I don't care what the mirror is telling me..... I am still 16....Aren't I?
It happens to the best of us, doesn't it? That wonderful day, when we realise that teenagers look at us as....Old and ummmm so not cool.....
"WHAT!?"
"I am not old!"
"When did it happen?"
"I'm a...MOM?"
"No"
"Really?"
I can't be the only mom that sits, some days, and wonders how life happened so fast. I may be a mom, I may not be cool "anymore", but when did I become....Old?
All of a sudden, you go to a high school to watch your niece dance, and while there it dawns on you... These kids are just babies.
Isn't it funny how mature and big you feel when your in high school? Then years later it finally hits you... "Wow, these kids are just babies...I mean look at em', they are so young!" But I wasn't a baby when I was a teenager....Was I???
"Oh No! I AM old!"
Just some of my random thoughts for the day... How did life happen so fast? Now my thoughts are focused on children of my own! Wow, I really am a *whispers* big person* aren't I?
Mom....Just Mom...I forgot my other name.
We don't sleep alone, eat alone, pee alone, shower alone, or do anything alone...
What are we?
You guessed it....Mommy!
Stand with me as we hold our heads high...There may be puke, or any number of bodily fluids that you were unaware even existed before Momhood, in our hair...
We may not have showered for an undisclosed amount of time...
We may have cookies and doodle pads in our purse, instead of lipstick or money...
But, we are the strongest beings on earth, So I dare anyone to mess with a mom on a mission to find the cookies, hidden in the bottom of the endless bag, in a quiet room, filled with quiet people, she doesn't know, while a 5 year old screams at a 3 year old, who screams at an 18 month old "STOP HITTING ME!!!!"...

Just wait! Heck you're still young. I'll be 60 this year but inside I still feel young...like I'm 21. That's my mental self talking, but my physical self says I'm all of seventy.
Guess who?
Awwwwww, I'm sorry you're feeling old. At least you aren't sagging all over the place yet. That's something positive, right? ;-)
I feel old, too. And I'm 20.
BTW- this is DunnRight, from CM. =)
