Turning 30

I must admit I wasn't excited to turn 30, but now that it's all said and done I don't feel any older. I guess I never really was a person that had an exact plan of where I would be in 5 years or when I turned 30 but I think I did OK. Part of the reason I probably didn't have a plan was Robb and I did things pretty young! We got married at 21 bought a house at 22 had twins when we were 24 and our third at 26. So I feel pretty accomplished :)I am very thankful to have a wonderful husband and 3 great kids!
 I haven't pursued my career much in the last 3 years but I wouldn't trade the opportunity to stay home with the kids for anything. My time as a stay at home mom is coming to an end and it makes me kinda sad. Not just for the fact that I will have to start getting up early and wearing something other than the mom uniform, as Robb calls it (yoga pants and a hoodie) but I am worried that I am going to miss out on things. Well enough about that for now. I'm sure that will be one very long post in the not so distant future.
I will share my list of things that do make me feel old when I think about them
1. Our family is never spontaneous. I have become such a planner to make my (our) life go smoother that there is really no deviating from the schedule. Ask Robb! He very quickly learned that if he wanted to do anything it must be on the master schedule or you are out of luck. I have stuff on the schedule already for December! Who does that? The answer is someone that is OLD.

2.The second thing was really something that Robb said made him feel old and I agreed. It started with Robb wearing my pink dish washing gloves one night while he scrubbed and baited our new live trap. Yes, we bought a live trap and we were very excited for it to come in the mail. You might be wondering why? Rabbits! We have rabbits that are eating the flowers off of all our new plants and it is making us crazy. We lay in bed at night plotting on how to get rid of there rabbits that are reeking havoc on our yard. Who worries about stuff like this? Old people.

3.I refer to the people that live across the street from us as the annoying college kids. I get mad when they drive too fast down the street, have too many cars parked on the street, have their music too loud or have too many people over. I'm pretty sure I haven't made friends there by calling them into the cops and convincing Robb to go over in the middle of the night to tell them to turn it down. Crabby Old Lady

4. I now find it much more enjoyable to shop for children's clothing than clothes for me. Even if I go out to the store to buy something specifically for me I usually end up with children's clothing. OLD!

5. I have discovered over the last couple years, and this may be more of a mom thing than an old thing but I am a very suspicious person. Every odd person at the park is a danger in my mind. Living in Lincoln there are plenty of odd people at the park so I am constantly counting to 3 to make sure everyone is accounted for. Even the ice cream man that drives around has been on my radar as probably being a creep. Hmmm Old

I'm sure the list goes on and on but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I probably am old but I like where I'm at and who I'm with, so 30 here I come. At least I'm not ever in bed by 9pm yet.
