True Signs Of Getting Old
Posted on Thursday, March 30, 2006 at 3:55 amCategory: Uncategorized
I’m reflecting today. Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday and she turned 14. *huge sigh* It’s scary to think that in just four years she will be considered an adult. It actually seems only yesterday that I was warming her bottle. BTW I’m also facing my son’s birthday in a few months, he’ll be 11. *another huge sigh*
About these signs and why I decided to warn everyone. Truth is in a few months (August) I’ll be turning 30. Now I’ve been teased about being close to 30 for about five years now. Truck Dude is always teasing me about being an old woman (he’s two years younger).
So here are some signs that your getting old:
1) Your favorite music is now considered classic.
2) You remember when your stereo didn’t have a slot for a cd.
3) Plucking the grey hair would cause you to be bald.
4) You can remember gas costing less than a buck.
5) If you were a car you’d be an antique and parts would be hard to find.
6) The spam with the title line “lift those bags ” is starting to sound like a good idea.
7) Your kids look at you funny when they see pictures of you in your best “Blossom” hat.
The show on tv was Beverly Hills 90210 not Dr. 90210.
9) You start using your mothers favorite lines (example: Don’t make me count to 3).
10) You watch “I Love The 80’s” on VH1 and remember everything and wonder what happened to the good ole’ days
Hope you have a great day,
Haven Rich

I know what you mean…;)
I don’t have children but I do use my mother’s lines on my younger siblings and cousins. I listen to the “classics” and think the same things “where have the good ol’ days gone?”. I’ve also caught myself saying “Those kids…” when I see teenagers acting up.
LOL, thanks for the walk down memory lane, Haven.

Sometimes I’m just wowed by the fact that my daughter is now 14 and my son will be 11 and acksss I’m going to be 30.
In truth, I’m excited about being 30…it means my sister will stop teasing me about “turning” 30. Of course then I get 10 years worth of “your going to be 40 soon”.

Oh, please no. I don’t want to think about getting old *lol*
The examples are really funny though. I remember Beverly Hills… Never was a big fan of it, but I remember it… Scary *shivers*
