The past couple of years have been pretty rough around here.  Don’t get me wrong, we are grateful for so much and so many but well, rough is rough. we have had a prowler since December of 2010 and he just doesn’t seem to want to let up and the local law agency is not much help…and therefore want to blame it on us or the neighbors. But, that isn’t the story for today, it will however be coming soon…when I am at liberty to say all that I want to say about it. Today is about the effects of it all.

Now, when you have crazy situations going on in your life it takes a toll on you. Emotionally, mentally and physically. And that all came to head for me recently. I was out and about and we stopped in at a Zaxby’s. I went to the counter and a young man greeted me and ask me for my order. I gave him my order and then… and then..

Oh, I just get tore up even thinking about it.

…he had the gall to ask me if I was eligible for THE SENIOR DISCOUNT.

REALLY? REALLY????

I wanted to die. I wanted to ball up in a fetal position and lay in the floor. I wanted to cry. Right then. Right there.

(cue the creepy doom music made with Sibelius 6 plays)

I was just floored…and speechless. I mean what do you say? In my mind I am still young. I mean really, 42 is young right? And their senior discount is for 50 and over. I still have 8 years to go. Surely I don’t look that old. I mean I know I have bags under my eyes from lack of sleep. I know I have little worry lines here and there. But do I really LOOK 50?

And then, as my thought process went on and on, over and over this whole ordeal I realized:

OhhhMyStinkinHeck!! I ONLY have 8 years to go before I am ELIGIBLE for the senior discount. What happened to being 30? That was just yesterday. And 20 was only the day before that. I am not kidding…don’t you laugh!

I really have to go. You will find me in a fetal position in the middle of the floor. I might be there awhile.

FANTAGE.COM is a colorful virtual world where tweens cruise around castles, forests, and cities on rocket boards. Along the way, they can shop (virtually), play games, and meet fellow Fantagians. They can use their purchases to dress their characters in different clothes to suit their mood. For keeping in touch with buddies, there’s group chat (regular or safe mode), Instant Messaging, and texting. A premium membership can be purchased for $5.99 per month which allows for a bigger allowance and more places to hang out, but Fantagians can also earn virtual bucks through game play. Kids under 13 need a parent to activate their account, and parents can choose levels of safety options. I think Fantage is a great site that allows kids to play freely without parents having to worry about who they are interacting with. The games are fun and entertaining. Fantage has a lot to offer the tween set that is looking for a place to hang out and interact online. There are also extras on the website such as wallpaper, stationery, coloring pages, cards, etc.

Founded in 2007, Fantage (Fantastic Age) is a next-generation destination site for children and the fastest growing community site for children 7-14. Fantage’s games and adventures entertain and delight children, instill important lessons like sharing and giving, and promote positive social interaction in an engaging, exciting, safe environment that both kids and parents love.Upon signing in, users pick the servers they want to join like Emerald Elephant or the popular Auburn Hippo and then select a region they want to visit, whether you want to go Uptown or Downtown; play some games at the Carnival or play some water games at the Beach.

If you want to do secret-agent style missions, you can head underground. You can earn medals and gifts by playing mini-games. Every time you play a game, the user receives stars (money). This money can be used for stickers, clothing, hover boards for your inventory & IDFone!

Some of Fantage’s favorite games include Buzzer Beater, Bricks Breaking, and most importantly our Top Models, Inc. Fashion Show, where there are three rounds of timed themed looks! Warning: this game IS highly addicting!

The best part? Fantage provides an age-appropriate, safe social networking experience within a fun virtual world. They allow the option to customize everything in your child’s communication privilege. Being dedicated to the safety of Fantage members, they have created a highly sophisticated, three-tier safety system providing the greatest level of protection of any community site for children on the Web.

Fantage is also free. However, Fantage also offers premium packages as well to become VIP members!

Getting older seriously stinks! I am so tired today. I didn’t get in until after 1:30 AM this morning and body is screaming at me to go lay on the couch and take a nap.  I used to could “hang with the big dogs” and party all night and function the next day. Now, I can’t even go to a YAnni concert and function the next day. Golly, I am getting old apparently. And the crazy thing is that my mind still thinks I am 20. My body just tells a whole other story. Maybe I will indulge in some more caffeine and shop for some of those UGG Australia boots all the young girls are wearing and convince myself I am still young.

 

No, not those kind of Senior Moments, the other kind. The Princess is in full swing of her Senior year of High School…and I am being dragged down the road with her. Yes, I have been kicking and screaming the whole way. I don’t want to go down this road. I don’t want her to be a Senior. It isn’t what I had planned. There is a Senior Parent Meeting that I have to attend tonight…and I am just not wanting to attend…at all! It seems to finalize things. They will be giving me all of the info on stuff that has to be done. And I keep thinking that if I just don’t go maybe all of this will go away. You think? Yes, I know, that isn’t my luck. I am not old enough to have a Senior…I really am not…see, I am just ummmm 29. Yeah, that is it. 29! Really, I am . No kidding. 29. I know, I am dreaming…like I am dreaming of the new office furniture that I want. But hey, at 38 (yes, seriously) a person can dream…and I really do feel as if I am still 29. Except when my back aches, and the arthritis in my right arm flares up.
