You know you are getting older when…
I had to fill out a form in case I should happen to get hurt at work… if I break an arm tripping on the steps, or slip on a wet floor in the café… heaven forbid anything should happen.
But it made me kinda laugh! When they asked for contact information I put down my two (almost grown up) children… Most people probably put down a spouse, but being single I could not…
I remember not long ago how I was sending forms to school with my emergency contact information in case one of my kids should happen to get hurt on the playground or during a sporting event… it is funny how life does come around…

I am truly an "in-betweener" – taking care of my kids AND taking care of my dad. Even though my Dad is far away there are not many days that go by when I do not check in with him to be sure he has been eating well, driving OK, getting over the latest cold and wearing his sun screen!
I guess it just goes to show that we all need taking care of no matter our age or rank in the family… we all need someone to contact in case of emergency…

Hmmmmm I wonder if I put down Horatio Caine from CSI Miami, or Richard Gere or Keanu Reeves if one of them would come to my rescue should I get hurt…. Only in my dreams….
