Another year has passed by

I'm another year older now. 

I'm not offically 36 for another few hours as far as the US is concerned, but it's already June 16th in England where I was born....so I've kissed 35 goodbye and am embracing 36.

Wow.  36.  Seems like just yesterday I was revelling in being 18 and legal to drink, and I can vividly recall turning 16.  Now here I am, married 11 1/2 years, with 3 kids...steaming towards 40.

I can't say that I'm not where I thought I would be because I've never really thought that I would be anywhere.  The only plan I ever had was to stay married to D....and I've accomplished that. 

I can say that I'm happy with where I am.  I'm in love with a rockin' dude, and equally importantly he loves me too.  I have wonderful children, a place to live, food to eat, clothes on my back and money for a little extra here and there.  Yeah, I bitch and complain about him being gone and how it sucks to be alone, but....at least I have someone and I know he'll be home sometime.

Life is good....and being 36 is going to be good too!

Happy Birthday!

Just live like each day was your last. Cheesy, I know, but it's good advice. Then those years won't blow by so fast.
