A year...already?

I'm not sure how, but 364 days have passed since the big 40. Not sure how they went by so fast. It's official, I'm in my 40's. I've been nursing a bum hip since August. I forgot two evening meetings for the kids in the same week!!! Drove to the wrong neighborhood to pick up Allison from mentor group. I feel like I could fall asleep sitting up with my arms crossed most days. I have two daughters that say, "Dude" and "like". And I realized last week that there is 18 years difference between my age and the age of my graduate student. I am now "the wise teacher". Supposedly filled with wisdom from my "years" of experience. I'm not sure but I'm thinking I liked it better when I knew next to nothing and could go hang with the grad students at the bar for a drink! Oh almost forgot to mention I'm considering going back to school! Yep for sure I'll be the oldest one there!

Happy 41!
