January blues

What is it with me and emoticons? that little should be an 18 (ie when I "blossomed" physically).

I just had to add one more thing: Forgive me if the above post is a little scatter brained. I am VERY tired and should probably not be posting in this dopey state!

There is nothing to forgive...your post was right on.I think you have a wonderful attitude about aging and thats a great thing.I've been like that too my whole life...never much cared how i aged either.And like you thank God i was blessed with good genes!People still think i'm 35...and when i take my grandkids out they think they are MY children!I believe how you think and act affect what you look like as you age.I still think i'm 17...but at least i act about 25 now!LOL But i still change diapers and do all that mother stuff..but now i do it only if i feel like it...or my kids beg me hard enough!Thing is i love doing it more now then when i had my own babies.If you keep thinking like you do i'm sure you'll age into a beautiful classy woman!

Ok - This posting was vey appropo since I will be turning 30 this year and have been freaking out about it for a while. I feel similar to Jen. I was very gawky, unpopular, etc when I was in high school. When I got to college and actually towards the end of college I was finally getting comfortable with myself and hgaving a blast. Up until this year I still felt like I looked like I was 16 and in high school. That is until I got a 16 year old babysitter for my son and realized I don't think like that anymore. Anyhow, now I am married with one child and plans for another one this summer and I am starting to feel my age. I loved being 27. That was the perfect age. I could stay there forever. I was 1 year out of grad school, making lots of money, thin, pretty, traveling all over the world for work, having fun, life couldn't be better. Now I feel like I have the weight of the world on me. A hubby with several hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt, a mortgage, car payments, a baby, a nanny, a job, bills, insurance, investments, RESPONSIBILITIES up the ying yang and I am the only one that has time to attend to it all.



Sometimes I think about what things might have been like if my husband had gotten into med school sooner, or I married someone else - meaning someone who is already making a living (above the poverty level), not had to move away from home for his residency, etc. But then I think about how much I love my husband and my son and I don't think I could trade it for anything in the world.



OH - my - how did I get from talking about turning 30 to this - well I guess that is what is bothering me about 30. I am feeling like my carefree youth is all gone. Most times it isn't an issues, but then others when I am alone at night and my son is asleep and I am having insomnia I reflect on all this. Anyone else feel the same?
