Last night I came upon a sad realization... I am no longer able to fit in with early 20's crowd. Yes I am still in my 20's and maybe it is because I am wise beyond my years (oh so I would like to think) with a 8 year marriage and 2 children. So, last night I went to dinner for my cousin Candice's 21st birthday. We were amongst family and some of her friends. As I was sitting in the middle of two groups... The early 20's crowd and the wise mother's group... I would listen to both conversations from both sides. In the midst of listening and somewhat interjecting with the early 20's group I would have to stop and reprimand Sassy and tend to Princess In Training. I all of a sudden got this feeling that I was too old to even sit near them... This epiphany really hurt! I may age gracefully, but being too old to hang with the youngin's makes me want to find that fountain of youth. I know I need to suck it up and just deal with it, but my mom rubbed off on me and I do not want to grow old! I want to be forever young... and I will darn you!
I am one happy mommy today! Want to know why? I have my lap top back! When I laid it on my lap it still fits like a glove! No more fighting for Eric's in between his trading research and reading sports articles. Why have I been without? Because someone or something broke my power cord. So, the highlight of my day was when my mom left my house and said, "You have a package from Dell?" WOO HOO!! I ripped open that box so fast that I now have a paper cut in the works to heal. I have already transfered my bookmarks and am saving so much more. Plus I can download whatever I want, because this is MY computer!! My computer is also faster, because Mr. Eric's sites for trading, and charts, etc. make his computer SSSLLLOOOWWW! So, I am sitting with one sleeping child and the other 2 children... I mean one child and one hubby at Disneyland... blogging for the day!
The labor day weekend is upon us and summer is as we know is O-V-E-R! I am excited for school to start, but my favorite season is ending! I am not looking forward to fall and winter! Especially the flu season! As I have said before I have the biggest phobia of all things Flu! Luckily Sassy has the immune system of steel like her father. I see dry, cracking hands in my future, since yes I will be washing my hands every chance I get during this time! Okay not all things during these seasons are bad... I mean my favorite shows are coming back, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, snow in the mountains, more trips to Disneyland.
Speaking of shows coming back... who here will be tuning into watching the new 90210? I admit it I already have it set to record. I grew up watching this show... as I look back I probably shouldn't have at the tender age of 11, because when Sassy is 11 I sure as hell won't let her watch it then. I even had all the barbie dolls. My fave of course was Brandon... I just love the smart ones! Fave girl? Of course Valerie... I know not an original, but she was all things I knew I never would be... dangerous, confident, bad ass! Another show coming back that I have to admit I watch? OTH, aka One Tree Hill! I thought I would be waiting for October, but the CW network must love me (okay I know I am not that important in the world of television) for coming back in the beginning of September!
Hope you are all having a wonderful Friday!

Well, you can hang out with the other 28 year olds...Tena and me!! :)
Glad your laptop is up and running again!
Also, I'm jealous that Angela and your DH got to go to Disneyland...we're planning on going in October. Maybe we should meet up, if even for lunch at DTD??
I added to MBC dropper list. See you around.
You are so lucky to be a Mom in your 20's! I "tried" but my fertility didn't cooperate. So I am closely approaching 40 (gasp) with a third grader in the house!
I was obsessed with 90210 in college and can't wait to watch it again!

Oh, I know what you mean! I'll be 29 in early October, which means I'm almost 30, lol. I surely can't "hang" anymore. I'm growing old, and it's making me sad.
And yeah, I don't have much of an attention span for sports, either, lol. I'll watch the Seahawks, but that's it, lol (and I usually don't pay attention to it all, anyway).
I have no idea what you are talking about! I can still run circles around those young girls... okay, I have an extra lift pushing my walker in front of me!! HA HA HA!
I am okay with not fitting in with them anymore, a lot of them annoy the heck out of me anyways, lol!
Glad your lap top is back where it belongs!
