A Funny Thing Happened...

I turned 50 this year, which is no big deal! (At least that is what I keep telling myself) The thing is my family makes it a big deal! I tell them it is just a number. My husband likes to give me a hard time and teases me all the time. Now everytime I say something like "I forgot" my husband either tells me "welcome to my world" or his lasted thing to say is "welcome to the grey side". My kids give me a hard time especially my youngest. Now I have been wearing reading glasses for two years now and I still get a hard time about it!! My family laughs at me everytime I put them on. Well the other day at work one of the day nurses put them on and said they were really strong I said well they are reading glasses, so she put them on and said that she could read that really good I might have to get some. Than the next day the same thing happened with someone else. Are we so vain? I admit it took me a while before I went in, I mean when you have to take a magnifying glass to read a bottle of tylenol it is time to do something about it! I know it is all apart of the fact that as you get older stuff happens. We went to this gift shop yesterday and my son just couldn't help himself he had to get me this coffee mug that says: The big 5-0 on the front and on the back it says: Fifty... half a century and it SHOWS! Thanks a lot son!!! My hearing is a little off right now and it has nothing to do with my age! They are stuffy and I can't get them popped! So I ask my daughter if she got the money back from her teacher yet? What I thought she said is: She spent it. I said, "She spent my money"? Mom I said " She sent it"! Everyone starts laughing, I go Oh I thought you said spent!! Well I still don't feel 50 and I don't by any means feel 50, but I know my family well keep reminding me of it anyway!!
