BIRTHDAY BLUES

Besides our neighbor friends Jess and Scott, dad and I are a rare breed up here in our neighborhood and town. Older parents with a young kid.

This afternoon I got together with my friends for a glass of wine before picking up the kids from school and the topic of discussion was birthdays. Apparently quite a few of us have January birthday. Now mind you, at 53 years of age, I am old enough to be the mom of some of these ladies and they all act like they are over the hill at 35! It was pretty depressing to listen to them talk about how old they are. Finally I could not take it any longer so I let them have it! Told them "You should all be ashamed of yourselves acting as if your life is over. Look at me! I'm 53 and still going strong. I think I'm doing pretty damn good for an old broad! Not only that, I getting ready to have another kid!"
