Getting old sucks.....

I remember when I used to be able to eat Taco Bell aka Toxic Hell at midnight. Not only did it not seem to hang around my tummy and ass for long, it did not upset my stomach. Now that I am getting older (SUCK), not only does the Toxic Hell hang around FOREVER in my stomach, ass and even my thighs now, it gives me a horrific stomach upset. And not only is it Toxic Hell, which could be understandable, but it now seems it is any fast food. Yes folks, when you start to get old, you simply can not eat the fast food any longer. Somebody really should have told me this. It was one thing to not be able to handle Toxic Hell at midnight anymore. It is a whole other ball of wax when even Sonic can not be had for lunch. In the middle of the day. Did I mention that it sucks to get old(er)?

In the words of Ben Folds (love him, even named our daughter Emmaline after one of his songs):

Everybody knows
It sucks to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
You'll try and try and one day you'll fly
Away from me

You start to notice the aging around 25, as I've noticed this past year. Is it really a slow, steady decline? What do I have coming to me? Spin your tales of woe, please.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show. I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless. I read anyway. Spoilers? Not bothered. Let me give some back story here. At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine. Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar. I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly. I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper. I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing. Who knew? This fu...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
