So forty, so good

Well, I feel I ought to report from the other side of forty. So far, things are not too shabby at all! The tally in the past couple weeks: one surprise party put on my sneaky, wonderful husband which surprised me most by how many people came over on a Wednesday night, on the first week of school; one weekend getaway in a fancy hotel (thanks to his company and including 3 hours of conversation in the car each way); two weeks of serious on-task schooling for all; one sprint triathlon completed where I cut down on last year’s time by a full 29 seconds; and one slumber party of girlfriends where for one night we got to be 13 all over again, with less angst and more giggling. So my forties have been super busy and a lot of fun! And now I feel fairly justified in not doing much else for the rest of the year.
