"When you're a mom
on the other side of 40,
"with a daughter only
six months away from college,
"sometimes, you just
can't help but wonder...
"Like, what if I'd taken
that internship
"with the ad agency?
"But then I realize,
"being a mother
is not all that different
"from the corporate world.
"You start out unsure,
feeling your way,
"juggling
I'm hungry!
When are we gonna get there?
Hi, this is Carly Ashby.
I need to make an appointment
for my daughter, Sadie?
"...A more challenging position,
"where you learn
to tell the difference
between a real problem... "
Moron!
No, no, not you.
"... and whining..."
I have to go
to the bathroom.
Honey, we'll be home soon.
"All the while,
"still making sure
everything gets done.
"One day, you reach a point
"where your insight
and experience are appreciated,
"and before you know it,
"you're more than
just a worker,
you're a partner."
You'll never guess.
David Sarlo
asked me to the dance!
He's so cute!
At first, I thought
he liked Avery,
but then Jenna told Sophie
that he liked me...
"Where you share
the kind of mutual respect
"that can only be nurtured
over the years by listening.
But that's where
the similarities end."
"Because unlike a corporate job,
"you never retire
from being a mother.
"After all the scraped knees,
and messy room,
"grocery and dentist bills,
"the girl scout
and PTA Meetings,
"piano lessons,
the school plays,
"concerts,
and sports practices,
"not to mention
the driving lessons,
"it was spring
of her senior year,
"and she suddenly...
"grew up.
"Even when your children
grow up,
"they'll always need you
"and want to share
things with you.
"At least, you hope they do.
"Because if they don't...
"well, that just might
turn out to be
the hardest part of the job."
Happy Birthday,
Carly.
Oh, Ryder,
it's beautiful!
The new vegan recipe
Vegan! Great!
All right,
blow out the candles,
make a wish.
Carly, what are you doing?
It's your birthday,
let me take care of this.
Ryder, you've already
done enough already.
Besides, you need to
get home to your baby.
No, I just talked
to Peter,
Cole is still down
for his nap.
And besides, I live
right next door,
so I can literally
be there in two seconds
if they need me.
Thank you for everything
you did for my party.
It was so much fun.
Well, speaking of fun,
what does the birthday girl
have planned
for the rest of her evening?
Hey, Mom,
Trish just texted me,
wants to know if
I can go to a movie.
Can I go? Please?
It looks like
the birthday girl's
going to be waiting up
for her daughter.
Just be home by 11:00.
Thanks. Love you.
Oh, and
happy birthday.
Thanks, honey.
Be safe!
And to think
I was worried
you wouldn't have
anything to do tonight.
It's fine, Ryder.
It'll give me a chance
to write my blog.
Okay, do not make me regret
introducing you
What are you talking about?
I love writing my blog.
And I really think
I have something to say.
I just hate to see you
alone on your birthday.
I'm not alone.
I have thousands of followers
who need to see a picture
of this vegan cake.
Dad?
Troy.
Didn't know you
were stopping by.
Yeah, I was, um...
I was wondering if maybe
Just until next payday.
Stu and I are
gonna hang out.
Didn't you just
get paid yesterday?
Well, yeah, but I meant,
until I get paid next week.
You really need to manage
your money more responsibly.
No, I do, it's just,
I had to buy new wheels
for my board.
And it's like you always say,
priorities, right?
Yeah, I also always say
I won't be sending you money
every time you blow through
your monthly allowance
once you're in college.
So, that would be a "no"?
Ding-ding-ding.
Thank you for playing.
Better luck next time.
Thanks, Dad.
I really learned
Thanks, Aunt Lauren.
Have fun, kiddo.
a lesson.
And I'm trying to be
his fun aunt.
You're not helping, Lauren.
See?
I'm not alone.
Thanks for the ride.
Bye.
I'm sorry,
did I wake you up?
Oh, no.
Did you have fun?
Yeah.
How was the movie?
It was good.
You know.
Yeah.
Well, as long as you had fun.
'Night, Mom.
'Night, kiddo.
"If you're a baseball player
"and you get a hit
"every other time
you step up to the plate,
"they put you
in the Hall of Fame.
"If you're a parent
with that same batting average,
"all you can think about
is where you went wrong.
"Unfortunately, there's
no minor league for parenting.
Hello.
Hi!
I brought a centerpiece
from the store.
I thought
it might help.
Carly, it's beautiful.
Well, what's
a Spring bake sale
without
a few flowers?
Thank you.
This all looks
delicious.
Well, that's
kind of the idea.
Hey, did you
get an invite
for the Bloggers Event
at the community arts center?
Yeah, I got it.
You're going to
go, right?
I don't know...
Oh, come on, Carly,
you have to go.
Blog readers love
to put a name to a face.
Plus, it's
to get your numbers up.
I'm a little
distracted right now.
We just registered Sadie
for classes
at community college.
That's great.
Yeah, she's happy.
But not quite as happy
as her mom, right?
What does that mean?
Well, you know, Sadie
goes off to college,
you have some time
to maybe, you know,
live it up a little?
It's community
college, Ryder.
She'll still be living at home.
"Living it up" is not
exactly in the curriculum.
Carly, it's been 14 years
since Jeff walked out on you,
and you've done
a wonderful job
raising Sadie,
but it's springtime
It's the perfect time
for a new beginning,
especially for you.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
But it is not easy
to meet new people,
and I'm way out of practice.
Well, you just leave that
up to me.
Wait, what?
Don't be so nervous.
It's like riding a bicycle.
Okay, Conner,
not a toy.
I need to see
your throat again,
so can you open your mouth,
like, real wide?
Mm-mm, no.
Can you open your mouth
real wide like a big old shark,
about to take a bite?
- No!
- No? Why not?
I don't want to be a shark.
What do you want to be?
I want to be a T-Rex.
He just loves dinosaurs.
Okay, why don't you
open your mouth
like a big old T-Rex
about to take a bite?
There we go.
Yeah.
Oh... okay.
Can you just...
Yeah.
Open your mouth wide...
Okay. All right, Conner,
you can jump down.
He really likes you, I can tell.
Yeah...
but I don't think
it's strep,
but we're going to
send his swab down to the lab
just to, uh, to be sure.
Okay? Lauren!
Morning, Tracy.
Good morning.
Would you send
Conner's swab
over to the lab,
and see how fast they get
back to us with results?
Absolutely, Doctor.
I could come back
in a few days,
if you think that'll help?
Uh, no, no.
We'll just see
