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 !
