As you grow older, there are little signs along the way, that remind you that your youth is passing you by. Sometimes it is the one, mushed up cheek wrinkle that seems to stay on your face for an hour after you wake up. Or maybe its when you realize that the push-up bra you have is no longer an "OPTION" but is now a "NECESSITY"! What ever your signs are...they're right there...everyday, taunghting you with another year under your belt.
Well, this weekend a seemingly simple event REALLY made me feel my age. My hubby's friend was down from Chicago. He came over to the house on Saturday night. We all hung out, drank a bit, and generally just had a good time. We finally made it to bed about 3am. BUT...we were back up at 6:30am with Lily....UGH! Now...here is were the "old" comes in. Used to I could bounce back from a late night out like a champ. I am a night owl by nature, so staying up late and functioning the next day was never an issue for me. WHOA.....talk about reality check. It is now Monday morning and I still feel like I have a lack-o-sleep hangover!!! I spent yesterday forcing myself to walk around so that I wouldn't fall into a coma!! I seriously felt ill all day...just from a lack of sleep! When the hell did I turn into my grandma??? What's next for me....Dinner at 4pm, bed by 8pm, and moving to Arizona to become a snowbird!!! YIKES!
So this morning, while taking my coffee via an IV, I kissed my hubby goodbye as he shuffled out the door. I find myself sitting in my chair, listening to Matt and Meredith report on the news, checking e-mail and blog stalking some fav's. My butt is firmly planted in this chair with little to no hope of it moving for the majority of the day. Astornauts fly around the world from their seat, so today I am mothering my family from my seat...!! Like it or not!
Have a good one!

I think the 'old' thing is worse for me because I don't SEE myself as old...and when something happens (like the not bouncing back from the late night) it is pushed in my face. I think I am going to find a seat and mother from it too. ;0) Thankfully I can use the phone and laptop from my seat. Hugs. m
A year older and a year wiser.
The beauty of the computer age is you can even order a pizza online pay for it and the kids can meet the gut at the door in 30 minutes.
Praise God- we don't have to change diapers anymore.
