Lots going on in my world, but nothing earth-shattering.I have one child at home and he does one sport. I don't know how working parents with more than one child do it. I truly can't imagine the logistics.
Michael has an appointment today regarding his new prosthetic and so I let him sleep a little bit this morning. Yesterday was hectic, between school and tennis practice, then Colton came over for dinner and to help Mike with his math.
We watched a cute movie, Mr. Popper's Penguins, last night. Michael liked it. I enjoyed it. I'm not sure why it didn't do better at the box office, but if you have younger kids, it's entirely appropriate, so I can recommend it without reservation.
I was puzzled by how aged Jim Carrey looks, in the face. He is the same age as me. Makes me wonder if I will look like a wrinkled hag if I lose too much weight?!?
The number 50 is looming out there, this summer, and I am dreading it. I am not vain about my looks [lord knows I have no reason to be] but it's more that I'm aghast at how quickly it has all passed, all these years. I look at photos of myself in high school and college and I think ah, there I am, that's me. Then a mean little voice in my head says THINK AGAIN, YOU OLD BAT.... :-(
Yesterday was a very nice day at work. I can't go into details, but it was pleasant. I had kind of a stressful day Monday, running around the courthouse, so I was ready for a break. A legal career is not for the faint of heart, as it can be very stressful sometimes. It helps a lot if you work with nice people.
I have a bird's nest on the outside sill of my window, and the birds serenade me every morning. There will be no sleeping late for me in the near future.
My mother got some bad news yesterday and was quite upset. Please keep her in your prayers. She has had a very stressful past year. Getting old ain't for sissies, as Bette Davis once quipped.
