When my wife made the big weight loss bet with me, I had two thoughts: if she does it, she will look great and that will be fun, if you know what I mean! If she doesn’t, I don’t have to get braces. Either way, I win.
When she said that she wanted to go back to school to become a nurse, I thought, “She is really making some big changes in her life!” But, I thought it would be a good thing for her.
Now I starting to wonder…
Am I in denial? Will I look back and conclude that I ignored the obvious signs?
Think about it, out of the blue, she wants to lose weight. That subject has been off limits for years. No se toca! (That’s a little Spanish lingo for “Do Not Touch”)
Then, she wants to get her own career…earn her own cash…
Hmm…
I’m no physicist but I can handle elementary math…
She’ll be lookin’ fine AND she’ll have her own mu-nay!?
Now that I think about it, it does seem that every week I learn about a different young buck taking classes with her at the local junior college.
Oh sure, the stories are all innocent and above board. But…
Isn’t that the way it always is???
Today, she asked our youngest daughter to sign her up for the ACT test! She said that she HAS to take it in order to be eligible for nursing school. They are going to take it together!
Do you see what I am getting at?
What if this is just the early phases of a mid-life crisis? What if she is tired of the “old man”? What if…
Umm, I have to go now…
I’ve got to put some more of that hair growth goo on my head…
got to go work out…
