Things that make me realise I'm growing up...

• Getting the energy bill and realising that next pay we are not going to be able to go out anywhere. And just accepting it without throwing a massive tantie or having a whinge
• Wondering if I am too old for certain clothes
• Even more potent - wondering if I am too YOUNG for certain clothes
• Writing on my blog in between turning the chicken and veggie rissoles I made for tea
• Not physically being able to swallow the $8 bottle of red bought on the cheap
• Having friends who are wine-y enough to be able to tell me which $8 bottle I should actually have bought for an ok drop
• Having a friend with a baby ready to pop out and join the world
• Being soooo excited by the concept of meeting a friend's baby
• Hiring people born in 1991 and realising they are old enough to vote and drink
• Not being able to fathom sleeping until 1pm on the weekend. How is that physically possible?
• Being a bit disappointed if we sleep in til 10am on the weekend after a late night, as half the day is already gone
• Understanding where mum came from when she'd get stressed if friends came over randomly and she hadn't vacuumed
• Catching myself saying complete mumisms like "you can clean up your pile of crap or I'll clean it up and it'll all go in the bin"
• Being excited by the fact we have a set of really nice knives (engagement present)
