When I made up my mind to retire I had a 40 week wait until my retirement date, the same length of time for a pregnancy. Waiting for retirement and waiting to give birth have a lot of similarities. For both of them time has a strange Sci Fi quality. It both barely moves and moves with the speed of light. Many times this wait to be retied, just like the wait to see that baby seems to be never ending and then all at once the due date is just around the corner. The big difference is, even with a lot less preparation I feel a lot more prepared for retirement then I did to be a first time mom.
Hopefully I will enjoy retirement as much as I enjoy being a mom.
Because I have 5 weeks and a day. Just 5 weeks and a day. Just 5 weeks and a day. I am excited. I am making plans -- in fact I'm making a list and checking it a lot more then twice. And I have no interest in worrying about who is naughty or nice.

5 WEEKS and A DAY! YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I agree also, you are a terrific Mom. It is nice that you have a blog to vent ya know? It might help some folks rather than choosing to be abusive or just down right nasty with others. Oh well, you know me...can't help but try and find something positive about it. Yucky, eh?
