Mid-Life!
This is a joke - not mine!)
Whether you are pushing 40, 50, 60 (or maybe even just pushing your luck), you'll probably relate. Not only women - men too.
1.Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down. This gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache. Or out the nose or on the ear.
2.Mid-life is when you look at your know-it-all, cell phone carrying teenager and think, 'For this I have stretch marks?'
3.In mid-life your memory starts to go. In fact the only thing we can retain is water.
4.Mid-life means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand McNally--more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of Wisconsin .
5.Mid-life means that you become more reflective. You start pondering the 'big' questions. What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer a healthy choice?
But mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what is important. We realize that breasts sag, hips expand, and chins double, but our loved ones make the journey worthwhile. Would any of you trade the knowledge that you have now, for the body you had way back when?
Maybe our bodies simply have to expand to hold all the wisdom and love we've acquired. That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it!

OR GRANDPA TOO!

i am pushing 70 and the hairs still grow as fast as always but only on the front. the back is hairless. i thought it was because of wearing long pants, but not true because after 6 months of no long pants still does it. hope Shiloh wins
hehehe...yes, middle age is certainly interesting. I love the "grandma poem." It warmed my heart. Enjoy your day.
Yes, yes!!! Just give me the chance. I'll take the body over the knowledge anyday.
Hi Sandie....Like the new header. Nice post. Thanks. Have a terrific Wednesday. Susan
Hi Sandie,

Dee
haha, you crack me up! Love that top picture too, so true! voted for you!
Thanks for the laugh..!!
Have a great day..
Cute kitty! I danced with grandma all the way down the page. I love the poem about grandma. Sherry is a good grandma, and fits with the poem.
'I bet you do too!'
Y'all at Shiloh got my vote!
Hoe the grandson is loving the school. Maybe I should say liking. haha!
From Maine...LOVE
Hair-larious!!! I have already put my Dear Heart on notice that if I am ever unable, he is to pluck every ugly hair off my chinny-chin-chin. I love the Grandma poem. So sweet.
I am on the downside of middle age. Where do I go from here? LOL
I voted, not sure if it took.
Already 70 here, and lovin' every minute. (no chin hairs) :)
Have a great day!!
Ah, the wonders of middle age, or beyond!
So many changes to cope with, we might as well laugh about them!
I voted! Hope Shiloh wins!!
Have a great day, Sandie!
Laughing about aging is what keeps us young and you have helped us with that here.
The school 2 of my grandkids is doing the same Traget thing and I have voted a bunch.
Funny stuff! I voted and I'll try again in a few days!!hugs, Linda
Hi Sandie, Your post today has me smiling and smiling some more. How refreshing! Thank you. I wanted to touch base with you about Google + also. I am a member but do not want to start circles of friends...it seems to daunting to me. I put the button on my blog and took it back off. but.....I put you in my blogger reader by going to my dashboard and adding you to my reading list. Now you will show up in my google reader on the ipad. Could you do that to access my blog? I hope you have a wonderful day...Maggie Kat
I am finding out middle age is full of fine surprises!
Ah Sandie, I laughed so hard at the first half that I could hardly see the second half! Thanks for the cheer this morning!!!♥
love that sweet grandma poster.
Great post, my friend! Love the Grandma poster!
Happy Hump Day to you too :) Cute angels you've got there hehe.
You are to funny hahah! Thanks! Have a great day
I like the grandma poem. I was thinking just the other day how parents are in a hurry and hold their small childs hand the parent is walking so fast the poor child has to run in order not to be dragged.
I voted for Shiloh Hills Christian School. Have a great day.
How much Healthy Choice before it stops being a healthy choice? Like with Tootsie Pops, I don't know. I guess we'll have to ask Mr. Owl.
Very cute. Middle age, what can I say? It truly isn't for sissies.
I tried to vote...then they ask me to log into facebook, I'm not on facebook so I don't know if the vote counted or not! Hope they get a prize. Our children attended a Christian school, so I know they can always use extra monies.
I always love the thought of the day! How sweet! Enjoy your afternoon! I'm having fun visitin'!
GREAT poem. Melts your heart. Funny bit about middle age. LOVE Target. take care.
LOVE that kitty! Laughed out loud at the mid life stuff. I voted. :)
OMG i love that kitty pic. its definitely the mid of week. i am feeling i am in a bla mood.
LOL. I'm pushing 60 awfully hard and I can sure relate.
Totally made me smile. I'm 41 so I just pushed 40 but I can relate! :O)
Funny stuff! I voted. xoxo
I will definitely vote for your school. That is a great thing for Target to do. My legs are like a map - I like that analogy!
As we age we certainly do ponder many things. How much Healthy Choice ice cream is quite a dilemma.
lets not forget about those lovely long hairs now growing from our chin :)
I voted
I went to vote, Sandie, but the voting is closed. Sorry I was late.
You are as old as you feel and today?.....I feel pretty darn old!
Love love the stretch mark one.
LOL! So true, so true!
i cannot wait to tell this to my teens tonight...about the stretch marks..funny!!!
but really I think ...life does not even begin till 50.
I believe children enjoy grandparents as we don't demand..Yes its nice being a grandmother..
As for how we change as we age...YES! and the other day I found a hair on my lip?? then I realised it was growing there. I have told my daughter that when I get too old to see hairs on my chin, to please take them out for me. She said, don't worry mum, I'll look after you." now that made me feel better. xxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you for your funnies and you bringing laughter to my day. Yes my granddaughter is amazing. I couldn't resist sharing her pose. :D
Changes to our bodies can be a little shocking sometimes- can't they?
love

Good old Target. Comes into Canada, and removes all the employes at the Zeller's stores. Target says it will hire about 150 to 200 employees for each of its Canadian stores, when they are ready to open.
What about the people who were laid off? Target promises to give them interviews. If they're hired, they'll likely be getting a lot less than what they were making.
Target, creating unemployment in Canada.
Oh no, it said the voting was closed!
I might give up some of that knowledge for the body I had a decade ago. Who needs smarts, I am blonde you know! LOL!
And now it's the day after Hump Day - come on Saturday! :)
And the focus group on paper towels I was talking about on my blog? Jackson and Associates. Go on their website and register - they call you for various studies to see if you qualify. I also do Shlesinger, but haven't heard from them lately. Also Murray Hill.
So, so true! ;-)
I think I'm past the mid life stage..no matter I wouldn't trade who I am now for all the years that have led up to this point for sure.
