Facebook, reality checks, and holy crap!
I've been posting a lot to Facebook, finding a lot of friends - mostly from highschool, tho I have recently found some from college too - and getting back in touch with people. If you haven't tried it, I have to recommend it, it's really pretty cool contacting people after 20 years or so. It's neat hunting through people's friend lists to find someone you might know or remember.
It's through talking to people and letting them know what I've been up to that I realize several things -
I'm feeling old
I have a son who is in 6th grade (that's the holy crap)
I'm almost 40 years old
It's not hold old you look, it really is how old you feel, and the aches and pains lately? Dude, I'm 90.
The reality check is that I've been looking at other people's kids and realizing that I had mine a LOT younger than most of my peers. Seriously, I'd say that a good 75% of the people I've talked to, have kids under 6. Mine are 11 and 8(9 in Oct). Which I guess is kind of cool. I'll be able to relax,, sit back, and start paying all those college tuition bills that much sooner

OK I’m feeling old now. I’m paying those college bills as we speak…
