Realizations of being forty


  • I went to Costco this morning with full blown bed head and I didn't care. Well, I cared but, I could care less that I didn't care. Just threw on a sweatshirt, some shorts and some flip flops and I was in the car and gone.
  • I am a giant scaredy cat. My Homeboy is gone for a few weeks on a trip and being in this house alone gives me the creeps. My boys are no help either. The other night the wind decided to pick up and the tree was brushing up againts the window. I called a twin in to help me investigate (I was sure it was a potential axe murderer). He walked in heard the sound and walked right out. Thanks Big Guy. Obviously, it wasn't an axe murderer, just silly wind.
  • Facebook really IS Mysp@ce for old people. But this old person diiiiiiigs it!
  • I question my ability to have a young baby. I have not been around babies in so long that I feel I might be out of my league. I mean I want a baby REALLY bad, I just am scared at the thought of not knowing what the hell I am doing. The boys were 2 1/2 when we adopted them and were already on sippy cups so they didn't need a bottle and I potty trained them about 6 weeks after coming home to us. I am worried I will be in over my head. Well, I guess I have a while to read up on Baby 101, right?
  • Eye cream. Don't go to bed without it.
  • I have the best group of girlfriends a person could ever have. Really, I am one lucky girl.
  • I will wear my retainers every night to the grave.
  • I would like to raise my next child like he did. Check out the trailer for this documentary of Doc P@scowitz and his family of nine children. I would not be as extreme (he was really extreme) but I can identify with his philosophy so much when raising children. The older I get the more I think I could actually homeschool my child. Not that I am going to do it.......but, sailing around the world with our kids would be an amazing childhood experience.
  • Girlfriends are entering the picture and I am so not ready for this.
  • If I didn't have kids in the house I am pretty sure I wouldn't ever turn on the television. I love quiet. I could just be happy with just my ipod or XM R@dio.
  • I never thought I would wish for a roof full of solar panels

I enjoyed reading your post. Haven't been around in a little while. Too much stuff going on but I pop by when I can.

I have become a Facebook addict. My friends keep growing. But it's a good way to keep in touch with people who have moved away or you don't see that often.

I hate being alone. Houses are scary when you're alone. We have an alarm system that I can set on night mode which I do when DH is away but I'm still so freaked that it's not going to work.

Don't sweat being over 40. Dh is almost 41 and is really hoping for a match with a 2 or 3 yr old. So not wanting to do the baby thing anymore and I kind of feel the same way.

Happy 40th to both of us. I was going through my old blog posts and came across a comment you left so I followed it back to your blog and got all caught up.

If I could handle becoming a first time mom at 42, you can handle a baby at forty, no problem. It keeps you young. I feel better than I have in a very long time. All will be ok and you will love every minute of it.
