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

Wonderful waste of time

 I tried to warn you that I had so much to tell you... So We have been spending so much time at the hospital with my dad.  I mean we were all there for several days (now we are taking turns-he's doing well and we had to go back to work).  And you know how it is everyone brings something to keep them busy so that they can ward off boredom.  Well Val had been using one of those round loom things that you can knit hats and such.  She had made herself one and while there her knitting caught the attention of one of my nieces (Katie) and she wanted to know how to make one for herself.  So Val being excited to show someone sat down with her and gave her the loom and some yarn and helped her along.  That girl made her whole hat.  She loves it and wears it everywhere already.  Before we knew it Haleigh was in on learning to make hats.  They were having such a good time knitting away while visiting with their papa and all his company.  ...

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...

My baby girl

 found this pic, not sure but I believe she was 3 April 12th (yes i know it is the 13th now)...This date in 1999 we welcomed into the world our sweet baby Britt.  She had a bit of a rough time in the first week, but wow look at her now.  She is 12.  Cant believe she is already almost a teen. (yuck)  We were so spoiled with Val that when Miss Britt came along she set our world on edge.  Thats right, she was quite a mess(not sleeping throught the night even to this day she sleep walks) But you wouldn't meet a sweeter, kinder girl.  She has the biggest heart.  Ive been thinking alot about her today with reason, it was after all her birthday.  She got to bring her horse to our pasture this week inlight of her day, so she didn't really seem to mind that I had to work and she had a softball game on her birthday.  As long as she gets to play with Ladybug alittle before the day is over.  She is now fast asleep in her bed(for now)...
