29

Twenty-nine years ago my mom was pregnant and ready to pop with her second baby. Sixteen years ago I received Mr Bear as a gift. Thirteen years ago I was finally allowed to date (though I had dated before). Nine years ago I moved out of California to Norfolk, Virigina to live with my then husband, that was also the time I became pregnant with my daughter. Eight years ago I was legal to drink but was breastfeeding a three month old. Four years ago I had a big birthday part because I was moving out of the state/country. Two years ago, I was planning and executing a girl scout meeting and getting ready for Girl Scout Cookie Site Sales. One year ago, I was planning and executing a girl scout meeting, getting ready for Girl Scout Site Sales and on bed rest while preparing for a new baby. Today I will be 29.

What do I feel or say or do? Is this my last year of making bad decisions or do I have to be a grown up all the time? What does one do at age 29? Maybe its the beginning of the rest of my life....

Most probably I am thinking way more then I should right now because I feel old, but not as old as YOU reading this because lets face it... YOU HAVE TO BE OLDER THEN ME... right??
