Mid-life crisis

How old does one have to be to officially be having a mid-life crisis?

I'm trying to decide if I'm in one right now.  Dropped facebook because of old insecurities and new found voyeurism that sometimes confused me and made me wonder what I was doing.  Yet, I miss it sometimes.

I'm changing up my teaching style and teaching ways and trying new things.  I can't decide if I'm simply changing my expectations or lowering them or becoming a better teacher.  I just don't know.

I'm in bed now with questions bouncing around my head so much that I can't sleep, even after a chelada.  So, then I wonder if I need to be studying something or sharing things that are more spiritual based that teach me and challenge me.  But the questions are random.....some family related, like should I force my daughter who doesn't like Sunday school to go to it simply because it's church? Or is it?  Some professional related questions arise.  Lots of life questions come up and worries that I typically get through okay but suddenly things are big.  Like my butt.  Big.

So, there I am.  Out there. Wondering if I'm ever going to qualify as normal or if I ever want to.  Wondering if 44 is when mid-life hits and these are all normal things or whether I'm one step closer to insanity.

Then I wonder if I need to spend time learning the digital scrapbooking art from my buddy, Kelly, so when I need an outlet of creativity I could scrap my girls' lives, or better yet, our lives together.  Sigh.

Somebody, somewhere has to know the answers to all of these problems!  lol.  No, seriously.  Help.

  1. There has to be a bottle of "Less Stress" somewhere. You do need a hobby. :O)

  2. OMG Cindy, my security word to post that last comment was "less stress." Of course it was spelled lessesse, but we don't need to get picky here when we're given a sign. :O)
