Future Later Mom Empty Nester
I am so tired of this winter. Are you?
And, Seth's school bus is stressing me out.
The bus aide gave me the evil eye the other day when we weren't standing outside awaiting their arrival. It's cold out there in the morning. Can't we wait just inside our doorway, and Seth can scamper out when they arrive?
Today the bus was two hours late. There was a school opening delay due to the weather yet again.
I ask you....are we done with snow yet this season? I hate the ice and mess. Don't like driving or walking on it. It's just not my thing. A sno-bunny I'm not.
So, why do I live in a place like New York? Sometimes I wonder. Though, there's a lot good to be said about it, but the weather wouldn't be high on my list.
Seth said a funny thing the other day.
He announced how a little girl in his class wants to marry him, and he might want to marry her one day. Not now, of course. They're 5. (though I often say he's 5 going on 15) And, he went on to say that when he gets married, he'd like to live in our house. Not with us....but without us...I presume.
Part of me thought, that would be cool, if he really means it. I'm not sure I personally want to live in this house forever. I do love my house (and we're about to embark on a major basement project). But, life in suburbia doesn't always suit me. I might like to live in the city one day and maybe even retire there.
But, how do you decide where you want to retire? Some flock to warmer climates, and I wouldn't mind that. But, would I be happy in a place like Florida or Arizona? Not sure. Maybe. I do like cactus and mountains and wild rabbits. It's something to think about.
It also got me thinking about being a later mom empty nester one day. I have mom friends who are already empty nesters and are in their 50s. I don't know how old I'll be when I fit that bill, but I do know I'll be at least 60 if not older. 60 feels like such a big number. Wow. Can you imagine?! Me 60 one day. G-d willing, that will be the case.
Where will I be in my life then? What will I want? Questions. Questions. And, I'm certainly not prepared to answer any of them.
How did I get on this topic anyway?
Oh yeah....it snowed here again, and I'm feeling a bit clastrophobic, having stayed in all day today.
Tomorrow is another day, and I have a luncheon meeting. Followed by a gym workout. I look forward to both.

Please compare also with the image I sent last rolex replica to confirm that this is actually the edge of the bubble it is a little hard to see under the red. The date should be centered underneath this bubble, like rolex replica sale is in the link below, and like it is for every other Rolex I have seen. I know it is a bit hard to spot the edges of the bubble in the rolex replica sale but in real life this is very obvious. I think part of the problem is also that the date fake rolex is too small compared to the bubble, but nevertheless it should certainly be centered. A shot anyway and still nothing rado replica sale so now would like to return this as was a Christmas present and would been nice if rolex replica sale had worked. Could you confirm as requested in last email about costs and forward me the address to send the watch back please.
