Returning to school at the age of 36 is probably the hardest thing I have ever done. Going in the classroom the first day, with all the younger kids there was very embarrassing. And I thought everyone was going to treat me differently because I was so much older. But I got there and after a few weeks I made some really good friends. And because I am a parent I was naturally picked to lead teams in theater class, and in English while work shopping. I surprised myself by how quickly I adjusted to school life and I realized the gap between the ages really doesn’t apply to a group who are all working toward the same goal.

My dog Fritzie loves her wooden dog steps because she can go up and down on the bed without any trouble. And what I also love about it is that it’s not just a step for the dog but also storage. I can keep her things inside the storage and can pull it out any time she wants to play her dog toys. It’s a double purpose for me and my dog. I like things that are very useful not just for 1 purpose but in any other purposes like what I have in our house. Even you have a big space in your house, still you want it to be more spacious especially having dogs around.

I think you realize you’re old when what you look forward to the most, is taking a nap. I suppose when you’re young you don’t want to sleep because you are always afraid that you’ll miss something. When you get older you no longer care about what you miss and only want to sleep. I go to school and work a full time job. I also have children, so naptime is few and far between. When I can get in a little extra sleep I am happy. If given a choice between a Disney vacation for a week or uninterrupted sleep, guess which one I would choose?

I have a 16 year old son. And he can be messy in the extreme. On a typical day, I walk into his room and am appalled by the sheer filth of the place. I realize that it has been too long and he is going to have to clean it or the health inspector might condemn the room. So I say, “Ok it’s time to clean your room” and I know there will be a fight. I know it will be a battle. And he says “ok, wait a min.” code speak for I’m going to wait for you to leave the room and forget that you ever told me to clean it. But I stand my ground. The yelling begins and finally ends, and the room is a little better. And then a week later, my son walks into my room, looks around, finds a candy bar wrapper and starts screaming at the top of his lungs!, he was making the same faces as I do and everything. He starts walking around doing the glove test on the baseboards with this evil disgusted frown on his face. I nearly died laughing. To this day it is the funniest thing I have ever seen.
