I realized this weekend that I'm getting older.
I know I'm still considered young to most others with kids, but this weekend I realized I have gotten old. I mean really old. For several reasons.
1. We hired a babysitter to go to a concert Saturday night. (Hiring a babysitter always makes me feel old in general) and when we got to the concert at 7:30 and found out it didn't start till 9:30 I was floored. "9:30? Why does it start so late" Drew, the concert goer, had to inform me that 9:30 is a perfectly acceptable time for a concert to start. I yawned.
2. Since we were there so early (we thought the concert started at 8) we had our choice between being up front standing or sitting down in the back and I didn't hesitate before voicing my opinion "Lets go sit in the back, I definitely don't want to be standing for three hours getting bumped into and beer spilled on me." Luckily everyone agreed. We are all old.
3. The second the music started I turned to my friend, "Wow that's loud, I wish they would turn it down." Yep, officially old when you start thinking music is to loud. AT A CONCERT. After a few minutes I did forget about how loud it was. Or maybe they did turn it down? Either way, it was still enjoyable.
4. The husbands disappeared around midnight to get a last drink before the show was over and were gone forever (long story) but the moms/wives were ready to leave by then. We finally dragged our husbands out as the encore was beginning because it was already 1:30! And we had a babysitter to get home.
5. All. Day. Hangover. From two drinks! I never even got drunk but got a hungover. Ridiculous right? I was ready for bed by 7 PM Sunday night.
So I guess it's time to change the title of this little blog of mine, because this mamma is officially no longer young.
This had me laughing so hard. You are definitely getting old :)
ReplyDeleteright?
Deleteoh my gosh what concert? my boyfriend and i went to a concert in denver saturday night, i wonder if it was the same one!
ReplyDeleteRailroad earth, were you there?
DeleteHaha I love this! What concert did you see? I LOVE live shows but I'm not that old (27!) and no kids, so a little hangover the next day isn't so bad for someone who's only child has 4-legs and fur. Ha! Glad you got your "old" self out and had a good time, though ;)
ReplyDeleteha I'm 27 ( and a half) also! We went to see a band called Railroad Earth, I'd never heard of them but the lead singer went to high school with my friends husband so we went with them! It was a lot of fun :)
Deletehaha! I can't even remember the last concert I went to! Now I feel really old!
ReplyDeleteI can't either, before Saturday night anyway!
DeleteHa! Who'd you go see? It's a harsh realization when you choose to sit in the back over standing in the front ;) The front is now reserved for my top 3 favorites!
ReplyDeleteI recommend ear plugs :). Wait til you're really old (34) like me :)
ReplyDeleteooh good call!
