Dirty Thirties

So, I am officially "in my 30's". This is strange for me since in many ways I still feel like I'm 22. I still listen to a lot of the same music. I have the sense of humor of a 13 year old boy. On the other hand, there is no denying the fact that I am no longer 22. I have two children, I have been married for six years, and after what seems like a lifetime in college, I now possess the world's most expensive piece of paper.

But I have a feeling that my 30's will be great. First, my kids are at the stages where they aren't too demanding. Don't get me wrong, they are a ton of work, but I'm not terrified that my oldest is going to choke on a Polly Pocket shoe and my youngest shoves food in his own face with little to no Mommy intervention.

The second and most important reason that my 30's will rock is that by the time one turns 30ish, they have gotten over a lot of crap. The crap I'm speaking of is that stuff that sucks, but that makes up who we are. We all lose our minds from time to time, and I think our 20's is to perfect time for this insanity. I will be the first to admit that I was insane from ages 13-22. But it's all good now.
