Feeling Old (A blog shout out to Sheila)

On the first night that Dane, the boys and I were in STL for Xmas, we went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Immediately after being seated, we ran into the Jones family. This is what made me feel so old. This family used to live in my old neighborhood that I spent probably thousands of hours babysitting for! I haven't seen the kids in quite some time. Their oldest is in high school. WHAT?! I started babysitting their oldest (I think) when he was about 6 weeks old...maybe younger. I cannot believe that he is in high school. Their second son is the age that I was when I started babysitting the first. This blows my mind. Their youngest does not remember me because when she came around I had sadly moved on to college. I even went to Mexico with these people on vacation.  It was so great to see the kids and how grown up they are, but made me simultaneously realize that I am getting old. Sheila told me that she has been checking our blog, and therefore, this is a shout out to her. Thanks for making me realize how old I must be if I am now the one looking for the babysitter! It was great to see you, Jason and the kids! I wanted to squeeze those boys but didn't want to scare them off since so much time has passed. Hope that you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
