I always forget how old I am.
I usually ask Jeff to tell me my age. And then he says, "I don't know. How old am I?"
Sounds like something we should be doing at 90, doesn't it?

This year I didn't ask though. I knew.
35 was here.
No longer 30 and not yet 40.
Somewhere in the middle.
Not quite as flexible. A few more creaky bones.
Just kind of in the middle.
I'm not a young mother. I'm not a seasoned mother.
I'm right here in the middle.
I've got a lot to learn. And I've got just a little experience under my belt.
After 35 years and 7 days, it feels pretty good to be…

in the middle.
