Tonight, I get to wallow in self pity; for a little while anyway. You see, I finally realized that I am old. How did I come to realize this? Quite simply really. My baby, the adorable little thing that fit in the palm of my hand when he was first born, will be graduating from high school in three weeks. Last night he attended his senior prom. Today he started driving for the first time, and will get his license in two more weeks. As I sat in the passenger seat of the car while he drove me home from the store, I realized that somehow in the time it took for him to grow up, I'd grown up too.

I'm not sure when exactly it happened; if it was a slow process or if it happened overnight and I just never noticed, but it happened and it has hit me like a ton of bricks. I. Am. Old. And it's really not as bad as I'd always imagined it would be. I'll survive this revelation, I'm sure, but for now I'm going to mourn my lost youth.

Wallow with me.

And the geekdom continues
