I am kind of wigged because I feel so old. I do not feel old chronologically, on the contrary I still feel quite young. But that is what bugs me. I mean I feel like I am too old to enjoy some of the things I do like my little sci fi and pop culture perks-I am way to old to get things like Scooby Doo checks even though this is what my heart desires. Not to worry people, blue safety all the way. Another example: about a year and a half ago, I said to my oldest teenage brother something was &#8220;off the hook&#8221; and he stopped and said I was too old to say that. Yikes! I took it with a grain of salt because he is a nerd anyway.<\/p>\n<p>This is all so weird because my husband and I got married nearly a decade ago and have been parents since. I have spent my entire 20&#8217;s wondering when I am going to officially feel &#8220;grown up&#8221; even though I was married with adult repsonsibilities.<\/p>\n<p> To be honest, something magical did happen when I hit the big three-O. In my twenties, people always felt the need to offer some type of criticism for the choices I made (they still do and always will-human nature). I took these observations very personally and second guessed everything I did. Now I am quite content to say, &#8220;nope, I don&#8217;t agree&#8221;-well, maybe not to their faces, but in my head. I guess being able to say that to their faces will happen when I turn 40?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peony, OK, I am happy then (see Pansy smiling).
