30's kinda suck
So I came to the conclusion today that the 30's kinda suck. I'm getting wrinkles, my hair is turning gray, "me time" is practically nonexistent. I have to workout like a mad woman to get this pregnancy weight off once and for all.(okay, maybe it's not pregnancy weight anymore. I did have my last child more than 4 years ago!!! but it makes me feel better to think that I got fat for a reason and I can't think of any better reason to get fat than to bring another life into this world) I spend most of my days doing things for other people. I am not sure what I expected my 30's to be like. That was waaaay to far in the future to think about. It kinda snuck up on me. I did however think that I would be fabulously wealthy and I would absolutely love being a stay at home mom. Now dont get me wrong I do love being at home with my children but their have been many days that I have happily turned the kids over to Jai so that I could run off to work and not have to deal with the tears and the whining. Oh wait a minute, I still have to deal with that from patients in the ER. Anyway, I am glad that I am more sure of myself in my 30's. I know what I want and I am not afraid to tell people no anymore. I'm not afraid to speak my mind and am not worried about what other people think of me. I just hope I can come to terms with the wrinkles and the gray hair and realize I have earned them and not hate them. Yeah right!!

Ya I hear ya! I know that it only gets worse from here. My sister in laws tell me their 30's were the best time of their lives. Hum?
Amen!
I've heard the 40s are better. You're still young(ish), and the kids are old enough you get some freedom and "me" time, and you are secure enough in who you are to leave behind all the pesky insecurities. Since you'll be there first, you'll have to let me know if it really is that way. Ha!
Well, you color your hair so cute the gray is a non-issue because I think you are so cool. The kids on the other hand, I have no advice to give. I'm in the same boat with you there! Hang tight...you still have some 30's to enjoy once all 3 girls are in school all day long-isn't that next year? (or the next?) And try not to let the ER get to you...you are helping some people with some of the hard things they may have to go through. LUV YA!
