Kids almost well from the last round of sickness. We've been hit two or three times, this Winter, with mild viruses. And I've not seen a rash of flu about either. I know folks have had it, but seems that this isn't the year for a huge outbreak....or maybe other stuff has overshadowed that issue in the papers?
But in other news, the birthday countdown is on! My outlook on turning fifty tomorrow is better than it was, say, even a couple of weeks ago. I've belly-ached so, and my husband finally said, "Hey, if you think being in your fifties looks old, what does that say about me?" He's about 4 years older than I am, so obviously I've been a bit insensitive, haven't I? The thing is, he wears 53 very well. Me? Well, I'm not so sure how that'll be.
I'm thinking, though, that maybe this will be a decade of real good living. Maybe more honesty in how I deal with things, and a lighter attitude. My twenties were spent in finishing college, marrying and then having 2 babies. The thirties, which were my hardest ten year period involved 5 more babies and much exhaustion. My forties included one more baby and mental confusion. Guess everything caught up with me...plus more tiredness. I'm planning on relaxing more and making attempts at not being so doggone serious all the time. Playing maybe?!??! Here's to trying!
