What's the going rate for a geriatric 27 year old??

I feel...OLD.

Not because I'm 27 with 3 children. Not because I wake up every morning with a back ache and joints popping all over the place. Not because my favorite show is Murder She Wrote.

No folks, those are all just side effects of my fabulous life as a SAHM. Jealous much?

The reason I'm feeling old because this week we got...gulp...LIFE INSURANCE!

Ugghhhh...I can feel the gray hair seeping in. Oy. I feel like I should be flipping through catheter catalogs and start driving 20 miles an hour in the middle lane. I've already started responding to people by saying "That's nice dear". I'm trading in my Nordstrom's card for an AARP card. I'm going to have to start carrying hard candies and crumpled tissues in my purse. It's all downhill from here....and I'm not just talking about my boobies.

{Say Queso!}

Not only did buying life insurance age me 30 years, but its made me just a wee bit suspicious. I think Jordan's trying to ice me. That's right. He's trying to find a pair of cement shoes in my size, ifyaknowwhatimean.

Why else would he get life insurance on me?? Hmmm??? I'm gonna have to sleep with one eye open from now on. I should probably have him taste test all my food too.

In all honesty, it SUCKS having to plan for things like this. It provides some relief knowing our children are covered in case anything awful would happen. But I found myself getting emotional throughout the process of getting the insurance. Talking about all the possibilities of what could happen was just too much for me to handle.

Anydebbiedowner, lets end this on a positive note, shall we?! It's a 3 day weekend! Yeeaahhh boy! I can't wait to catch up on some blogs and hang with la familia!


Happy Friday Amigos!!

Grab an Ensure and lets get the party started, geriatric style!!


ps- thank you SO much for all the awesome comments on the cake! Boogie LOVED it and he's already requested more cakes :)

  1. I discovered my first gray hair, about 6 months ago. It was worst than seeing Mario Lopez on Extra.

  2. I know what you're saying. The rates get higher the older you are so then you know you're dying every minute...

    Ok, this is cheery!

  3. My husband and I are both insured up the wazoo! I don't plan on either of us dying anytime soon, but just in case.

    I am new to your blog, and I love it!

  5. Want to know what is even more depressing? I get a free life insurance policy through my job and I don't even have a husband or children to give it to! And I'm 28! Ugh. I have to go muffle the sound of my biological clock now. Good bye.

  13. Ahhh to be 27 and a target all at once! HA!
    I hated getting my life insurance, but it looked really good when I was able to dish out 350k to my boys!!! So in our trust it's like Ok....15k when you turn 16 to get yo ass a car...figure it out, you can find a car for 15k!

  15. My husband got mail from the AARP right after the new year. Talk about feeling old!

  16. Ok, look. I'm hot for your wrinkled breasticles any day of the week. So put down your Ensure and pick up the Valtrex.

    Wait. Is that a Herpes thing? I can't remember if it makes a woman horny or if a horny woman has to take it to clear up her Herpes.

    Also, please let me know when you have a solid 5 minutes because I wrote a crazy ass post on Life Insurance last year. I think you'll love it.
