No U-Turns

OK, so 39 isn't that bad so far. I only have one child who refuses to go to school this morning, there was no hot water to take a early shower and the dog just tried to bite off my hand while I was trying to remove a sanitary napkin from his mouth. Yeah, its going good so far. ( do other peoples dogs do this? Its a very common occurrence here, very disgusting I might add)

Its so nice that facebook reminds everyone of birthdays. Of course I have my birthday year set at like 1994 or something so I will only be turning 15 this year.....( yeah, I know I already let it slip that I'm 39!)

My daughter asked me if I felt old this morning and I have to admit that it didn't feel as bad as I thought it was going to. Of course next year will be another story. My sister reminded me in a card that I had only 364 days left in my thirties.....lets hope they go slow.

The thirties aren't that bad. While looking through everyones facebook information its interesting to see where everybody is at in their lives. Its also interesting to see what paths people chose to take. There are new moms with new babies, ones like me with children graduating, a few who are grand-parents already. There are people who were crazy in high school who are now missionaries and Reverends. A few are still taking classes to get degrees, business owners and a few adventure seekers. What wild roads we have to choose from.

It seems like its never to late to take another path. The road you start on doesn't have to be the path you finish on. There is always detours to take and pitfalls to avoid..but never U-turns. You cant go back and change the things you have done only move forward. Maybe not in a straight line, what would be the fun in that?

Soooo, I'm going to go out to breakfast, leave my youngest home to sleep (because school is soooo hard and wearing on her, yeah whatever) and enjoy my birthday. I'm going to look down a few roads and try to figure out which road wants to lead me into my 40's. I'm sure there will be a few rest stops along the way..a few detours...hopefully an adventure of two.....and I have exactly 364 days to figure out the map.....
