Thanks, Suzi.
Jilli, that sounds divine!

“Not dead yet!”
My early thirties are kind of a blur wrapped up in chasing after two kids born fifteen months apart. (Clearly, in my late twenties, I was also rather brain dead.)
Therefore, my late thirties and now forty is really Pretty Good. And my first baby is going to be TWELVE on Friday! When did that happen? Srsly?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I... still don't know what a Jesus Year is. I mean, I got that it was 33, and that it's when the dude died, but is blowing it out in his name like a recognized ritual thing that all the Christians know about and I don't? That's the part that confuses me.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
40 was a great year. Actually -- getting older is better. Ever since 38 for me. Still lots of stupid shit, and bad shit too-- but every day stuff -- much better.

I'm staring at my 18 year old going - how the heck... I mean, I remember every minute of those 18 years, and yet.
Feeling very old at the moment and very incompetent. Not having the house sold is making me feel like a failure who may have to ask her father for money. How pathetic is that? I'm 40, I should be past needing help from my parents.
Sorry for the whine, just grrrrring at myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nah, it's just silly.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm 40 and still renting. On the upside, now a parent needs my help with things instead of vice versa. Oh, wait. That's not really an up side. Oh, well, it's just occasionally, and it's nice to be needed.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Jilli was born in a very good month and year. Only awesome people were born in November of 1968.

{{{Suzi}}}, babe, it's been a helluva shakeup for you -- does it help to try to reframe the matter? It's not you needing to go to your parents for help. It's you having a healthy support network -- they'll be glad to help you when you need it, just as much as you'd help them however you can when they need it.
(Or you can just blame the crapassed real estate market. Either way, it's so not about you being a failure, at all.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
My deepest sympathies, Tamara
40 has been ok for me so far. We'll see...
