Can you tell I have nothing else to do today?

Yeah, work is a little slow. Three posts in one day is unheard of around here. Typing makes me look busy though.

I am 11 days away from having a child in second grade. Well, I suppose technically that doesn't really happen until September, but still. First grade is about to end. I am way to young to have a child in second grade. WAY too young. I look at the other parents at the school events and the birthday parties, and I'm certain they are older than me. Unfortunately, it's not very likely. It's not like I was 21 when I had my kids. I was 30 for crying out loud!

I don't think I have ever felt my age. When I was younger, I wanted to be older. Acted older. Felt older. Now, I feel like I'm closer in age to my twenty-something co-workers than other parents even though I'm constantly reminded of my responsibilities. I can't make the happy hours because I've got birthday parties to plan and babysitters to relieve. I can't go to the inter-company football game because I have a first grade play to attend. Not that I'm complaining...entirely. I just wish there was time to work it all in.
