I'm majoring in late-in-life surprise means parenting a toddler at age 50, in addition to two tweens, with a concentration of have to move to the burbs for more room and better schools but don't have the time or money to do this. I'm supposed to be doing a seminar in dad with dementia keeps declining while mom who has serious health issues refuses to move into a care facility. But I've skipped almost all of those classes--and keep dreaming about the dreaded final exam at night.... I say we head out for a late-night snack break, expanding mid-life waistlines be damned! |
I'm game. I think a lot of us would be "winning" sandwich bingo. Sadly the prize can be aggravation. Think I'd rather lose this bingo game!Late night snacks and maybe some wine and cheese in there would be nice. |

I’ve switched majors to spring allergies (considering a dual major in why are you such a jerk to your sister), minoring in what animals keep making those noises at 2 am, and are they dying?
