Today is the day….
Big things happening today! First TIBD is arriving late afternoon — I’m soooo hyped! We’ve been cleaning and getting things ready and I’ve been trying to get my school work done in advance (which is not as in advance as I would like *rats*). We haven’t seen the TIBD family in over 4 years! Yikes! The twins were just babies who had just learned how to sit up right before they left. Of course since Sunday we’ve had severe winds and high wind advisories and rain. Until then, gorgeous every day. No wind, no rain, and sunny skies and warm temps. The winds are supposed to be here through Thursday — Blah!
Also today is the day that Silver_Fangz’s phone goes goodbye. *tear* — ahhh well, she will figure it out. Although I have to give her props — she took her permit test yesterday and passed with flying colors (only missed 2 and one of those because she misread the question). Then she got all her paperwork in and got into Driver’s Ed. at the high school. Those are two good things! Of course something happens to you when your child gets her learning permit. You begin to realize that time didn’t stand still and that in a few short years she’ll be off on her own conquering the world. You look in the mirror and suddenly the gray hair and the wrinkles pop out of the mirror like they are in 3D. Aches and pains are more noticeable and you wonder how on earth this happened in just one day?? Yesterday I was young and ready to go. Today I’m securely middle aged. Humph. The funny part of this is that mentally — I feel like I’m still 20 something. How can such a disconnect be valid?
Sophomore Banquet is Friday. Silver_Fangz is going with Boyfriend. Yesterday was his official BD and we had dinner and cake for him here along with both of their best friends. They all seemed to enjoy it. SF made the cake and took great care to make it just perfect for him. It’s so cute. I like her boyfriend, he’s a nice kid. I have a few problems with him like he’s 19. He’s also unemployed, doesn’t go to school and doesn’t have his drivers license. Besides that, he’s 19. Did I mention that he’s 19? He’s now planning to move to NM this summer when we do.
Great.
Well like one of my commenters said… parenting isn’t for cowards (and neither is aging)!
Well if I’m going to finish the house and my homework I’d better get going. I’ll be back later to read and comment! Have a great day!
Question of the day:
Do you feel your age (either mentally or physically)?
Comments (17)
With all the stuff going on at my house in the last couple of days, I am definitely feeling my age plus about 20 years!!!
i don’t feel 33 at all!!!!!! i feel like i am still 20 something. i am so jealous you get to see TIBD. i want to meet you both!!!!!!!!!
I think I have arthritis in my knee. OMG, that freaks me out! :hammer:
I feel my age mentally, in a good way. :big-smile: Physically, not so much but I guess a little. Sounds like you have lots going on, have a great visit with your friends.
Mentally, I’m 25… physically, uh…. older than I should, lol! You said it… nothing like a driving permit to age you! Have fun
!
He’s planning to move when y’all do??? Oh man………
Ah well, yes, I feel more than my age physically I think, and mentally, well I’m about 20 years behind! or is this a second childhood? :wink-wink:
Have fun with your friend!
No! I’m going to be 40 in about a month and I’m feeling the same way as you. How did I get this old. My Mom was 40 when her first grandchild was born, I have a 2 year old. That just seems so weird to me because I remember her when she was 40 and I thought she was so old. I’m hoping that 40 is the new 30.
He’s moving to NM? I sure hope he grows up a little and gets a job and a license! I would have died if I couldn’t drive at 19.
Not at all! It’s impossible that that I am in my 50s, when I feel the same as I did in my 20s, or at least 30s. Except for those darn twinges of arthritis that always catch me by surprise! How in the world can I have arthritis when I’m only – (counts on fingers) – oh, nevermind. : )
I mostly don’t feel my age, I feel (and look, hopefully)younger but there are days when I feel ancient.
Sounds like you have some fun planned. I just posted about this very thing a few days ago. Didn’t get much of a response but what I did get was that people don’t feel their age. Some days I feel 4-almost 1 and some days I feel 101. Some days I feel 19. It just depends on the day.
Some days I feel older then I am, other days I feel younger. I had to laugh when you said it all happened in one day, lol.
I am 47 and still feel about 25 in my mind. Kids and trial can make you feel older if you can’t welcome the wisdon they bring you. (always looking for that silver lining…) How in the world is this 19 year old planning to move to NM and survive without a job, a liscense, and an education? (ok, now I’m sounding older than my 25 ’in my mind’ years, but this is that wisdom part I mentioned earlier that comes with kids…)
ENJOY your company, rain or shine. They’re going to enjoy YOU regardless of the weather. Have fun!
Have a blast with the company! I hear ya about the boyfriend being 19.Jordan’s girlfriend is turning 18 and hes 16 dont really like that either lol.She drives too.But lucky they have been happy just hanging out at our house.
Nope I don’t feel my age………………….never……….hope you had a great day today……..blessings.:birdie::celebrate:
RYC: ha ha yes I do remember now. :hammer:
I feel every bit my age!…Sarah got her license on Tuesday, she drove herself to her game that evening, we made her take surface streets, but still, I wasn’t able to relax until she got home!..however, it has been nice to have her drive herself to school and practice and stuff, so I suppose that is good.
As for the 19 yr old boyfriend, yep, we so feel your pain….it blows to have girls who acto and look older so that older guys are interested in them!
Have fun wiith your friends.
Some days I feel my age and some I dont. Usually when I look in the mirror I dont really see me now I see me at 16 or 18. I still feel young and fun but then I go to the mall or something and theres a group of teenagers that annoy the crap out me in one way or another and then I feel 30! Also, being in the military and joining later in life than most do, so many of the guys my husband works with, and of course their wives, are so young! That makes me feel old but I shouldnt cause they still want to hang with us, lol!
