What happened and why didn't I see it coming?

How long ago was it, that I was helping my DD learn her new cheers for basketball?

Did I really play softball at our family reunions?

Was that ME sitting on those rock hard bleachers cheering my children on in sports? It looked like me.

My calendar used to boast dinners out w/friends and movies. Who wrote all those Dr's appts in there????

Didn't I use to get up at the crack of dawn and finally make it back to bed at 1am?? I can't remember!!!

When was the last time that I cleaned my whole house in one day. Seems like it takes me a week now.

Do I really need to rest in the middle of the afternoon? Didn't my kids' used to take naps while I did household chores and prepared dinner??

Pills?? Why so many? They remind me of my grandparent's and their "medication" rituals.

Why can't I just accept all the changes? Is it ME? Heck, I'm only 53. These are my GOLDEN YEARS, right????

Where did I go???

Anyone else feel like someone pushed their " Fast Forward Button" too?

Mine is more like a slow-mo, rewind/replay button..

I don't know DM but someone pushed mine too. I may not have ms but I can relate so much. My calender is filled with Dr names and times and appointments. What happened to rejoycing for the weekend? What happened to HUMP day where we only had two more days until freedom? What happened to being able to clean the entire house in one day flat? What happened to being able to have a drink or two or three and not be afraid you'll be drunk? What happened to...?

DM at age 38...although I work full time..and five kids...yes calendar is WAY TOO FULL....but when I want to do things..like take a long walk with the babies in the stroller...wow home now and sooo warn out..more than I should be for my age suppose to go golfing tonight at 6ish with hubby....I am going no matter what...

cause I am tired of at my age, having to not have fun just to save my energy for work...uggggg I fight with this all the time....wish we could afford me at part time...but we cant at all...cant keep up with both of us full time...ugggg

sorry...wow vented ...

anyhow I hear ya, sometimes I feel like a whole different person..not dxed even...but sometimes I miss the old me..and my hubby who is so understanding and loving...I bet misses the old me as well...

sorry ...for venting on your thread..hugsss, sarah

wait a minute, wait a minute, I can predict the future and nappy is gonna come in this thread and make some smart ***** comment. let me do the honors.


Hey AMN - **GIANT SMACK**

DM, you're welcome.

lmao Earl...hehehehee glad you beat her at it..hehehee hugss all, sarah

I know what you mean, DM. Sometimes it feels like I'm on "fast forward".

I don't remember time going so quickly (or seeming to go so quickly) when I was a child. It seemed like to took forever for Christmas to get here. And birthdays.....seemed like a year was just an eternity. Now.....I blink and I'm another year older. Or it's Christmas again.

How does that happen??

Earl i will go further and say a smack will be involved too

Aw DM I know what you mean it sucks, and its scary too at same time, hang in there dont let it get the best of you cause, the best of you is something we all enjoy

Gee, DM, I know just how you feel.

Sorry to say that it helps knowing I'm not the only one to feel like this. I know what you mean, Kell~ the holidays are just around the corner AGAIN!

And as Sandy said~ I used to pray the weekend would get here; now it's like OH, where did the week go???

I used to pick apart the old me all the time. Did my hair look good? Was I gaining weight? Is THAT a gray hair?? It can't be!!!!

Now, it's "how many saturated fats are in this dish? Do I take this pill w/ or without food???

I'd push the pause button on the remote, but I forget where I put it.
