Turning 30

Well, today I'm turning 30.  Here's what it feels like...for the most part just like yesterday, and probably tomorrow.  Currently there's a ridiculously fudgy chocolate cake in the oven, I'm watching the birthday wishes trickle in by Facebook and text, and I'm expecting my 19-year-old-baby sister any moment.  On the other hand, the thing on my mind for most of today has been figuring out what to do with my potentially gifted 5 year old now that it's time to start registering for kindergarten, and why is my house so messy?  I'm sure I cleaned it yesterday.  The point is, I think I might be a grown up now.  There's no big ceremony, and I didn't just wake up this way, I've grown into it.  We all do.  That's not to say I'm a big boring, uncool, grown up, obsessed with money and work.  I'm just comfortable and in control, I'm moving forward of my own volition, my life is my own, and I generally know where it's going.  My path is formed and clear, and yet it still changeable, and I'm ready to accept the next challenge.
