Is it time to act my age?!

Haha behave! Act my age? What does the average 38 year old behave like?..

Picture this…I’m in my car, slouched a little to the side, got one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on the gear stick, I have got ”swag” written all over me, I’m in a shiny Peugeot sized car, windows down with my sounds on.

Reality… I’m in my car, slouched a little to the side, one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on the gear stick, I’ve got ”twat” written all over me, I’m in my Hyundai i800 with the windows up because it’s cold and belting out

Adele.

Music… I love Eminem, can even keep up with the lyrics on most of his songs, Professor Green is another favourite.. However, Bruce Springsteen puts on an amazing show!, the 80’s have some good belters and the dance tracks of the 90’s hold a special place in my heart.

Clothing… I love Selfish Mother of course! (My new sweatshirt supplier 😜) but if I go shopping I am in Hollister, Jack Wills, Superdry, not because of the name, but because it’s my way of walking round with the badge ”I don’t shop in old peoples shops” I went

to look for a pair of trainers, tried on some from a leisure shop and couldn’t get them off quick enough.. Give me my adidas and Nike air max anyday! Only downside, ”Mum can I go through your wardrobe and find something to wear”! Nope there is no balance on this one 😂

My Vices…I don’t smoke (anymore), I don’t drink (well binge drink anyway!) the odd glass or 2 is ok?! I don’t take drugs.. You where waiting for the anymore weren’t you? 😦… In fact I’m pretty ”38” if that’s a thing.. I love going to the cinema with my

husband, I love going out for dinner (well the gluten free menu for slimming world!) I love spending time with my gang (my kids Incase you think I’m part of an actual gang!) so maybe I am being ”38”.. That part isn’t too bad.

When I hear the term I’m a 20 year old in a 38 year olds body, I evaluate myself and think ”should I really do that”?! Then I think, well my 16 year old listens to Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Simon and Garfunkel!, My dad who is in his 70’s listens to Eminem, but also Rod Stewart.. You’re only as old as you feel.. No

that’s a rubbish term too as most mornings I wake up feeling about 50. Then I get my ”swag” on and I’m 20 again..

Don’t really know how I’m meant to behave at 38, but I will continue being 20ish in my head.. Why not, I’m not hurting anyone.. Be whatever age you want to be, just don’t embarrass your kids, they are more likely to let you out in public 😁..

I am a mum to 5 beautiful, polite, respectful children.. They fill me with pride every single day, just for being them. I am also a wife to 1. He is my one and only, my bestfriend.. I am a Childminder full time, working 50+ hours a week! In my spare time (the 5 minutes in bed before I crash!) I love to read, but have regular date nights to the cinema, out for dinner and just walking or cycling.
