How Old Do You Really Feel Inside??

Why are you sleeping on the table, Saddie?? Back trouble.... oh, goodness. Gentle

I've got to have my worn out almost 20 year old mattress and my body pillow. It's worn, but still firm, soft matresses, ugh!!

I'll take not napping right now though. Those zombie hours are awful.

The bed and matress are only 5 years old, and both need replacing (the bed frame has completely stripped the screws), we're both hard on beds.

Amen sis!!

I've been letting myself down on positive thinking lately.

(That isn't to say that I let positive thoughts rule my life, some things can be downright unhealthy with those, but I understand what you're saying. I err on the side of caution with the positive thinking because of my sister who thinks that buying a lotto ticket will guarantee her a fortune becuase she's given O much to her paticular choice of ahem, pastors, and that she will be healed etc along with her entire family because of all of the money she's given, etc..My sister now thinks that I'm not family because I don't see God as a vending machine. )

Ahem.... that aside, I think young, and I intend on being Weezer when I get to that age! I'm going to wear overalls, wear funny hats, be cantankerous and be loved for who I am, not who I look like!

I love how when my Grandmother disagreed with my mother it was "she's just that age"... I want to know exactly WHEN "that age" happens, so I can stop trying to "play nice"....

I recently took a virtual age quiz.

My age will be 51 on Monday and my virtual age was 32.
My mind thinks I am 16 and I can do anything....my body screams...NO!!! Don't do that!!!
They take turns getting their way, so some days I am so sore I can barely move...I believe that is the 16 year old's doing!

ETA: I was talking to my Mom about this very thing not long ago. She turned 85 in Feb of this year, and she said she still feels like she is 18 most of the time.

I have SOOO much I could say to that!!

I understand though, both dh and I are tossing and turning all night long. Our bed frame gave out long ago and it's actually better sleeping on the floor with the boxspring and matress. I can't count how many times I've whacked dh in the face or kicked the baseboard just trying to get comfortable!!

I'm a very restless sleeper.

well... let's say we do some things like we're 16 ok?

My second husband died in a car accident, our rule is "never waste a day" After 10 years we're still honeymooning.

I want to be the crabby old lady walking around holding a chicken and yelling "Get off my lawn, you vermin good'fer'nuthin kids!" Wait, that's what I do now. In 30 years (or less), I'll be the sweetest, most smiling creature ever, because I'll be so liquored up I won't even know my own name.

Seriously, though, I keep telling myself to act more like a 'mature' Mom with my oldest son, because I think I'm hilarious and he unfortunately sometimes thinks so, too. That's the surest way to get in trouble with DH.

I remember one year, not too long ago, I went to chase my son, a full-out run. Only my run seemed all under water, slow. He of course dusted me out. I found out I had lost the ability to just run. Then I felt really old. I've occasionally tried chasing him again, and I've gotten a little better at it. I can at least pretend I'm not so winded!

Have you tried yoga? It worked wonders for me when I did it.

 

[saddina]

I did the yoga, still do, the thing is I'm very small, only 5ft, but blessed with some uhh... smuggled cantaloupes. Carrying them around puts strain on the lower back. Doc wants to reduce but the insurance wants me on heavy pain meds for 2 years first (to prove it's medically needed).
