You know you are middle aged when .........

With apologies to my parents (although when you talk to them they have embraced a second childhood !!!)

Yes .... you know you are middle aged when:

• Your brother celebrates his 50th birthday
• You find hairs where there just shouldn't be hairs (WTF is it with chin hairs on a woman !!)
• Worse still .... they are grey or even white !!!
• You take your dog for a walk after a week off (Greg was on holiday and doing this last week) AND ......even though you have only done the mile walk ............your legs are telling you to go home !
• You crave your thermal vest in the cold weather

You are a NANA !

• You realise that this year is the 30th anniversary of you leaving school
• A good night out is actually a good night in !
• In April ... your youngest leaves his teenage years behind !!
• At an old school reunion you wonder who all these middle aged women are ....... and then look in the mirror
• You give up on wearing high heels ..... thank goodness kitten heels are in fashion !
• The fashion industry is conspiring against you ..... I'm sure the clothes sizes are getting smaller !!!

BOOBS !!!! What the hell happened to you !!!!!!

• Your husband has to ask you to translate at the cinema cos his hearing is dodgy !
• Or ... he keeps pausing and rewinding the TV .... "I didn't catch that"
• My handbag doubles as a medicine cabinet
• After a day at work I come in ... sit down ..... flick on the TV and have a cuppa .... and that is BLISS
• You look back in a diary of 10 years ago and think .... how the hell did I fit all that into ONE DAY
• You rest in between bits of housework .... no longer hoovering the whole house at a time .... upstairs ..... rest  ..........then downstairs !
• You would exercise .... but it gives you a headache !

My Brain ...... can anyone tell me where that is ?? Or at least locate my memory .... please ...

On the plus side ..... 

• I love (almost) every minute of it ..... life is too short not to enjoy these intriguing aspects of age!
• My husband still loves all of me ... including the wobbly bits
• THANK GOODNESS I don't have to exercise like I used to ..... I do the odd bit now and then but my headaches are a great excuse these days !

I LOVE my grandchildren ....... and I can give them back !

• I am more confident in many ways ..... 
• I am not a slave to my money ..... my bank manager may not think the same but I don't worry as much !
• CONTENTMENT is seriously underestimated .... 
• Not having to date ..... thank heavens for my DAH !
• Not needing to compete with drinking games etc .... I never could hold my drink LOL
• Having 3 wonderful grown up children to chat to.

Yep ..... I know I am middle aged .....and am quite enjoying it !
