What's going on...

So much is happening, and it seems I have few free moments. I have been writing so much for class that I don’t have any time to write on here!
Finally, the semester is over, and today will be my last day of work for a few weeks which is nice, if it weren’t for the fact that I could use the money. Hopefully, I will be getting a night job soon so that I can continue on in the manner that I have grown accustomed to!
My oldest son will be graduating from 6th grade in a couple of weeks, and I am feeling really old. The last few years have really pushed me into that middle age bracket, and I don’t know how I feel about that! I still have friends that are quite young, and some of my friends my age don’t even have any kids. Sometimes I get a little jealous, especially when they tell me about dodge ball games, softball, paddling, improv theatre, independent film outings, nights out watching a band play, and trips to Vegas. Sometimes I wish I had done some of that before rushing into the mommy role. Then sometimes, I look at them and I forget about all that and enjoy our outings together. I enjoy the camping trips, Disneyland, trips to the zoo, and Disney movie nights. I love when they kiss me on the cheek before bedtime. And I swell with pride when I look at my sons and sometimes see a glimpse of the men they are becoming. I have liberal views on politics, I believe in the power of women, I hope for the future of our country while realizing it’s going to take a lot of work, pray for the men who are fighting a war that has been going on for hundreds of years, and hope that I’ll be able to change just a little corner of the world. All of this, I’m passing onto them, and that gives me such great joy. Those are the times when I don’t forget about my age, but I do realize that I just don’t care as much.
