Really...?

I admit it...there are several times a week that I think to myself, Emily..you are getting old!! But Emily, I need an example you may say.

Well I have a few:
1. When I go to bed late and then try to get up for work the next morning.  And I'm not talking about staying out late and partying.  I'm talking about staying up late, watching a dvr show, or working on my online class.
2. When I try to have a glass (or two) of wine and wake up with a headache the next morning. I'm not saying that I love to get crunk or anything, but sometimes I would like to feel older and sophisticated by having a glass of vino without paying for it the next 2 days!
3. When I walk and my bones make noises.  Ankles, knees, and any ol' joint pops and cracks like I'm 90 and feeble.  
4. When I see a child and my ovaries hurt...it's true! I mean maybe I'm not exactly ready for children, but when I see a kid I think it's cute now.  Instead of getting nauseous and freaking out...I really feel my insides leap for joy. 
5. When you ask a little kid when they were born and they say 2000.  WHAT...are you kidding me!?
6. When I'm planning my 10 year reunion.  Which might I add...it's really hard to do this and keep your sanity.
7. When you ask a college student a question and they answer, "Ma'am?" Yes, please call me Ma'am I'm only 7 years older than you...do I look that much older?
8. When a student doesn't call me Ma'am and it gets on my nerves. Yes I know I'm totally redundant, but still...would a little respect kill you!?
9. When I'm shopping and I look at cute outfits, but then realize I would have nowhere to wear it and if I did buy it, would I be able to put a cardigan with it and wear it to work!?
and lastly....the thing that makes me feel really old, but makes my blood boil.................
10. When I am on facebook, instagram, or twitter and see curse words. Really…Does that make you cool? Really…Does that make your point better?  Really…Does it make you more of a man or woman? My mom always said, “Don’t write anything down that you don’t want everyone to know or judge you on.” You know what, that was really good advice.  The only problem is, a lot of people didn’t get the memo or the “talk”.

So here it is…the talk.  You can take this for what it’s worth, you can email this to your friends, or you can say, girl you crazy, but either way here I go…Saying cuss words is one thing.  I have had my bout with sailors mouth, I’ll be the first to admit it. I have been negative and said bad things.  But, I have tried to be better here lately.  I have made a commitment that I am going to be a better person.  With this, I will admit that even in my dark moments, I have never written the words out.  There is just something different about saying the word and then writing or typing the word.  It comes with more malice or more crudeness I’m not sure which is worse. But if you have to call someone ugly names online to make you “seem” funny, guess what…you’re not! Get over yourself and grow up! And if you take offense to this..yes I’m talking to you!

Ok so that’s it, just feeling a little old today, thought I’d share why!

Have a great Labor Day!!!!
