For me being 30 is…..
- taking 2+ days to recover from a hangover.
- boobs that are now closer to your waist than your neck.
- being unable to wallow in sickness as a toddler needs you to read to him RIGHT NOW!
- scrimping and saving and still barely making ends meet.
- feeling tired regardless of how much sleep you get.
- wondering why you still don’t feel like a grown up.
- thinking a night out which begins after 8pm is madness.
- preferring quiet pubs to noisy clubs.
- opting for a quiet night in rather than a crazy night out.
- no longer going for the budgetiest budget hotels.
- feeling like you might no longer be faking being good at your job.
- faking having a handle on parenting instead.
- needing to sleep in a proper bed.
- wondering if a house party when the baby will be sleeping upstairs was the best idea?
- being thrilled about the colouring books you were gifted.
- worrying about pensions and cholesterol.
- thinking you should probably have learned to hold your drink by now.
- realizing it has been 19 months since your last hair cut.
- searching for overlooked old lady chin hairs.
- being concerned about grey hairs on your head…and elsewhere.
- being thankful for my family and where my life is at right now, despite all the other stuff 🙂
