tres weird
My teenage daughter is sitting in the family room with her cousin and her cousin's boyfriend, laughing and watching a movie.
I'm the 40-year-old mom making the popcorn.
Sometimes these grown-up moments really freak me out.

And the almost-40 year old father was too tired and fell asleep reading. Man, we're all getting old.
Oh, so those feelings just get worse. My daughters are 5 and almost-3, and I already feel that way.
When I was pregnant with our first child I wrote something in my journal like, "how can I be a mom? I'm not grown up enough to be a mom." In some ways I still don't feel like a grown-up. I mean, how's that supposed to feel? I'm almost 40. Aren't I supposed to feel like a grown-up now?
That first baby is now 13, wearing makeup and getting a twinkle in her eyes when the guys tease her. What am I supposed to with that? Oh--and her brother has these huge shoulders . . .
Once in a while I just go to bed earlier and make my four kids tuck me in for a change. That'll show them!
