Yesterday, I turned 36. I'm officially too old for the 18-35 demographic.

I suppose this should make me feel irrelevant, but thankfully that is not the case. But boy, am I tired!

I don't feel irrelevant at home -- my boys need me more than ever. If I waste one afternoon at the DMV our house falls into chaos. There is no food for the children, laundry piles up, the children get bored. It would be flattering, really, except that I feel an intense pressure to never get sick. I know it won't always be this way, but we are definitely in the thick of it.

(Speaking of the DMV, here is a picture of my old license photo from 10 years ago and the new temporary picture. I look more like myself in the new picture, despite the unfortunate hair going on there. The nice DMV lady tried to get me to take another picture, but I told her to just make sure I was registered to vote. "You are," she said. "Then let's do this. I've got to go pick up the kids at school!" Civic and motherly duties trumped vanity. I guess this means I'm finally growing up.)
