Getting Old Sucks

[lillian13]

I get the unmitigated joy of picking up my new bifocals this afternoon.

Turning 40? Did not make me feel old. Being in my 40's has not made me feel old. This? Makes me feel old.

*sigh*

But, I have gotten two "There is NO WAY you're in your forties"-type compliments/comments in the past week. Which is nice, but may be due to the fact that have neither Mom-hair nor Mom-clothes.

I have last night's Supernatural and tonight's Atlantis to look forward to.

...but I'll be wearing bifocals. Feh.

I nearly always have people thinking I'm in my 30's, which I have come to expect. Last night I was babysitting and I had to take the baby to the theatre with me because the parents were late picking him up. When the show was over we were just hanging out with the audience and I was saying that no, I wasn't his mother, and this little old lady asked me if I was his GRANDMOTHER!!!! And then I fell over DEAD.

Well, they always think I'm my niece's mother (she's 20). Haven't gotten the grandma comment yet, yay!

But she can't be TWENTY because that would mean I'm *counts of fingers* crap!

And The Boy is about to be ELEVEN!!!

Ha! I have Mom-hair and Mom-clothes but I don't need bifocals yet! Nyah!

OTOH, face it, We're getting up there!

Nyah to you too!

Reprieve--my last meeting lasted long enough that I'll have to go in tomorrow to get them. Small mercies, I guess.
