I turn 40 years old today! (I've been waiting my turn to post that, hee hee!)

[Colleen in NS]

I've seen others over the years post their birthdays when they've turned 40, and I've always wanted to.... :) Wow, when I turned 30, I had just had my first baby.....that baby is treating me to a Subway sandwich later today.....

So, folks, what are the 40s like?:D

[Laurel T.]

Happy Birthday!! I have heard that 40 is a big year, but this is only secondhand information. Enjoy eating out with your baby.

Happy Birthday! Remember that 40 is the new 20, or something like that. If that's true, and we use that ratio forever, we may end up to be 180!:D

I love being in my 40's. I bet you will too!

I'm turning forty this year too, and you better believe I'm going to remind everyone I know that I need to be congratulated!

[cricket1178]

Happy Birthday!

I'll be turning 45 on the 22nd. I guess if 40 is the new 20, 45 must be the new 25. I'll take it.:001_smile: Have a wonderful day!

Happy 40th! I'll be 40 by the end of the year too. Does anybody have any advice for those who are turning 40 regarding health, hormones, relationships, etc? Any books to read, tips ??

Happy Birthday! I'm finishing my first year in the decade, and I can say that the 40's are so far pretty indistinguishable from the late 30's. :D.

Have great day!

You people are FABULOUS!!!! I was shocked to see I had so many birthday greetings, THANK YOU ALL SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!! I wish I could reply to every single one of you - all these messages so much to me! EDIT: oh, wait, I can PM each of you! Hold on.....

I've gotten spoiled today by my dh and kids....breakfast in bed, flowers, chocolate, lunch made (I said I didn't care what it was, as long as I didn't have to cook it - we have our main meal at lunchtime since dh leaves in the early afternoon for work), birthday cake, ds bought me a Subway sandwich to eat for supper and dd wants to buy me a hamburger and fries at McDs on Saturday.....and party with other friends on Sat.

I woke up this morning and thought, "I need to count my blessings today. I've had my rocky times in life, but I have a great dh and kids, great extended family, great friends.....Thank you, God."

And I'm so thankful to have you boardies to chat with about all the nooks and crannies of homeschooling - this is SUCH a valuable resource to me!

Thanks again, everyone! Wish I could meet you all sometime! (Susan, WTM boardies convention in Charles City?? C'mon, whaddya say?)

[Jackie in AR]

Happy Birthday!:party:
