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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
