That I wish we knew what we know now when we were younger. She said, "It doesn't work that way". No, it doesn't. But I sure could've saved myself some bullshit if I'd known.
Got to see some family today.....celebrated January birthdays at mom's. Happy birthday mom, Aunt Dianna, Jocelyn, Uncle Roger, & Grandpa Stewart. Enjoyed it with my family, Andie's family, mom, Uncle Jerry & Aunt Dianna, & Uncle Billy and Aunt Melanie. And Chewie and Benji. Lunch, laughs, and family time.
Daddy & I took some of the kids to the mall later in the day. So, this morning, as I was getting ready, and knowing I was going to spend the day with family and go to the mall (ugh), I put on makeup. I was applying my eyeliner & realized.......I think my eyes are more sunk in than they used to be. Is that a thing? Enough that I'm way overdue for a color........dammit.
At the mall, I saw a group of seven or eight girls descend on the mall (Stephen was shitting in the bathroom at California Pizza & the kids were shopping sans parents) and I realized I'm old. These girls were so cute, and looked like they owned the mall. I felt like I should leave. I was muddying the mall for them. I should pack it in and leave. Clearly, this old person was out too late.
Instead, I waited for my middle aged husband's stomach to settle, and we set out to find the teenagers. Three stores & however many dollars later....we were in the minivan headed home. Listening to "Tig Ol Bitties" & Bo Burnham.
Sigh.
