What the heck?

I think I am starting to get older… and I think I like it.

I am here sitting on my couch, under a blanket, in my pj’s and with my robe on and I am STILL feeling cold.

Yes the heater is on… This is not normal.

Wait I have more!

I woke up this morning and I was amazed by the size of my belly.

It looked like back when I was around four month pregnant

and then it struck me… wait a minute I am not pregnant.

The hamburger that I ate back on Friday is still inside of me.

Are you following me?

I remember years ago while pregnant with my baby boy asking my mom when do you know you are getting old?

Now I know when… when you start feeling like you are pregnant all over again.

Think about it…

Constipation.

BIG Belly.

Cold all the time.

I think I have a point.

I am a genius.

 If you are feeling pregnant but you are not don’t go to a doctor.

Save your money. There is nothing wrong with you.

This is a sign that you sister are becoming a proud member of the middle age group.

Welcome to the club!
