I have been having some, "Wow, I'm old!" moments lately. Have you seen that Hallmark commercial where the dad opens his Father's Day card to the song, "Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer? That made me feel old. I realize that MC Hammer is old school, but it made me feel old that it was a middle-aged, balding father who was enjoying it.
I also realized recently that I am three years away from being the same age my mom was when my family moved to Alabama (I was 12). My mom seemed so old then! I'm not that old. I mean, wasn't it yesterday that I was doing this?
And yet here I am now:
And pretty soon Madelyn will look like this:
And then I will blink and she will be graduating from high school in 2026. I will be 48. That is three years younger than the age my mom is today. Wow, I'm old.

I realized the other day that I am much closer to 40 than 17. It made me feel very strange.
Okay, youngins! Try being in your mid 30's, driving a minivan packed full of kids-that makes you feel old :)
Although the older I get, the more I move "old" up the scale a bit...
Tonya, your mom's gonna get you for posting something pointing to being old when you're her age, lol.
