Yup, it's my last day in my 20s... and Trev will tell you that it's the last day that I'm younger than him. He claims that he never got a 30th birthday and hasn't had a birthday since (though I very distinctly remember wishing him a happy birthday between contractions 3 years ago).
I'm not sure exactly how I feel about the whole thing. I guess you're the age you feel - some days, I feel like I'm still 25 and other days I feel like I'm 60! Yesterday was the latter. But I don't think it's because my birthday's around the corner and I'm feeling crummy about it, I think it's because I'm fighting the start of a cold and it seems to be more determined then me. I'm also not liking the "fine lines", but whatever. I can deal with that.
I guess my real downer with getting older isn't that I'm getting older. I've been thinking about that a lot over the last few days. It's not me that's getting older that makes turning 30 hard on me. It's knowing that as I get older, those around me get older too. Don't you wish you could freeze your parents' age and health and keep them exactly as they are forever? I know I do. I want them to be able to be every part of my kids' lives that they can be and more. I want them to see their great-grandkids and see them grow up too. They may very well, but the uncertainty and them getting older too is really bugging me...

I think we all wish we could freeze time....completely normal. I agree - I can't believe that my dad will be 80 this year - YES, 80.
Hope you had a good one. Sorry to hear about the "ultra-conservative" firm.....but maybe it's that whole "everything happens for a reason"....
You and I simply need to think of a great business idea and then we can run it from our homes! (You husband's brainchild book idea probably won't cut it...)
Happy be-lated birthday Jules!
I hope you had a great day, and enjoyed your time, when the kids with the grandparents!!! :)
Sadly I know EXACTLY what you mean.
