When did I become OLD???

I've been in my 30s for a little while and I haven't been a fan. In my heart I am 19 but my body and mind just doesn't feel the same way. Here are some signs that I have entered the 'aged' realm:
*Call my kids different names. My grandma called me Harold often so I figured only old people did that!
*The words, "When I was your age..." escape my lips often.
*Ibuprofen is in my daily vitamin regimen
*I know when a storm is coming, I feel it in my joints.
*When did 9pm start feeling like 11pm??
*Dinner is getting earlier and earlier.
*Kids don't believe a word I say because I'm way to old to understand.
*I call teenagers 'kids'.
*I am buying more food that says "Great Source of Fiber!"
*I don't like going any further than an 8 mile radius from my home.
*I worry about driving alone at night.
*The "hottie" actors are now so young, it's creepy and wrong for me to notice.
* I can fall asleep at the drop of a a;lksdifopjA; 'Q46W]ODF0B EP4T' qbw
SORRY MY HEAD HIT THE KEYBOARD.
*I can no longer step foot in the Juniors department without getting arrested or at least getting the stink-eye from someone!
*I just ate a fry and it went immediately to my rear end!
*The fact I just typed 'rear end'.
*People laugh when I talk the newest lingo as if I can't pull it off! WHATEVER!!! FO SHIZ!!!

I know the 30s isn't really old but it has been an adjustment! Sometimes I wonder if I took my 20s for granted. That was when you could still get away with stuff. When you turn 30 you are suddenly supposed to 'know better'! Well, I am going to go toilet paper someone tonight just to prove that I am young at heart! I just need to be home by 9:30. I have early church in the morning.

i told steve not long ago he was old now because he started liking bread and butter pickles. blech! add that one to the old list!! and i agree with the teenagers comments--now when i look at them, i think "oh my! evan will be that age soon!" and try to imagine him as a teenager. yikes.

You are so funny. I'm not in my 30's until October (Yes, and I'm holding on as long as I can to these darn 20's) but I totally relate to your entire post. I also seem to need ibuprofen all the time, I watch news shows like 'Nightline, 20/20, and 60 minutes', I was throughly offended by the summer hit, "I kissed a girl" by Katy Perry, (Savannah heard it and she's like, what, a girl kissed a girl? I wanted to write a strongly-worded letter to someone responsible), I wear socks to bed, I have a major case of saggy belly, and I also feel creepy looking at any of the new heartthrobs. Oh well, at least we could sit on the porch and yell at those darn teenagers driving down the street, or talk about our latest ailments. At least I'm not alone. :)
