Why is 37 such a big deal??

So recently I've been having HUGE anxiety about turning 37 in May (or as previously mentioned 29 for the 8th time)  I think it has to do with some big decisions my hubby and I have been tossing around.  I didn't care at 30, 35 wasn't an issue - 37 is really getting to me. 

The other day while arguing via text message to my youngest crumb snatcher - I said "Bryana, I am 35 years old.  I have been around a lot longer than you.  Why do you continue to argue with me when you are asking for my opinion?"  To which she promptly replied,  "Mom, you're 36."  Since the rule in my house is and has always been, if it's funny, you're not in trouble - all I could do was laugh.  Then for the rest of my day I went around thinking, OMG I am going to be 37 in a few months.  Geez, how did that happen? 

I've always heard the older you get the faster time flies.  Maybe it's the choices we are pondering?  Or the fact that Cianah will graduate next year?  Or the fact that this summer yet another of the monsters will be behind the wheel of a car?  (permit)  I don't know, but what I do know is, I'd like this all to SLOW DOWN already.  Seriously.  I need another 5+ years before 40 please. 

I saw this diddy posted by MWDAS (she's so funny) and I laughed so hard.  Then I sent it around to a few co-workers.  The one who has "stopped making red" replied "Oh, this is such bulls*&#"  - I think maybe the angry you are projecting may just be related to your lack "red."  Just saying. 

Look at the girls face, she looks REALLY uncomfortable having this conversation with her grandma.  I can't wait to make my grand kids uncomfortable!! But for now, I'd just like to continue to torture my kiddos a bit more. 

So if anyone has connections with the "big man" - please tell him to slow this life down a bit.  I'm having a real hard time with it lately. 

Ta-ta for now!  Smooches!
