Growing up...When did that happen?

Hello again my many imaginary followers of my almighty blog. I'm sure you were wondering to what far reaches of the universe I was hiding in. Well, I have triumphantly returned with no vengeance at all simply because my mind somehow remembered, oh yeah, I have a blog. So without further adieu, I will waste just a little more of your time if you choose to read further....

Well, you know those moments? Yeah, those, where you just contemplate, but it's more just daydreaming because your mind isn't doing anything else. Yeah, that one.... In that zone right now.... I've come to that thinking and realizing again that I'm 33 years old. Where in the world did 20 go?! I'm out of college (with a Master's degree), have a career job (and somehow I'm department chair of the Social Studies Department), have a wife (who is an awesome and beautiful woman....SCORE!...Okay, had to throw that in), have 2 amazing kids (One is a hilarious, energetic, yet stubborn to the core boy who is 5 years old....and the other is a pretty princess already at 4 months), have a house, have 2 cars,  have a pet dog and fish, etc...... We live in a suburb of the city, take our son to sports' practices/games, wonder what's for dinner, do those daily house chores when we can, pay bills, and check, check, check on the rest of the list. Just wow! Where did the time go? On top of that, the white hairs have hit the head and beard on my face....They are announcing getting older with definite clarity...But you know what, love it, and wouldn't have it any other way. So here's to growing up, growing old, or whatever....Okay, I need a nap.
