Your name is Sarah Palin and you just woke up from a wild dream. You have been picked as the 2008 Republican nominee for Vice President. You’ve got 5 kids, one only 4 months old that you are nursing and the oldest - a private in the US Army is heading for Iraq next month. You are about to live on a bus and in hotel rooms you will never remember for the next 60 days. You are about to enter national media hell… and you just woke up. Only you are not dreaming. This is real.

Some would call you lucky, some unfortunate, some blessed, some would call you cursed. After 44 years on earth, this is where you are. You joined the PTA back in your hometown in Alaska because you wanted to make changes in the school system. Who knew where it would all lead thirteen years later.

Midlife does have it’s surprises.
