feeling old



Recommended Posts

My 16yr old son and his girlfriend just left in a limosine for the jr/sr prom. They looked so handsome and beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. I can't believe my little boy with the blond tossle of hair and beautiful blue eyes is off to a magical evening with his beautiful girlfriend. I feel so old......

My 18 year old was off to her senior prom tonight as well. She looked like a little princess- she is teeny tiny! But nothing makes me feel older than being a grandma at the ripe old age of 44! Mackenzie was born on May 12th this year by my oldest daughter- age 20. She is beautiful!

Awww! I'm sorry girls, they grow up so fast, don't they?

And you are NOT old! I'm just 4 years behind you two and my kids are 5 and 2, so you very well could be in MY shoes!

I know what you mean though...it's so sweet to see them all dressed up acting like little men and ladies. These are memories they will cheish for years. Hope you took pictures!!!

Hey, Nurse, congrats on your granddaughter! Great news!!!

I'm 45 with 19 & 21 year old sons both at college. Had to get a little dog when they both left. Makes me feel like the little old lonesome lady talking to my dog!

Kathy....Thanks for asking....Ben had a good time with his girfriend. They, in my very biased opinion were the most handsome and beautiful couple there!!! He is only a sophmore...Bailey(girlfriend) is a junior. They have been dating almost 2 years. They are a cute couple. I sincerley hope neither is devistated by an inevitable breakup. I wish he would have met this girl 5 or 6 years from now as she is a really nice person. I will have to invest in scanner soon. I would love to post the pix and will soon have to post before and after pix of me!

This year my Spudboy will be taking not one girl to the prom, but two girls. :D The second girl is his girlfriend's best friend, and she really wanted to go. Neither girl goes to his school, but that isn't going to stop them. Last year, he went to prom with two different friends, a boy and a girl.

Spudboy graduates high school in a couple of weeks, so he will be getting his AA degree the same year I get my BBA... :D

I don't really recall thinking that my parents were old when I was Spud's age. But then, I'd been getting stoned with my mother since I was 15 years old. I had friends whos parents were in their 60's when I was in high school, and I felt they were old.... :(

I always feel old, I am only 33 years old, but I feel so damn old. Three little kids will do it everytime. This week has been so busy, with year end graduations and all. My four year old graduated Tuesday morning from K3, so she is moving on to K4, my nine year old passed the fourth grade and had her year end program Tues night and she is headed to fifth grade. She got a trophy for A-B honor roll all year and got a ribbon for A in bible all year long. She is really smart, did really good all year. Hope she stays that way. She says she is going to be an attorney when she grows up. And everytime she complains of having to fold and put away laundry I tell her, well honey, if you do grow up and become an attorney, you can pay someone to come do your laundry for you, right??? Lord knows, I wish I could afford to pay someone to come do my laundry... But about the feeling old, I do feel really old, always tired, back is always aching, oh I'm so old.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
