I have no idea how my older son could possibly be 20 because I don’t feel like I’m pushing 52. No, that’s not true…my achy body wakes up every day with another new pain and says, “oh, yeah, lady, you are SO pushing 52.” But, hey, at least I am waking up every day! Like an acquaintance always said, “growing old is better than the alternative” (since we can’t pull a Dorian Grey).
Sharing an old doodle of my son who, unlike his younger brother, loved to nap. 🙂
So precious! Happy birthday to your son! You never have two same kids. 😉

Wonderful! I always loved naptime when our kids were young. I always wanted to accomplish so much–right up to the point where I fell asleep too. Hey–your son’s birthday is my wife’s birthday! Hurrah!

So Yay! twenty years older and so are you. Reminds me of myself and how I judge the years gone by. They fly in an instant don’t they?
And like you I also know my age by my aches and pains. Hurting too much to go to Pilates today while hubby takes a morning nap. WE are getting old. My fingers one day won’t do the keyboard and that will be sad. Hope it is far away but my knunkles are swollen and painful and so are the joints.
Hot water and your soap are my friends. Thanks so much!
Love,
Clar
