Whilst reflecting on why I have suddenly begun to feel ancient, I came across a 'lovely' article, which made me realise I'm not the only one to feel old ... Women feel old at 29! So I decided to compile a list of things that make me realise that I am no longer as young as I'd like to be:
- It makes my day when I'm told I look too young to have an 11 year old, I wish I was!
- I meet someone who I assume is about the same age as me to find out they're 10 years younger. Do they look really awful for their age or do I just have poor judgement?!
- Then I meet someone who is the same age as me who looks way older and I begin to wonder if I look as old as them!!
- The fact that I have actually started to think about my age, it never worried me before.
- I enjoy clubbing but beginning to wonder if the underage teenagers think I should be at home snuggled on the sofa rather than out having fun!
- I realise that most people my age would rather be snuggled on the sofa than out clubbing!
- I love bouncing on the trampoline but have to get off slowly.
- When I'm at the park with the kids, I have to assess if I can get off the climbing frame, before I get on it!
- Finally accepted that my mum is always right ... your metabolism starts to slow down as you get older, so eat less or you'll get fat!
- Pretty sure I'm beginning to get wrinkles. Can I call them laughter lines?!
