In a couple of weeks my oldest son will be turning 20. Now that makes me feel seriously old. The fact that I’m turning 41 this year doesn’t make me feel old, but his age does. Thankfully I have the two younger kids around to make me still feel young. My daughter is turning 11 in August and my little fellow will be turning 9 in August. Now their ages don’t bother me, but my oldest son’s certainly does. I realize that we all age every day, but I really have to wonder where in heck did the last 20 years go. I shudder to think how old I will be feeling when he turns 30 or 40. I have a few years yet to worry about that. But man, I really am starting to feel old these days.

I just love give aways, now don’t you?

Well a good friend of mine is having a give away over at her blog over at Mom Knows Everything. This particular give away is a collection of Chicken Soup for the Soul books. This is a collection of books geared toward the middle schooler, the high schooler and the college student. This are amazing books for any child to be able to get into their book collection.

It’s really easy to enter her contest. All you need to do is comment on her post as to what book you would like and why. And if you’d like more entries, you can also do a blog post, twitter about it, and subscribe to her feed reader. The contest ends on April 30. So what are you waiting for??? Run on over to Mom Knows Everything and put you name in for the running.

As you all know, this coming weekend just happens to be Easter. We really don’t have any plans as of yet because I have to work Saturday and Sunday, but hopefully we will do something special either Friday or Monday. My husband and I both have those days off as do the kids. The kids are actually off for five days in a row so hopefully one of those days we can do something as a family even if it’s only going out to eat somewhere.

So what are you plans for Easter? Anything exciting or just the same old, same old?
