There sure are a lot of candles on that cake!! No, there aren't actually 40 of them on there. But I did reach the "Big 4-0" milestone this past weekend.
Feels odd to say that. I am 40 years old.
Several people asked me over the weekend if I "felt any different". Honestly, I think I started feeling different a few months ago. I've been "practicing" by saying "I'm ALMOST 40" for so long, that it didn't come as so much of a shock when I actually got there.
In the last couple of weeks, though, I have made some changes in my attitude. I have decided that LIFE IS TOO SHORT to...
* fight with my husband
* yell at my kids
* wait until my house is clean to have friends over
* NOT have sex
* count calories
and most of all, life is too short to work at Staples.
So I gave my 2 weeks' notice on Friday night, less than 6 hours before I officially turned 40. It felt good. I have hated that job for months now, because I know I can do better. I don't know what "better" is yet, but I know that my silly cashier job at Staples was causing more stress, more fighting, and more damage to my self-esteem than it was worth. So I'm just not going to work there anymore.
So there.
See, I told you I had a new attitude!!!
