I go along day to day, I don't feel all that old in the main. Then something little happens from time to time and it hits me like a brick.

My son brought home his high school registration package yesterday.
I have a high school aged kid.

I wonder if I'll feel "old" any time soon. It'll be interesting to see what turning 30 will do. I still feel like a kid.

Being told by a doctor that I was too old for my birth control really hurt...I'm still hung up on that.

Now now. The problem here is not one self realization. Rather, the problem lies in your perception of this event. Lemme preach on it.

You, like most parents, see this occasion in the light of "I am aging. I am getting older. I am too young to have a child entering high school. Woe is me. Doom, despair and agony on me, deep dark depression, excessive misery." This method of perceiving the event will inevitably lead to a negative frame of mind.

Instead, you should look at it thusly: "Hot damn, four more years and the little &#^*$! is outta here!"

I hope this helps. Have a blessed day. :hug:

I gave my mother a birthday card yesterday that may make you laugh. The front said "Another Birthday, but don't worry" The inside said "You aren't old until you start putting your lipstick on way bigger than your mouth."

aw, ain't that the sweetest!
I shall try and look at it in that light. Maybe more than 4 years, but I guess I'm over the halfway hump with that one anyway.

The too old for birth control hit me too. My doctor was reading new-fangled research at the time, so he stopped me at thirty. :(

Oh. And yes, my legs are fused stiff when I wake up in the morning, as well as my neck and shoulders.

No...I don't think it's possible to be too old for condoms...Too small? Yes. Too old? No.

Try telling that to a senior who's complaining that he can't fit the Viagra pill into the condom cause it itches. Yup...He's too old!

Maybe you're legs wouldn't be so stiff if you weren't sleeping with them up around your neck and shoulders....
