Status Change….Big Changes this Last Week…

Whew!  My trip to Chicago brought about lots of new things to my Honu world.  I’ve got photos.  I’ve got videos.  And I’ve got recaps of our first family trip to the windy city. 

But that’s still coming.

Right now, I’m sitting at my desk feeling a different.  Older?  Wiser?  Matronly?

First, I logged into my computer here at the office and started sorting through my e-mail.  I clicked on a survey from the IT seminar I took.  The first question asked what age bracket I belonged to?

Yikes! 

I moved up an age bracket!  I no longer fall into the [25-34] category.  I’m the next one up.  Oy!  Such a little thing, but it gave me a bit of a jolt.  Maybe it’s because I am feeling a little more matronly lately.  Wider hips, slower metabolism?  LOL  But I’m also just busy with Malia – planning activities for her and incorporating so much of her into my daily life.  Not that I mind, of course.  But it still amazes me how much mothers have to adapt to their new world.

Then I look down and see my iphone…

Again, a small thing in the grand scheme of things….but seriously, I feel like it screams out “SHE HAS A BABY!!”  whenever I look at it.  It’s HUGE!  It’s completely necessary of course now that Malia is grabbing at everything and tossing it aside with strange, mutant strength.  And of course, she thinks my phone is a chew toy.  Since it’s highly unlikely that I’ll be able to upgrade anytime soon, it’s best to keep that phone protected.
