I took part (actually most) of the day off to go on a field trip with Gabe. It was really weird to go as a working mom. Instead of hanging out at the school with all the other mom (mingling, getting to know each other) and following the bus, I met the bus at the field trip. Felt a little out of the loop with all the other moms. Do I care?....mmmm, kinda--it's just my nature to want to be in the loop. Luckily my good friend Cindy was there (who also happens to be a mother of three and way past all the,"my child is doing _____ and yours isn't?"" junk that first time moms tend to do -- me included). Cindy has the best sense of humor. Even though we didn't get to sit next to each other just seeing her there made me feel more comfortable. Thanks Cindy! HA, lightbulb...maybe I didn't feel out of place because I was a working mom but because I'm an older mom AAAUGH...hahahaha...I like the first scenario better!
Anyway, despite my insecurity, I had a good time because Gabe was so happy that I was there. He gave me countless hugs and introduced me to several friends. Very unlike his middle school counterparts who pretend they don't know me. lol

You can't be an "older" mom because that would make me an "older" mom and even though it's true, I refuse to admit it. Join me in denial!
Oh, please, you two are babies in terms of years. There is no need for denial...just wait until you hit 40...it's the new 20...at least that's my story and I stuck to it...until I hit 41. (Now, I'm 21 and legal) Just imagine if you were my friend who is 39 and just found out she's having triplets...now doesn't that make you feel better?
39 and having triplets? Ouch. That retirement fund just got used to pay for college tuition. Although with three they could afford to sell one on the black market. I'm not saying they should, just throwing out ideas here. That's who I am. I'm an idea man.
