It's JUNE already. Can u believe it? I can't .. where has the year gone? It's already mid-way! .. Soon, the stores will be putting out their Christmas decorations. I swear the time is just going by so fast ... and while the kids get bigger and we celebrate their milestones .. we are getting older.
Ok, my bad .. I meant I AM GETTING OLDER. And does that freak me out? Hell yes! .. I used to think I wouldn't want to be one of those women who would freak out when someone asks how old they are .. and I still don't .. but now, I understand WHY they do it. Man, it's hard accepting that your youth is behind you. Young guys don't check you no more .. instead, they respectfully move aside for you to walk by with your pram and screaming kids.
Oh the horror of that realization.
I am getting old. I will be 38 this year .. 2 days after Christmas .. I'll be celebrating my 38th birthday .. I'll then be 2 years from my 40th birthday .. and we all know what that is ..
It's DOWNHILL from there, man .. DOWNHILL. High blood pressure pills, bifocals .. early menopause (possibly) .. 40 is the OLD ZONE .. I won't be in my mid or late 30s .. In 2014, I'll be in my early 40s. That is of course, IF the world doesn't come to an end like in that movie with John Cusack "2012".
That is shit scary. When I was a teen, I thought 30s was OLD. And here I am, about to be 40 IN 2 YEARS TIME.
When my mom was getting older, she'd act all freaky .. and my brothers and I had zero clue what was happening. She'd tell us not to call her "Mummy" in public .. she had us young .. at 21, so by the time I was 16, she was only 37 and she would throw a fit if we raised our voices in public to call her "Mummy" .. we were instructed to tell the shopkeepers she wasn't our mother .. she said they were all nosy she said ..Now, I understand. She didn't want them to know her age. *I'm rolling my eyes here*
I, on the other hand, strive to not be as freakish as she was. I readily tell people my age .. and beam if they say I look good for my age after 5 kids or just ignore them if they have mean things to say .. there will always be mean people around anyway.
It still doesn't stop me from panicking at my impending senior citizenship status .. Hubby says I should stop colouring my hair and act my age ... lol :p He's a guy what does he know? .. I'm 38 not 68 .. I ain't walking around with half a head of white hair .. JUST YET.
OK .. now I just have to worry about zombies ...
