It's finally happening, I'm getting older...

I think when one is in their early 30s it sometimes is hard to tell if they are in their 30s or maybe still in their 20s. Its a whole different story after you pass 35. I have ailments. I feel like my body is starting to fall apart. My sister and niece passed through town on their way to Utah and we had breakfast this morning. I listed to them the changes in my body I've noticed the last year. Wanna hear? Well, if you don't stop reading now.

  • zits. I've had more zits this past year and an oily face than I ever had as a teenager
  • spots on my face. my freckles are starting to meld together. it ain't funny.
  • bladder control. i pee a little when i sneeze or cough now. i have to be sitting down in order to prevent it.
  • low blood pressure. my blood pressure has decreased over the last year yet my doctor still doesn't think that when i stand up and am dizzy is anything to worry about. really?
  • cramps. i now have period cramps for an entire week before my period and am much more irritable and my periods are getting horrible. I won't get into any more detail about that one although I could. Its not pretty.
  • wrinkles. I have them. they are here to stay.
  • gray hair. okay, okay, i've had that since i was 19. yes, seriously. proud of it. ;)
why must our bodies rebel against us? I'm good to my body for the most part. I do have a Diet Coke addiction but I'm good to it. Please stop with the craziness. Give me 10 more years of early 30s type health. Please?

I hear ya sista! I keep telling myself and everyone else (My kids are brainwashed) that I am only 29. It is kinda hard to keep this story going when my I can't brainwash my body.

Next time I hear you sneeze I'm going to laugh just a little. Is that ok? :)
