‘Up’ (as in, ‘The direction in which my son’s age continues to go.’)

Somebody turned 7 a few days ago. Fortunately (or not?), I’m still so freaked out about turning 40 that I’m nowhere near as rattled by the arrival of my son’s birthday this year as I was last year.

I’m in the middle of preparing my annual birthday post for Zan, but, in the meanwhile, I just wanted you all to know I’m still alive. Going from having a full-time gig to being semi-unemployed/semi-self-employed whilst trying to sell our house and relocate to Philadelphia has left painfully little time for blogging … but it’s very close to the top of my priority list, so don’t abandon me just yet.

Speaking of my priority list: Oy vey already with my priority list! And where on this list, pray tell, are the “Get a good night’s sleep” and “Relax and have some fun” items, hmmm? HMMM? Do you see them? No? Well, neither do I! GAH!!!

    Happy 7th to your son. My oldest isn’t too far behind. He turns 7 in just a few weeks. I’m not handling it nearly as well as you are. But then I didn’t just turn 40.

    Happy birthday to you both. As someone who’s turning 40 in a month…. GAH!!! indeed.

    If you think you are rattled now by your son’s age, just wait until he turns 16 – then watch your hair go completely white overnight…..

    I was unaware that parents were allowed to have a good nights sleep.. If you ever figure that out, can you share??

    Happy birthday Zan!

    I remember when my boy turned seven. It was hard to realize how fast he was growing up. I cried.

    This year, he’ll be 27. *sniff*

    Glad your back! Was worried that you might be overwhelmed with everything happening in your life right now. Happy Birthday Zan!

    Hang in there. This too shall pass. Speaking of passing….somebody pass the wine.
