How old am I?.... REALLY?!

Stephanie (my sis) and I go to the movies often. We always go late at night on the weekend after the kids are in bed. It is my time to get away and I love movies, so it is always an enjoyable experience. Now, I know what I am about to reveal, but lets face it I am not perfect... we saw "Bad Teacher", yes an "R" rated movie. Most of the time I do not bring my wallet in. I only bring the essentials; tickets, Regal card (gotta get those free movie tickets) and a couple of dollars for some cocoa. Like I said "R" rated.
As we were purchasing our tickets the guy asked if we both had our id's in case we got carded on our way into the movie. I said "no" and stephanie said "yes". Then he looked at me funny and Stephanie said, "it's ok, I am 25 so I can vouch for your ticket" The guy said, "oh that's good".
How old do I look. I was 17, 10 years ago and could buy my own ticket then!! How old do I look now! Some think of it as a compliment, and most of the time I do, but in this case I laughed. I come late at night, leaving my husband and 3 kids at home to have a relaxing time away, I better not be told I, at 27 can't see the movie.
I text Darren when I got inside and he said "Wow"
I started thinking over all of the times I have been told how young I look or gotten funny looks for being out with even one of my kids. As the years go on it happens less, but still more often than most people I am sure.
When I am 40 I will appreciate the younger look more I am sure. And I do have to look at the bright side, I am not a 27 year old who looks like they are 40.

Summer time

Ok sorry about not being able to read our blog. I forget that I have to change the font when I am done writing.

So summer has begun... and with that so has the exhaustion, sleep deprivation, aching back, sore feet and really a great beginning to our summer. We went to the zoo, the movies 2 times and have began making our art/craft projects. It has been busy. I like it that way though, and so do the kids. We are getting into a rhythm and it feels good. I just need to figure out how to get the kids to bed before 9 and to sleep till after 7 and I will be having the best summer.

Mike starts summer school next week and so things will go back to "normal" for 4 weeks, but then we can get back to the best summer ever. His teacher this summer is the wife to his first summer school teacher. I am looking forward to meeting her.

I need to find a different summer program for lily. Maybe karate or cheer or ice skating... I don't know though. She says she is shy at dance every time I ask or suggest it, so I guess that is out. And gymnastics seems like she is not as interested in anymore.

I was thinking about scouting out some bakery's to try a different one each week as a special treat and a fun adventure. (anyone have any bakery's in mind, give me a heads up)

Have a great summer everyone.
