aging.
Posted on March 10, 2010
I just have to record that today I did two things I never thought I would do.
And if I thought about either of them too hard I would cry tears of frustration and anger (at myself) and then throw myself a big ole pity party. And then join a gym.
I bought an anti-aging night cream to help with my dry skin (don’t care much about my wrinkles but am desperate to get my skin back to normal).
AND.
I bought the next size up in jeans. A size I’ve never been before and said I never EVER would be.
But I am.
And DAMN are those jeans comfortable and MAN is my face soft right now.
So although I should be out jogging and starting my diet tonight I am instead totally beat from a great+busy day with the kids and blogging while Chris puts them to bed.
Oh, and I’m sure a soda will be in my near future. Which won’t help the waistline but DAMN will it taste good. And as I embrace the ripe old age of 30 I’m finding that those simple pleasures in my day far out weigh (most of the time) my growing ass.
I’m also finding, surprisingly, that the older I get the worse my mouth gets.
Don’t be surprised that by my 40th birthday I’m 300 pounds, drunk all the time and smoking 2 packs a day. Because that’s where my bad habits seem to be headed.
And HELL TO THE NO will I tell you what my new and larger than life size is. So don’t ask!
40 year old Jodie sounds like a lot of fun! But, 30-year-old Jodie is pretty awesome….
So great to see you at the park today!
god love ya jod, you always make me laugh! go to bed mommy! you deserve an early night!
Welcome to the Dark Side, sister. The milk and cookies are much better!
Buwahahahahaha!
jod…i LOVE you! and I’ll slap the person that asks the size. you simply crack me up!
Oh my!!! I rarely (if ever) reply to your posts (I’m a bad blog reader/stalker like that). but this was the FUNNIEST thing I’ve read in a long time. Because as I sit here eating my usual bar of chocolate, going through my images and editing/blogging, I feel the exact same way.
thank you for being open and honest. You just made my day!
Congratulations on your new jeans! I know we are supposed to look to exercise for comfort, but to that I say: WTF? Are you SERIOUS??? Because what makes me feel better is chocolate chip cookies.
Tonight on the way home from the ER Athena and I stopped at Wendy’s for dinner. She got a Frosty with M&Ms and she commented, “Have you ever noticed that when you’re feeling bad, ice cream makes it all better?” It was so hard not to crack up. That’s my girl!
If I remember to, I slather my face with Aquaphor at night. It’s slimy but it makes my face feel freaking awesome in the morning. And it fixes my cracked hands too, overnight.
how about you judge your self by your character and your life by the 3 awesome kids you are raising instead of jean size or dry skin because lets face it we all are aging and don’t look as great as we did 10 years ago. but i would like to think i’m a stronger, happier woman than i was 10 years ago and so happy with the change of me…even if i’m not always so excited about the physical change of me….p.s. i don’t always have such a positive attitude, its a battle but today it looks like i am coming out on top.
