A child came up to me (guessing around 6yrs old):<br /><br />Child: You're my Mum<br />Me: No I'm not<br />Child: Yes you are (repeat x 2)<br /><br />Me: Well, if I'm your Mum I'm going to leave you on that shelf of sweets, you'll be stuck there forever, have to eat all the sweets, then all your teeth will fall out and everyone will laugh at you and call you Gummy.

The dating scene - no thank you. I have been married for twenty-five years, together with him for twenty-nine, I know what hubby wants and doesn't want, it's easy. Do I feel old, definitely. Our oldest will be twenty-four this year and that is scary. At the same time, all our kids are now away at college/university, so I get to have fun, like I was a teenager, and I don't have a curfew. I can sleep in, stay in my pj's all day (and I have) and eat Kit Kat for breakfast, lunch, and supper if I want.AlwaysARedheadhttp://catherineburden.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665674616465398480.post-77577524658286016232013-02-11T02:05:43.326-08:002013-02-11T02:05:43.326-08:00I'm 45. 2 teens, girls who fight the bit out. ...I'm 45. 2 teens, girls who fight the bit out. 1 husband who tries. 2 dogs. <br />In my head I'm def no older than 23 but my body begs to differ feels like 103<br />I'd my first child at 28 and was panicking cos I didn't feel old enough whereas in hospital they labeled me with a term meaning I was an old first time mum. <br />Ill be 46 in may.

How do you keep from laughing your head off when a 20 year old say that? I nodded very seriously then said that I often feel far younger than 43 and usggested that maybe we were the same age in reality. She wasn't convinced.<br /><br />You have made so many perfectly said points here! It's just how I feel, all the way. Except I don't often feel lamby. Maybe more piggy. ;)<br /><br />Off to have a Kit Kat for breakfast (excellent idea!).Michelloui | The American Residenthttp://www.theamericanresident.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665674616465398480.post-19591770267970673732013-02-11T01:54:02.434-08:002013-02-11T01:54:02.434-08:00I'd love to join you both but I need to fanny ...I'd love to join you both but I need to fanny about on twitter and complain about my joints ;)Actually Mummy...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06425476163374667083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665674616465398480.post-24575395290829726882013-02-11T01:31:53.975-08:002013-02-11T01:31:53.975-08:00Why don't you ditch the ironing and come out s...Why don't you ditch the ironing and come out sledging with me while the slopes are free of school kids.Adventures of a Middle-aged Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11225267175732836348noreply@blogger.com
