ZACH IS 10 YRS. OLD JULY 12. WHEN HE SAW MY WEBSITE, HE REQUESTED I MAKE & POST A SCRAPBOOK PG. OF 1 OF HIS B-DAYS. I AM NOT SURE WHEN I'LL DO THIS YEAR (THOUGH I'M READY), SO SOMETIME I'LL POST HIS 9TH B-DAY (I REALLY LOVED HIS MONKEY CAKE PLAYING GAMEBOY & THE MONKEY CUPCAKES THE KIDS MADE).

SO, AM I OLD ENOUGH 2 HAVE A KID IN THE DOUBLE DIGITS? I DID, AFTERALL, STROKE AT 30 YRS. OLD—DOESN'T THAT QUALIFY ME AS OLD?

HOWEVER, MY GENES MAKE ME APPEAR YOUNGER THAN I AM: BEING SHORT DOESN’T HELP, BUT WHEN I WAS NEWLY MARRIED, I LOOKED 12 YEARS OLD—I RECALL GOING 2 A CHURCH CAMP, SHORTLY AFTER MARRYING, AT 21, & I LOOKED SO MUCH (W/O MAK-UP) LIKE 1 OF MY 12 YYR. OLD GIRLS, I HAD 2 PROVE I WAS THHEIR LEADER BY SHOWING MY WEDDING RING! AT 30, JUST B4 MY STROKE,, I WAS THOUGHT TO BE A BABYSITTER FOR ZACH, JESS & SOPH, BECAUSE SOME1 THOUGHT THAT I LOOKED TOO YOUNG TO BE THE MOM!
