The time has come - tomorrow I'm entering a new decade of life, the 30's. I can hardly believe it. Sometimes I still feel like a teenager - like when I sleep in til 11, try to shop in the juniors section and don't understand "adult" conversations about politics or 401k's or the stock market. And I still have thoughts of "what am I gonna do with my life?" Other times I feel like I should be 20 years older than I am for how much life I've lived. After all, I've been having babies for 13 years now!
For some strange, annoying reason I've been waking up every morning with no alarm clock at 6:30 everyday. Of course, I don't actually get out of bed until my alarm tells me it's time to do so, but it's the strangest thing for the girl who literally had to be dragged out of bed by her mother for years and years! I also recently started watching Frasier, a show I remember seeing my parents watch years ago and absolutely did not ever grasp the concepts or humor in. But now I laugh! That made me realize that I must be getting old - to find that show funny and actually understand most of the words they say. Sounds dumb, I know.
I remember thinking 30 was so old! "Why do 30 year old women even bother wearing makeup and getting their hair done?" or "Why do old people in their 30's still have babies?" Yeah, how ridiculous?! But really, when I was a kid did the women in their 30's feel and act like I do now? Because they sure seemed much more mature. If I do sit and think back to 5 or 10 years ago, I can see how I definitely have matured and changed. And I'm glad I don't still think and reason as I did when I was 20. Even more so, I'm glad I'm not spiritually where I was 5-10 years ago.
I won't cry or get depressed about getting "old". My hope is that I'll be like a fine wine, and only get better with age :) *I've never had wine, but I hear that's what happens... haha*
