It has to do with the mail. Twice I have received information from the AARP. Seriously? Is 40 the new 65? I shook it off. Mistakes happen. Instead of focusing on those unfortunate incidents, I have been enjoying this time of year with the Christmas cards arriving every day. But today I also received a very disturbing piece of mail with my name on it. It read
"Dear Neighbor,
We are excited to inform you about plans for the expansion of Pacific Springs Village, a beautiful 50-acre senior living community located near the intersection of..."
How is a girl like me supposed to have a merry Christmas if I'm getting mail like this?
Bah humbug to that.

Feel better, Missy. I've rec'd an AARP card almost every year since I turned 20. :) I can't get them to quit!! I sometimes receive corresponding mail because of it. :)
OH NO!!!! OK that is NOT RIGHT!
I think you are youthful!!! AND you have a toddler for crying out loud- a very very cute one! :) Cheer up you are very young yet!!! I should know I am almost 40 myself! :)
Too funny! I think they have your name by accident because I am 40 also and I am not receiving any such kind of mail. Instead I am getting repeated phone calls for some gal name Ida and her husband John who aren't making their mortgage payments and they are going to "repo" their/my home.
I hope to quietly enter my 40's this next year. Now you've given me some things to look forward to. Not! Dawn is right tho, having a toddler does create an aura of youth. Are toddlers allowed in retirement communities? ;-) Happy belated birthday.
Hang in there Missy! I am feeling your pain - you and I are very close in age :) Time will help- pretty soon you will forget about the age/number thing. Your beautiful mom though, you will never forget and that is a true blessing. Even though I did not know your mom, I can tell through your blog that she was an amazing and kind woman. Be grateful that your memories are so vivid and fresh- she will always be a part of your day when you have them.
I'm sure you're getting it because your (our) age group has PARENTS who fit the retirement village demographic. They're assuming you'll help make those decisions for a PARENT who needs a place to stay.
It's not you. It's Bill's mom.
They obviously didn't get the memo that 40 is the new 20!!! I hope you don't received anything like that in the mail this week! Merry Christmas!
I got mail like that when I was pre-teen. If it feels bad at 40, just imagine if Emma got it. See, it isn't so bad.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
Enjoy the ornaments your children picked out of your mom and dad's stash. I am sure they have fond memories to go along with each one.
