.
And those pics are too funny. Which one is your mom? The one in the bright blue shirt?
Shit. And also HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy birthday!! My mom's an April fool as well. How fun.
Glad you got caught up with your meds. Sounds awful!!
Don't worry - you won't lose your readers. We love you!!
Though I'm waiting for a belly picture still...
I want to hear about the certain letter, district etc. Maybe we could do a team post about idiotic letters, cause I certainly have a couple from a couple of admins. I read your blog everyday & not going anywhere. Well can't wait for a new cake creation.
Ahhh, I think you're hilarious and I'll always come back. You rock, even if you're 31. Heehee. :)
Happy belated birthday, Stacey. And don't worry; we will always come back! We're all too curious about baby names not to.
Seriously, you're a great writer. We know you've got juicy stuff in store.
Happy Birthday Stacey! You keep everyone laughing,it's addictive. I will be back too.
happy belated birthday, darling! don't worry - your 32nd birthday will be a blast - it has to be!
stay on those drugs and keep us posted!
xoxo,
jenn
