Getting older...ugh

It's the granny glasses
But on the bright side.  I can see much better :)
 
 
I have been slacking a bit.  I forgot to do the Throwback Thursday and thought to myself oh I'll just do flashback friday and well I forgot that too.  So here it is almost time for throwback thursday again and I'm praying I don't forget it again this week.
I blame it on getting older.  I know, so many things get blamed on that but for me today I am using that excuse as it is the best one I have at the moment.  
Now I've never really paid much attention to the fact that I am getting older.  It's happening every day just dealing with my girls I can see how much I've changed.  They remind me often that I am old but it still hasn't really bothered me.  That was until this past Wednesday, that is the day age really slapped me in the face.  I had to get glasses.  No not just any glasses.  I already had a pair of glasses for driving as I was having a hard time with far sightedness.   But now, I have noticed a bit of an issue with near sightedness as well.  So the eye doctor said I needed another pair of glasses and to cut down on having to switch from one pair to the other he prescribed bifocals...BIFOCALS.  I thought only grandma's wore bifocals and heaven knows I'm not a grandma yet. 
This has really bothered me.  Don't ask me why I do not know and can not answer that question.  And other than the glasses I still don't worry about the number referred to as my age. In fact I am so close to forty that I can smell it coming (even with the glasses I can't see it as it is just over a year away) 39 in June.  I'm good with my age I just hate that all those little things I heard my parents complain about are starting to happen to me.  Aches in my joints. My knees and shoulder mostly and now my vision.  My daddy said back in December while in the hospital that "getting old ain't for sissies"  I am starting to see what he means.   But I'm tough and I am going to be ok with it. 
   
I think sometimes that it would be nice to go back to when we were young but then my brain kicks in and makes me laugh that thought out of my head.  Why on earth would I want to go back to crying babies with diapers or to us with only one income struggling to buy the things we need for those crying babies.  No I kind of like this old age thing.  We almost (yes i said almost) have our heads screwed on straight and are just starting to get this grown up thing to work for us. 
 
Thanks for reading my ramblings today.  Maybe I won't forget the throwback tomorrow ;)
 
 
Ps.  Hubby says the glasses are sexy (I think he must get paid to say that)  hehe :)
 
Have a fantastic day

Monday, my favorite day of the week?

Well yes.  I do love Mondays, as much as Saturday or Sunday?  When I worked at the credit union I lived for the federal holidays to come around, it was so nice to spend the day home alone without any care in the world...except when that holiday was also a day for the kids to be out of school or Stephen to be off work.  Don't read into that...I love my family, but I also enjoy time to do what I like to do with out having to listen to the girls fussing at each other or Stephen playing video games or watching some silly show on TV.  With this new job, well it's like I get a holiday weekend every single week.  YAY! working 4 days off 3 is by far the best shift I have ever worked  Now don't get me wrong.  I like my job, but who doesn't love weekends right?  I mean really...look at what I get to do all day...sleep in if I want, play on the computer with the house being completely quiet. (priceless by the way) I get to share my thoughts on this sill...

A new year

Ugh!  I have started and deleted this blog entry more times than I care to admit. :)  I have so many things floating around in my mind that I want to write about that I keep jumbling them all up on the page and they are not making sense to me so I am sure you will not have a clue what I am saying...babble, babble, babble... Anyway maybe this one will work for us all. The new year.  2012  Wow.  I am getting so old, I don't ever recall thinking this far in to the future when I was a kid except maybe when I watched movies with flying cars and hoovering skate boards and such thinking it would be neat to have a flying car.  but here we are still living a pretty normal life without all that stuff. I chuckle a little when I think of all the things I enjoy, these things certainly don't "fit" the year 2012 as the movie writers would write it. Because I don't want a flying car, I think it would be fun to ride a horse everywhere or have a covered w...

Throwback Thursday

    Let me just start by saying straight out of the gate that I absolutely hate to be on the front side of any camera much less my own.  Now it isn't that I don't enjoy being in the moment, I do.  I just enjoy taking the pictures instead of being in them if that makes any sense at all.   With that said I'm glad I was on the front side of this camera this day.  I suppose all little girls dream of growing up, getting married and having babies.  I know when I was a little girl my friends and i would play house, we would more less mark of sections of the room as mine and theirs these sections would be my house or her house.  we'd have baby dolls name them fun names.  We had fun.  I don't know that I ever really thought about actually having children when I grew up.  And as I got older I remember that I didn't even want to get married when I grew up much less have any kids.  But we all grow up. And that guy comes along t...
