being an older mom

i'm 39 (but who's counting)...and being an older mom is tiring (not that being a mom is a breeze if you are 29 or anything). but this morning sophie and I both exhausted ourselves.

- first 30 min of aerobics - then i got back home, showered and off to the library with Sophie for the Christmas puppet show (it was cute,but probably 10 minutes too long). several kids in the 2-4 age group were losing interest. but still very cute.

- then off to perk ourselves up here with a cinnamon bun, coffee (for me) and chocolate milk for sophie.

- then a haircut for sophie (thankfully this was all happening in the same mall, so i didn't have to travel far).

- browsed through a couple of shops including a bookstore that we both love

- the back to the library to take out a few books, like this one
and this one

- back home in time for leftover pizza and Christmas music. sophie crashed on the chair and off to nap for a bit.

right now we are just hanging out. tonight it's Vic's Christmas party.

    If you are old, then so am I. :) I'm right there with you. I don't mind a bit. I don't think I was ready in my twenties.

    I'm an older mom too, and some days are definately harder than others.
    Snow looks like a wonderful book! We'll have to check it out too.
