The big 5-0 is looming on the near horizon.
It feels like I'm picking up speed to reach that goal on a daily basis.
Considering the alternative, I'm ok with approaching that milestone.
That's right, I'm now entering that dreaded middle age.
Perhaps that is why I am always so warm.
Or, perhaps it's because, Ahhhmmm, I'm a mobile hotspot.
You heard me right.
A mobile hotspot.
You know that whole tethering thing.
Wikipedia wants us to think tethering has something to do with turning your smartphone into a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot sharing your phones data connection.
Well, we mama's, we know a thing or two about tethering.
For Pete's sake, we had a peanut sized baby literally tethered to us for 9 whole months. That turned into a toddler that was tethered to our legs in any new situation, that graduated to a youngster that was tethered to us dropping them off at grade school. Moving on into the teen years the tethering took on new definition as they were tethered to us in monetary ways that were somehow connected to the use of the family vehicle.
Womanipedia defines the journey this way:
Mobile HOTspot; A young woman who turns up the heat to attract a young man, therefore starting on her HOTspot journey. Accelerating forward she encounters her first tethering experience. Realizing this is a marathon not a sprint, 9 months later her HOTspot journey has her becoming mobile. Chasing her little darlin she decides to share her data connection and tether another littler peanut. Life zooms along at light speed. Before long she enters the last of her HOTspot years. She will experience flashes of heat and night sweats. Unexplained bouts of joy and sadness all at once. Then, thankfully for everyone, before you she knows it, the HOTspot years will be a fuzzy, distant memory.
There you have it.
The new improved version of a mobile HOTspot.
Perhaps this middle aged thing won't be so bad after all. Clearly, many many women have gone before and survived.
Their husbands, hopefully they survived this journey too!
