The past 25 years have been devoted to my kids. Damn, that's a quarter century. People who have been convicted of murder have had prison sentences less than that.
Things are about to shift. If I think about it too much I will cry. It's all becoming a reality. The out-of-state relatives are arriving, final ceremonial touches are being completed, etc.
Now what? I thought I would be arranging babysitting, changing diapers, and wrestling with car seats and strollers for all eternity -- not to mention driving on just about every school field trip, making food for class parties, etc.
I've poured so much of my energy into the kids...... I guess I can finally learn that foreign language, upgrade my computer skills, and pursue other interests that have been on the back burner for 25+ years. That's the positive side of having kids when young. I still have a lot of time to enjoy traveling and such. My career is solid, finances are solid, and health is solid. Granted, it could all change on a dime as we never know what life holds for us, but all in all it's pretty darn good.
