You Know You are OLD

I have been thinking a lot about things that make me feel old and adult-like. I started noticing some of these when I graduated high school and went to college. Now I just feel ancient. Here are some of the things that used to make me feel old:

• having a job
• buying my own groceries
• having a debit card
• paying rent
• paying bills
• being in college 
• buying a car/getting a loan
• having my own insurance
• paid vacations/sick days

These things seem like no big deal to me now. Here are things that make me feel super old now:

• Knowing I graduated from high school SEVEN years ago
• Knowing I graduated from college FOUR years ago
• Being married for almost a year
• Buying a house and paying a mortgage 
• Seeing kids I used to babysit being teenagers/going to college
• My body hurts all the time-my knees creak every time I use the stairs -I know some of you might laugh,but a lifetime of sports has aged me :)
• My hobby is working in the garden
• Being ready for bed by 9pm, trying to be brave and make it to 10 since it is the weekend
• Everyone constantly asking me when I am going to have a baby...umm hello, since when did I stop being 16?! 
• Going to YM/YW activities, not as a youth but as a leader (well Jon is a leader but I have to help sometimes. 

 I'm sure I have more to come...these are just on my mind right now. Please somebody make me five years old again.
