What's making you feel old?

[somethingcleverer]

I've been feeling my age lately   and I'm sure lots of us have little things that make us feel old... so what's making you feel old today?

[somethingcleverer]

For me it's the crinkles around my eyes and all the grey hairs on my head. I have a million more grey hairs since having kids.

[aimeefarrahfowler]

My new coworker. She graduated college last year. She's always talking about Ed Sheeran and I'm like I don't even know who that is.

For me it is also the wrinkles around the eyes. Also.The loose skin on my eye lids.

Grad school. I'm not the oldest person, but having young children and no life while my single or newly-married classmates jot around the world every weekend makes me feel ooooooold.

Guns N Roses on the classic rock station.

ETA: also, my ass has turned into a helicopter landing pad. My metabolism has slowed down and I'm more sedentary.

I am with you!  I look at photos of myself from 3 yrs ago and I look like a baby!

A while ago they had photos of Obama on the news saying how being Prez ages you quickly...and I was like yeah, I got him beat on that.

Yes! I'm listening to all the old people stations. Also I prefer the kidzbop pop songs because the lyrics are too vulgar in regular music!

I need a cane to start whacking people who mouth off.

In the post thread where I discovered golden birthdays. Mine would be 16....I can't remember what I did because it was 21 years ago. A whole legal drinker ago...remember how long it felt to become a legal drinker? Long.

I felt this way when junkytrunk posted about the earthquake that broke the bridge in 1994. I was about to be a senior in highschool! I kept think a lot of the girls on here were probably much younger than that lol.

[bantyrooster]

When I remember I have two kids. When timehop brings up pictures from college. When I know none of sil HS friends because I have been out for 10 years.

[cookiesandwine]

A girl came in to my work today to pick up some envelopes. She looked like the next generation of "ladies who lunch." LV handbag, Chanel hair clip, way too much makeup for her youthful face. I felt so old. And poor.

[junkytrunk]

When I hear professional sports players were born in the 90s.

[bliz1712]

How I randomly pull something at off times? Like last night my ass hurt because I must have bent over wrong when picking my dart up off the floor. I bet I looked cute rubbing ny ass all night. I even did a few stretches in the bathroom to try and help.

Class of 1995!

[mrsrek10]

Also, I am teaching an undergraduate course this semester...babies.

[snickers4everyone]

My hip jumps out of socket like I'm 80. Hurts like a bitch and then I hobble around like an invalid.
I used to want to hump like bunnies. Twice a day, everyday would have been awesome. Now I'm like...meh. Ain't nobody got time for that. And it invariably aggravates my hip so I'm laying there like a grounded fish while DH is sex-blinded and oblivious. (Too much? Heyyyyy Gina!)

[huskiefanuw]

My back....just like a old lady my back has been sore for 2 days for no good reason.

[mrsdonati]

I used to go out late, like be leaving my house at 10:30. I used to come home from work, change my clothes, and then hit the town. Now I get home from work, take my bra off, and I'm in for the night. Bedtime is usually right after DD's!

[sunflowersummer]

The inability to stay up past 10:00, most nights I'm in bed by 9:30.

[justbeth]

Everything hurts. Like literally all the body parts. I'm in bed, with a heating pad and a cup of hot tea (decaf, of course) reading before I pass out.

Also, when I think about having another baby (which I really want to have!) but don't know if I can do it again. So tired. All the time. And that's just I with one kid.

[cbear]

A girl I used to babysit when she was 2 just babysat my best friends kids - she's a senior! I used to wipe your butt and now you are old enough to wipe my kids haha! It's crazy to me!

[junkytrunk]

Oh I have another one. I can't have sugar or caffeine after 5pm or else my legs will be jittery when I'm trying to fall asleep and it keeps me up. Seriously?!

[babywinks]

The back of my hands look old to me.

[jennmm]

Morning stiffness and I see a few gray hairs.

This! When I see my old karate students that I taught when they were 4-5 years old and now they are in college. What ?!?!

[tribute17]

The fact that my seniors are too young to remember 9-11. I was in college and have a clear memory. They always want me to tell them. Like when our parents told us about Kennedy being shot or something. I also started dating dh the year they were born. Ugh.
