Ok, so today I am 40. Everyone has told me it is only a number. Age has never bothered me before. That's obvious because the age difference between Laurence and myself has never been an issue. I have not been concerned at all about this milestone, until..........about 12.30 pm yesterday, when I was walking back from Bancroft (after dropping my car there for ski exercise). I was walking with a friend from work (who is approaching 4o this year) and suddenly became very miserable. This could have been because
a) My body was aching all over from the stupid fall I had the day before
b) My chest has been really wheezy since Monday
c) We are approaching the Ides of March
Well, that brief moment past very quickly as I arrived back at school. There was an urgent message that the Deputy Head wanted all of us. It was a serious message, my first thought was “what have we done to upset parents now?”. As I walked into the room the whole of the infant department had gathered and presented me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and some “vouchers”. What a lovely surprise, not something that usually happens, but they told me they didn’t want me to pass this milestone without marking the occasion. Spirits lifted I carried on thought the day (still aching and wheezing.)
This morning I was woken with a lovely birthday message from Mum and Dad and then delivering of cards and presents from the children who had been confiscating them from me during the week.
I am looking forward to a laugh and a giggle as I spend the day with my friend Karen at “Bluey” and look forward to the party tonight. Thank you everyone.
Good Day. Great site. Good info. Help me! Looking for sites on: Klafsun tanning bed. I found only this - tanning bed clip art. Everyone has to take proper care of their skin, tanned or not. I was just curious to see if anyone else had the same concerns as I did. With best wishes :-), Candice from Thailand.
