39.

Looking back, my twenties were fun but really busy. I got married really young, as well as Nosotros started a menage unit of measurement a yr later our marriage. My twenties were filled amongst babies as well as diapers, as well as babies, as well as to a greater extent than diapers. 

My thirties convey been filled amongst simply patently fun. Vacationing, laughter, happiness, a consummate feel of self-confidence that I didn't convey inwards my twenties, watching my children grow into who they volition become!

But, I intend it's official now. I'm old. You laugh?

Here's how I tin tell I'm old:

1- I similar to sentry birds out my window. I pass lots of coin on airplane food, simply thus I tin encounter them spell I sit down at my computer. Yeah, tin someone tells "senior citizen."

2- I pay attending to commercials that verbalize nearly oculus brighteners, wrinkle reducers as well as other peel firming creams. I've fifty-fifty bought said brighteners as well as reducers (to no avail, the wrinkles are all the same there)

3- I detect myself talking to people who convey niggling kids as well as proverb things similar "treasure each moment, it goes thus fast." I hated it when people said that to me, I'll survive honestly. When my kids were throwing a tantrum inwards the grocery store, whining, kicking, screaming as well as someone said that to me...all I could intend is the fourth dimension drags inwards the grocery line. But wow, it's thus flipping true...my kids are big. And the bigger they get, the older it makes me.

4- I similar watergate cake. As an immature person, you lot encounter a light-green cake covered inwards nuts as well as kokosnoot as well as you lot think, "what the heck did grandma brand us. Why can't she brand us a chocolate cake?" Now, every bit a one-time person, every bit an almost senior citizen, I LOVE light-green cake amongst kokosnoot as well as nuts. Yep. Old.

If you're reading this blog, as well as you're younger than me, exhibit this cake to your mom. Or grandma. Or dad. They mightiness relish it! Don't worry, adjacent week, later my birthday has come upwards as well as gone, I'll teach dorsum to immature people food....chocolate!
