How do you know when you are getting older?

....when there's more ice packs in the freezer than there is food ..especially those ice packs with special stretchie Velcro wraps that keeps them in place over your knees

Oh, Kenna, I definitely know about those ice packs!!!

When my oldest granddaughter (by marriage to my ex) is making plans for her junior prom, and her 18th birthday (and first day as a derby girl, I might add) is just a few months away.

When my hairdresser tells me that I'm at least 60-70% gray now.

When my sweetheart is retired and we talk all the time about where we might want to be in a few years when I retire.

When the number of years I've been at this job is more than the number of years until I will retire.

When I look at the backs of my hands and see my mother's hands.

When I look over in traffic and find myself thinking, "There is no way that kid is old enough to be driving!".

When I look over in a wine bar/dive bar and find myself thinking, "There is no way that kid is old enough to be drinking!"
