Getting Older

It dawned on me yesterday that I hadn't written my blog on Saturday so I logged in to write the blog & my computer started freezing.  It was so annoying that I just gave up trying & decided to wash some dishes and do some cleaning instead.  You know it's bad when you'd rather clean than sit there & wait for the web.  lol

Regardless, back to my blog story: I was sitting there getting ready to go to sleep when all of a sudden I get heartburn.  I thought to myself, "Man!  It can't be that a little bit of lasagna caused that...I've had jalapeños before & haven't gotten heartburn!"

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks, "I can't eat jalapeños anymore without getting heartburn, what am I talking about?"  So I'm thinking of a list of things that I can no longer do that I was able to do before, say 3 years ago when the little devil inside my head said to me, "Think again!  Try 6 years ago darling!"  "Uggh!"  was all I could muster.  So here we go!

Me, 6 yrs. ago, in college:
  • "More Jalapeños please" *heartburn from hell now if I have too many or eat them way late*
  • "I'm more of a hard liquor person" *as if it was cooler than drinking beer*
  • Ok!  See ya at 9pm!" *sometimes that was still early*
Me, 3 yrs. ago:
  • "I'd rather run" *Yeah! Now my tendons/muscles creak when I do*
  • "We can't just stay at home; that's boring!" *Ha!  Look at me now!*
  • "My hair will grow back fast; I'm not worried." *It still does, but now it takes longer*
Needless to say, I'm getting older...way faster than I care to admit or even notice and there's nothing I can do about it.  What are some of your I'm getting older moments?

Welcome to my world! LOL.

My body aches from minimal working out.

My back constantly hurts even when I get up in the morning. I feel like I have to sit up in bed first for a couple of secs before I can get up and start walking. Unlike before when I would just get up and go.

Heartburn? Me too.

And I hear you about 9PM being late... LOL. I told the Booger the other day that I it was past my bed time and it was only 10PM. She called me an old fart. :/

Past my bedtime is 9pm but only because I have to be up at 5am if I want to leave my house at 6am & make it to work on time.

If I wanted extra time for a small workout & breakfast, I'd have to wake up even earlier (say 4am) & that has yet to happen. I already hate going to bed at 9pm that I can't imagine having to hit the hay at 8pm.

Ok Ladies, I remember my younger days too....lol Man, just five years make a difference. I remember when I used to eat a whole box of cookies and felt fine, now I eat a box of cookies and a feel sick from all the suger. Going to sleep, well as of right now I go to sleep late.

Part of 3 here calls her man an old timer...lol I guess that's only b/c she still thinks she can stay up late like a young'in lol

I'm kidding! Baby S is probably keeping you up. So now do you know why when you're preggo complaining about the lack of sleep people tell you that's nothing & it's the last real rest you'll get??
