Getting Old?

I keep asking myself that question over and over because people won't let me forget how old I am.

I've never considered myself to have a problem with my age. I've alway felt proud and blessed. I can't believe that I'm closer to 40 than 30. I feel like I'm at a crossroads where I need to make some serious decisions about the next phase of my life.

I'm also suffering from "pre empty nest" syndrome. My boy has signed his NLI and will be leaving for school in June. I'm extremely happy that he's leaving for school and I know he'll be ok, but I'm going to miss him. He'll only be four hours away, but I won't get to see him like I see my daughter who is 45 minutes away. She's not coming home this summer either, she's getting an apartment near school.

All my adult life (and even before then) I've been someone's mother and wife. The thought of living my life the way I want to and doing what I want is something that I have never given much thought until now. I knew this day would come and I knew I would be young when it happened, but it came much faster than I thought.....LOL.

My daughter has pretty much moved on with her life and is doing what she wants to do. She doesn't really need me and that's cool. I know my son will need me for a year or two, but then again maybe not. I hear the south calling me. I'm considering moving across the Mason Dixon line. I'm tired of being cold and I just want a change of scenery. I think I'm going to use the next couple of years to tie up some loose ends and then I'll concentrate on moving on.

In other age related news....

I know I'm not too close to "the change" yet, but I can feel my body changing. I get warm much faster than I used to. I wore a turtle neck sweater today and I almost went into spontanious combustion.....LOL. My skin is also getting dryer. If I sit in one position too long, I get stiff.....sheesh. I'm still waiting on this 30-something sex surge to kick in. The thought of having an insatiable sexual appetite is hilarious to me. I mean I'm no prude and I do alright, but I can definitely control myself.

Ok, I'm done.
