Just as I thought leaving the house was the biggest burden I could imagine, it seems the world flipped flopped. To get G ready to leave it was a battle to get the coat, the shoes, the hat on, along with toting everything else you might need. Then there was the fight to get him into the car seat. Once you got going he would settle. Now in the last few days, he has been more than willing to go. Has been really good sitting through the BMV (we are trying to get licenses and plates). So maybe we have turned that corner of throwing a fit about going.
On a side note, don't you love this weather. Snow covered for months. Melts just in time to get 8 inches again. Then another 6 inches. Then melts thoroughly to saturate the ground and we get an inch and a half of rain with tornado watches in February. Spring might be right around the corner. If this winter has been any indication of what is to come, it is going to be a stormy spring.

Isn't It Amazing How We Age
Sorry for the extended absence. Trying to get life back to a somewhat norm. I think we now have 95% of the boxes unpacked. Two truck loads of broke down boxes taken to the recycling center.
So as the title says, I am slowly starting to realize that I am not as young as I used to be. In the past few months, I have found out I have osteoarthritis. A nice thing to know at the ripe old age of 31. A pill the size of a tic tac makes me feel 10 years younger. I can walk up steps now with out moaning and groaning. Just finished a sleep study to see if I have sleep apnea.
Here I was making fun of my parents just 3 months ago (and for many years past), over pains and medical issues. And here I am. Same situation. Me, a person whom rarely sees a doctor, now I am OLD. I blame it all on A & G. A mainly, since she is the oldest. Just joking.
I guess the main thing I am getting at, is when did you realize you were old, i.e., a grown up. Was it the first the first time you realized you were saying the same exact thing to your children that your parents said to you. Was it the first time your child seemed embarrassed by you. Was it the first time you tried getting off the floor and you caught yourself groaning. I am guilty of all these. Each one makes me feel older and older. So I guess soon my words will be wisdom.
