They say you're only as old as you feel. My best friend celebrates his 30th birthday today, and soon I will join him in the 30 + club.
Whenever I go grocery shopping, I feel like an "adult". I don't know why, maybe it's just a thing that "grown-ups" usually do. When I look around the store, there's mostly 40-50 year olds there. I see lots of parents pushing their kids in the cart. Maybe that's why I feel older when I shop.
Of course all of this is a moot point, when they look in my cart and I have granola bars, pudding, sweetened cereal, juice, and chocolate milk. My cart is the unofficial wish list for any kid.
I quickly jump back into my "adult" role when I load up the minivan to go home....
I feel that I am where I am supposed to be at this point of my life. Parenthood, and all of the things that come with it are all that I could have hoped for. I can't wait.
On a side note, I believe that I'm over the shock (see last post) and am coming to terms with it.
This title describes everything. If somebody is acting crazy, if you're just not feeling right, if you are feeling right, what keeps me employed. It's the meds.

I love grocery shopping. Over the summer I worked in a group home and had to shop for 8 people. I often had to drag two carts around the store. They were piled high and I'm a really skinny guy. The food was always good quality and stacked so it wouldn't fall. I got the old ladies attention, that's for sure. Even a few winks.
I think they wanted to fatten me up....
I think switching between kid and grown up is just being a normal guy!
somehow I don't think we'll ever fully grow up... this of course will no doubt make you, ali, me and my beloved the coolest parents/uncle/aunt ever!
