So, yesterday was the big day. 30 came and went with little fanfare, and that was nice. Although, my party isn't until tomorrow night, so that's when I really get to deal with how old I am...
Anyway, Natahle took me to a great sushi lunch yesterday at Wasabi's. It was delicious! Our server was a sweetie, but a bit naive. And here is my reasoning for this:
Natahle mentioned it was my birthday and the fact that I was 30 got thrown in there somehow. Adia was with us, being adorable and ornery as usual. First, our server won points for being shocked that I was 30, because she said I didn't look it at all. But, she then lost all points when she got this amazed look on her face, pointed to Adia and said "You're 30 and she's your only child?" She said it with such innocence, that I knew she wasn't trying to be rude or hurtful, so I just smiled and said yes. But inside, for a few seconds at least, I wanted to cry.
And that's it. It's not the turning 30 that is hard for me. It's what I wrote before about turning 30 and not being PG. And it was especially hard since AF showed a few days prior. But it isn't easy telling this to people. One, it makes me more vulnerable than I am comfortable with (even though I try to be open about it) and two, many people don't want to hear it because, really, what do you say to that?

people are so insensitive and/or clueless! i can imagine it would make you feel like crying. what an arse. i'm sorry, but that has to be a 'small town' kind of comment. i've never heard that and i'm already 31 with "only 1 child".
Happy 30th!
Exactly. I thought it was really odd too.
