Ms. AARP…Yes, I am 55 and I’m Just Now Accepting It.

It’s been several years since my little Matty Hoho left for Winona State University. He was child number three and my sweet, little angel.
Empty nester girl, here.
So, years passed and Mr. Matty Hoho ended up at the “U” (in this town, for those of you who read my post outside of the freezing, rotten cold state of Minnesota, is considered the University of Minnesota), graduated, took a job at an “Office Space” type of company (Epicore), hated it, and left for South Korea to teach English to a bunch of spoiled, rotten little children.
I thought that I would be so happy when I finally dumped the last kid. All three of them were pretty decent. All three of them were boys. Lucky me, that’s what I say. I still wanted them to be grown and gone. I spent more than half of my life raising them and I was dog gone tired.
Whoa!
I quickly lost my identity. Depression. Fast forward…
I am a Realtor. I also have my broker’s license. I just won the prestigious bronze award that my company, Keller Williams Realty, awards those of us who have worked very hard and achieved success in our business. I am also one of the owners of my Maple Grove franchise and have some brilliant and talented people working in our market center!
I’m liking the 55 thing. I call it the “double nickel”. Why not? If you’re not 55 yet, you will be. If you don’t think you will be, well…that means you will be dead by then.
I just got another AARP solicitation in the mail. I think I should finally open it. It’s time.
