This is my life...

I'm not sure what I thought my life would be like in my thirties.
But it wasn't like this. Not that "this" is bad, I just had no idea what to expect.Come to think of it, I don't think I had a plan for my 30's. I've never had a plan for any stage of my life, beyond high school and getting married.
I did high school. Nothing special, nothing exhilarating. I just did it. I got through it. I didn't party, I didn't go to a single football game. I worked. A lot. And then I graduated, and I kept on working. I didn't go to college after high school, I didn't go to college in my twenties. Nope, I had babies in my twenties. Three of them, by the age of 23. So I spent my twenties just getting through from one day to the next.

Now, here I am. I have arrived in my 30's.  Actually, I arrived in my 30's a few years back, but the idea is just now catching up to me. I now have TIME to think about what I'm doing with my 30's, my so-called PRIME.
I'm going to college. WOW! That's a big one.
I'm raising teenagers. YIKES! Another big one.
I'm running 3 businesses from home.
I do the laundry (most days), I cook (sometimes), I study (when I'm not on Facebook), I shuttle teenagers (there's that word again! TEENAGERS! When did they get so big?) all over God's Green acres, run errands, answer phones, get the groceries, pay the bills and occasionally sleep.
And now I blog. Because I have so much free time, right?

This is my life. In my 30's. And I love every minute of it, most days! Some days are so busy, I can't wait til bedtime. Other days are a snore-fest, and I can't wait til bed time so I can do something different tomorrow. But every day is a blessing.
My oldest just turned 14, yesterday, in fact. My Sweet Hubby says to me, "We only have 4 more years with him." And I think to myself, Where did it go? All the time? What did I do with it? I've spent each day getting to next day. I still do. SLOW DOWN! I'm not done yet! I'm IN MY THIRTIES!!
This is my life. Welcome!
