Good Morning?

Every morning when the alarm goes off I think what the heck did I get myself into? I only have 12 more years of getting kids off to school. By the time the last one graduates I'll be 65. Most people at that age have either moved to Arizona or Florida coming back to Michigan to visit grandkids. Me on the other hand will be packing lunches and attending parent teacher conferences. You'll know me at graduation, I'll be the one with the walker, orthopedic shoes and a life alert around my neck. People are always telling me I look good for my age, which in translation means, say something nice to the old lady. This aging stuff sucks. I ache in more places than I ever knew I had parts and things just aren't where they used to be. When you're young and slim with perky ta-ta's and an ass that is were it is suppose to be you think you will stay that way forever. Wake-up people nature is a nasty thing. I have heard a lot of women say they are going to age naturally and let nature take it's course and I say lier, lier pants on fire. Yeah I said the same thing.... until I hit the gravity mile. The gravity mile starts about age 40 and it takes a good 6 to 7 years to finish the race. This is the only race I have ever won.
When a woman ages everything sags, we get jowls, droopy eye lids, long thin boobs, sporadic coarse hair popping out, and  even if you don't have kids you get the mom ass. We get wrinkles, gray hair, dry skin and liver spots. Liver spots now who the hell thought of that name, must have been a man? So we peel, pluck, lift, stuff, squeeze, slather with creams, exercise and if need be medical intervention.
Guys on the other hand get a pot belly, gray hair and a 20 year old.
I was sitting with Jackson watching Sponge Bob when he looked at my face and said,"What's that brown mark on your face"? I told him it was an old lady spot. He doubled up his little fist and said, "What old wady poked you there"? I said mother nature. To which he replied,"I hate that old wady she's not bery nice". So I told him as some people get older they get these spots. Why he wanted to know? "Just because", I was trying not to be to technical. All of a sudden it was like a light bulb turned on and he said,"Is that why Sophia is brown"? I love it! So as for the aging process with me,  I am going to  peel, pluck, lift, stuff, squeeze, slather with creams, exercise and if need be medical intervention.
