Things that make you go...HMMMMmmmm

Ok it is no BIG secret that I have turned 40. My daughter seems to take pride in reminding me daily...her latest question was "So Mom, when is it you start down the hill..." You know it really BITES to have a sassy daughter sometimes...I can't imagine WHO she takes after...probably the damn storks that dropped her on my doorstep almost 13 years ago...(smirk)

I had to think about how to respond to that question carefully because I knew too well this is an question/answer session that could very easily comeback to bite me later and NOT in a good way either!!! My response was "Well actually now that I am 40, I OWN the hill!" "I am QUEEN of the hill AND I won't go down it until I am good and ready"!!!
