Getting older.....

So, I must admit that I will be turning 40 this year...not until the last day of November but I am starting to feel the effects of my advanced maternal age. It all started with the acquisition of my weekly pill dispenser. I appreciate having it and it makes taking all of my vitamins easier but it also makes me feel old. The only other people I know who use these are my parents and Josh's parents! I am grateful that so far it doesn't have daily doses of drugs but only vitamins, however it makes me feel....almost 40!

You can't be getting old:) It was just yesterday that you were this beautiful blonde curly headed Sunshine. I'm glad that it is only vitamins that you need to take. You have to keep up with those young children, which can really tire you out.

HAHAA Heather! Don't feel too bad.. I actually JUST bought one of those (except mine is round!) because I got sick of EVERY SINGLE DAY wondering.. did I take that darn prenatal!?! You'd think after taking them for the last 1.5 yrs, I'd be an old pro.. but nope! At the ripe old age of 31.5 - I too need a pill dispenser! ;)

ummm so I just looked closer at that picture.. you've got a honkin lotta pills in there!! What the heck are you on??? I'm pregnant and take one little pink tablet... well, it's kind of a big tablet, but still - it's just ONE! You must have mountain dew colored pee after all those vitamins!! (Shaun and I took a multi from GNC many years ago and it gave us bright yellow/green mountain dew pee.. I think cause we were peeing out most of the nutrients! haha)

I am so grateful that you are taking your vitamins faithfully. I just keep seeing people Dad's and my age with so many ailments and on this drug and that drug...but thankfully we just use food supplements and even with all our bouncing around the world, we're healthy. Now if that's not good motivation to enjoy your pill holder, I don't know what is! (-:
p.s. bekah and jess use them too, just to remember what they've done. When you have three little ones you need all the help you can get just to remember what day it is!

haha! This is Bekah using mom's blog :) But just so you know I am so scatter brained that I have to have a pill dispenser for mornings and evenings ~ I think that equates me with an 80 year old in a nursing home :(
