35?!?

How is it that time passes more quickly then your mind ages?  If that makes any sense at all.  I have not been looking forward to this age at all, but it hasn't been too bad.  The kids were full of 'happy birthdays' before they went to school, I went out to lunch with friends, then had a really nice dinner with my family.  It was a great day, a perfect day to start 35.
