This time it was mine!  Yesterday I turned exactly 33 years OLD.  It all passed far too quickly.  I’m not sure how I got to be 33, but here I am.  I remember when I thought being 30 was old, and although I don’t feel as spry as when I was in my 20’s…I don’t feel that OLD.  I’m still young, I hope I still look young-ISH.  I do miss those days when I got asked for my ID when buying alcohol.  Nowadays, I think they are just trying to be nice when they ask for my ID.

“She looks like she had a hard day…I think I’ll ask her for her ID so she feels better!”

Makes me want to hug the teller!  Those times are few and far between now…some days I’m sure I look old.  Kids will do that to you. 

There was a time when I wouldn’t dream of going outside without my make-up and my hair done all pretty.  Mornings around our house don’t allow much primping time for my work ‘do and make-up, and on the weekends forget about it!  I like to scare small children…its just my way.

I tried to find a few photos of me and my children and I came upon just a few from the past few months.  It doesn’t happen very often that I am in front of the camera.  I think I need to take a few more “arms-reach” photos so they will know that I really was around during their childhood. 😉
