Twitchy McGee

So, my 30th birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. 30 - the magical age, where, according to my mother, us women will get a corn on our baby toe if we don't go up half a shoe size. Since I already went up half a shoe size after the birth of No.3, does this mean I now have to go up to 8.5?? Please God no. I'm staying at 8, corn be damned.
But do you know what I have developed over the last few weeks is a freaking TWITCH in my right upper eyelid. It comes and goes, usually when I am stressed or over-tired. And seeing how events over the last while have conspired to rob me of my precious sleep, my eyelid has been doing the riverdance constantly. And always while in public. I have to pretend I'm rubbing my eye to try to disguise the manic tic-ing.

So there you have it. Most women get a corn at 30, I get an eye twitch.

I saw it last last night, BeauSaxon, standing by your vehicle watching you stuff it full of clothes, toys and kids. It was like that guys' twitch on the Pink Panther ..

I noticed your twitch as soon as you tried to encourage Ryder to get in his car set and he started his infamous "who cares about it blah blah blah I don't like you go away" antics (all in one breath) - your eye started twitching and I remember looking down to see if your cheek was going to start up too!

LOL .. it's probably the number of kids. I, like Deanna, had three kids and we both got a corn on our foot when we turned 30 but you have four children so maybe that's where the twitch is coming from.

Totally LOL, RAOTFL.

Love you far too much, twitchy.

Blepharospasm - involuntery eye twitching. Now you can tell people you are "Blepharospasmic" instead of "premenstrual" when you have a bad day. It might scare them...ha ha

P.S. 30 is actually great. Instead of being an old 29 year-old, you get to start back at zero. It seems SO MUCH YOUNGER!

You two are hilarious. I'm def looking forward to being in my early 30s rather than my late 20s, haha.
