So, I’m in my forties now, and apparently there’s a switch in your body that gets pushed when you enter this decade.  The button reads, “Everything will fall once activated”.  I mean, I’m seeing age spots, growths that are who knows what, eyelids catching when I turn my eyes a certain way, and pores that seem to be the size of craters on the moon.  My daughter told me the other day that I have holes in my skin.  I gasped..

So, I broke down and called a dermatologist today to have my skin evaluated for these lovely middle-age changes.  Am I vain?  Why, of course!  Here’s the skinny for me.  I’m more productive when I feel better about myself (at least that’s what I’m going to tell my husband so that he’ll give me his blessing  to buy some magical cream or something:)

Can homeschooling be causing all of these changes?  Well, the lack of sleep probably doesn’t help along with the stress, but I’ll just  have to live with the changes.  Maybe my kids will concoct some fountain of youth cream while they’re in their home studies.  Wouldn’t we make a fortune?
