When Did We Get So Old?

Yes, it's true.. we're old enough to have kids in high school. We should be dealing with drivers ed, acne and teen drama.. but no. We're late bloomers and sitting here awaiting the phone call for an itty bitty. Maybe eesnie enough to still be in diapers.

Trust me, I've rationalized our age. Loads of our friends are just settling down and starting families. 39 is the new 29. I actually started to feel better as the realizations poured in: we have cars, toys, a wonderful home, great jobs, a fantastic group of friends and family close by. Of course, the ever important--we WANT to be parents. We're still cool and hip. No worries.. our time is now.

It was all good until tonight.

The bubble burst. I watched an episode of the new 90210. There are no if's and's or but's about it.. we're OLD.

Dagnabbit!
