It's an Age Thing

(Why does that sound like ajlrpuck fic title?)  Anyway, just wanted to do a quick life update.  I turn 40 in five more days!  Oh, my gosh, how did I get here?  I swear yesterday I was only 17.  Now I'm the mom of a thirteen-year-old who is taller than me by two inches and my baby is about to turn 10.  How does this happen?  Where does the time go?  And Chris won't even be here for my major milestone as he flies back to Alaska on Tuesday. *pouts*  Oh, well, I'm used to that.  Don't think I'll do much, except make the Best Butter Fudge Cake out of the Best of 2010 Cookbook I bought last week and then I'll probably freeze most of it since I don't want to be eating off it all week.  (Hmm, wonder if I could just make half the recipe and do cupcakes?  They'd be easier to freeze in portion sizes.)  I'm not really a big birthday celebration person.  I like cake and presents and that's pretty much it.  I suppose if Chris were home we'd go out to dinner, but I think I'll be happy to just stay home and veg.

Chris' boss wants him to apply for a new job at their company.  It'd be supervising 6 to 8 people and would be a step up the pay scale.  If he got it we'd be assured of a 2 and 2 schedule, instead of half the year being 2 and 2 and the other half of it being 3 and 3.  I hate 3 and 3's, so hopefully he'll get this and we can not have to deal with 3 and 3's come spring.  Keep your fingers crossed for us.

I haven't been writing this week and I miss it, but we've just been so busy working out at the house and rearranging our storage locker.  We're going to get a bit more done tonight.  There is just so much to do and I want to get as much done as possible while Chris is still home.  But I am aching to write the next bit of HM!
