Sorry Ma’am we don’t want your kind

So I’ve been a major slacker lately on my blogging… so to all of my fans my mom I apologize…  It’s been pretty busy getting everyone back to school and settled… good thing I don’t have a job I’d go nuts!

Speaking of job hunting I clicked on a post on good ole Craigs List today for an egg donor… because hey I could use $5,000-$10,000 dollars and LOW AND BEHOLD I’m actually too old to be considered! Talk about a blow to the ego!! Now that I’m 30 I’m past my baby making prime years … the age ranges were 20-28, I guess those are the prime eggs! Never mind that the lady in Nordstroms said I looked 24 on Friday it’s all about the young internally so I guess I will have to find another way to keep my external package looking young… they also said you have to be enrolled in college or have a degree and they have weight and height requirements so I’m going to go out on a limb and say I wouldn’t qualify for any of it… in other words MAJOR FAIL, their loss though my kids are wicked cute J

I will say I used to think that I’d go crazy being at home all the time (I know I know short trip) but I have to admit I could get used to this! I like having time to clean and organize my house … the down side I’m pretty sure my husband feels like he doesn’t have to lift a finger anymore except for the yard and the trash (man’s work in this house) but the extra chores are worth it for the time being, I actually get a morning to myself to hit some sales racks tomorrow…  wonders never cease!

why yes you can see my ID

So earlier this weekend I was baking cupcakes for my son’s party and listening to the Buc’s game with my husband (because I’m an awesome wife… and I have my own fantasy football team) when the guest commentator, who happened to be Urban Meyer said something that I just couldn’t stop thinking about. He was talking about the rookie players, since that’s what pre-season games are all about, and he said that he had a different mindset at 25 then at 40, and even a different one from 40 to 51 (which was his current age). Now I get that he was talking about injuries and perception of being invincible when you are young… but to me that seems like a no brainer. Of course you have a different mindset from your 20’s… you aren’t even the same person!

I often tell my husband despite of all flaws that he might like to pinpoint in me, he still married me and he knew what I was like… but I wonder if that’s really a fair statement. He married the almost 23 year old girl that still had Converse left over from high school (still do actually) and used to love nothing more than to hang with friends and shop, watch movies and lay out by the pool… today he is married to a 30 year old woman who is obsessed with eye cream and now only gets to hang with friends when they bring their kids and then mine are distracted enough to let me have a few minutes of adult time. That 23 year old is still there (she’s just buried under stretch marks) but my priorities have changed and so have I… so you would think he would cut me some freaking slack on the eye cream! Even as flattering as it is to be carded out in public sometimes (or at Target even though they make everyone) sometimes in the back of my mind makes me wonder if I acted a certain way to make someone think I was that young… but most of the time I just tell myself the eye cream is doing it’s job and move on. I have no desire to act, dress or pretend to be an age I’m not. I’ve learned my lessons this far and I wouldn’t change any of them good or bad, they make up who I am today. I hope by the time I’m 51 I’ll look back on my 30’s and still be happy with the lessons I’ve learned and the person I have become… and I REALLY hope my husband comes to terms with my awesomeness because I’m pretty sure that like a fine wine I’m only going to get better with age… and he is in for it J
