Crazy. Crazy. Crazy.
Today I ran into an old friend I grew up with. She's a year older than me & she was carrying her newborn son. Crazy. My best childhood friend is pregnant with her 2nd child. Crazy. Another wonderful friend of mine from school is going through infertility treatments & desperately wants a baby. Crazy.
Today I Skyped with my darling 20 year old as she's studying abroad in Spain. Today I took my 18 year old daughter to have her nose pierced. Today I listened to my 12 year old son bang away on his drums, imagining himself to be Niel Pert.
This decade will bring these friends of mine pacifiers & playdates. I'm thrilled for them, I loved that time in my life, but I've been there & done that. Suddenly, my birthday doesn't seem quite so ominous.
Bring it!
