1.\u00a0 Getting older.\u00a0 I actually don’t mind turning another year older.\u00a0 I’ve had an interesting (for me) life, and I feel like I’ve made some good friends, and progress in general is good anyway, right?<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 School starting back.\u00a0 YAY MY SON WILL NOW HAVE OTHER THINGS TO CONCENTRATE ON!\u00a0 It also means I pay less in child care, and lets face it, money stinks.\u00a0 The less of it I have to shell out to other people, the better, in my opinion.\u00a0 And this is my blog, so in a sense, my word is law here.\u00a0 Of course I’d need readers to really have that dramatic effect…<\/p>\n
