You know, my kids keep telling me I’m old but I choose not to believe them. They’re just little punks, they don’t know anything. When I was 10, 25 was over the hill - when I was 15, 30 was freakin ancient – you had one foot in the grave. Now that I’m 29 for the 14th year in a row 50 year olds seem like babies – funny how perception changes. But, after this week I can no longer deny that age is sucking up my brain cells at a terrifying rate of speed.
You know you are getting old when:
- You go to the drive through at the bank and leave with the tube for the money(oops!)
- You stand outside your front door trying to unlock it by pushing the button to unlock your car doors (and not just once or twice)
- You take your kid to school and realize as soon as you get home that her drawers are in still in the dryer (yes I ran right back up to the school to straighten her out – poor kid)
- Husbands out of town so you send him some naughty emails – when he tells you he didn’t get them you realize you sent them to the wrong email address(sorry mom)
- You stick your daughters pink boa she wants to take in for show and tell in her big brothers book bag (he’s damaged for life)
- Every morning you sit at the red light down the street and look at the tree sticking it’s tongue out at you but today you stick your tongue out at the tree. (even the trees are mocking me)

There’s no hope – age has got hold of me and turned me into a crazy old woman. The upside, I seem to be making people happy, because they just can’t stop laughing.
