Terrible Thirties???????

Have you ever had a revelation about yourself that didn’t exactly make you feel all that refined or intelligent?

Yesterday It occurred to me that in many ways I differ very little from a toddler.

My poor loved ones!!!!

To better illustrate:

1. I must sleep – don’t ever, ever let me get over tired – every scrap of patience and tolerance I normally possess vanishes into the great land of lost “z’s”.

2. I must eat – the second I say I’m hungry you have about 30 minutes to get something into me or………. you can literally watch my upbeat, cheerful disposition fly out the nearest window.

3. When I’ve had enough – (of the mall, kids arguing, pestering etc. etc.) I’ve had enough – it is time to change or remove me from the situation pronto - I might just throw myself on the ground kicking and screaming.

4. I get REALLY excited about normal, everyday things – something nummy for dinner – WOW!! Going to see my mom – HOORAY!!! A get together at our house – YIPEEE!!! Cuddle time with Hubby – YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! You get the drift – I have to be careful or I can work myself into a full flutter of delight overloading my senses, making me sick.

5. I HATE to be told No – what do you mean no???? No one says no!!! I wanna stomp and pout – seriously……..

6. Tied to number 5 and number four, but never the less different – I really look forward to things and have an exact picture of how it is all supposed to turn out and if it doesn’t turn out that way….. well I wanna stomp and pout – seriously……………

7. When I start to share a thought or story do your very best to not let me get carried away and overly excited. No matter how hard I try, I will talk over you, interrupt and in general lack total common courtesy – Butttttt Mom - I don’t mean to, it’s just my words come too fast and loud!!!

Sometimes I think – For how much I’ve grown I haven’t ever developed………….
