You know You are an Adult When

Moved From Myspace. Original Post 7/18/07

Okay, so I was talking to a good friend, and she suggested I blog about the topic above. So here it is. My top things of how you know you are really an adult.

1. You get excited about getting things like appliances (I GOT MY WASHER AND DRYER) and installed rugs instead of the newest sneakers that just came out. (this is what started this blog)

2. You go to the bank, set up an account, and you designate a certain amount of money to go into your savings, vacation club, christmas club, and whatever other "special" clubs they have.

3. You go to bed at 9PM at night because you have to get up at 6AM to get ready for work. When you try to stay up, you wake up at 3AM and realize you must have fell asleep in the middle of the show.

4. You plan ahead to pay your bills. Maybe you are like me and have budget sheet, so you know exactly what you have to pay the Friday you get paid, and know how much it is you will have left over.

5. You no longer do as many things on a whim. If you and your girlfriends want to go out or even if you are planning something with the kids, it has to be scheduled a week in advance.

6. You are yelling at your kids for the same reason your parents yelled at you 10 years ago. Clean your room, do the dishes. "Why is it that I go to work everyday and bust my ass, and still have to come home to a messy house?"

7. Instead of watching MTV and BET, you watch Lifetime and the Home and Garden Channel.

8. Alot of your friends are from work and much older than you.

9. You go out to a party and a song comes on that you have never heard before. When you go home and ask your children, they can recite it word for word.

10. When you do that budget is 4, you find yourself budgeting for groceries

11. The reason you don't know any of the music in 9 is because you listen to the adult radio station and you know all of the words to Neil Diamond songs.

12. When you go to a store, the first section you want to go to is either the household section or the cleaning supplies section.

13. You check your credit every month to make sure your score is getting higher so you can buy a house.

14. Freddy Krueger doesn't scare you anymore, but the bill collector does.

15. You try to do the running man but look like you are just skipping backwards

16. You spend your entire workday daydreaming about your younger years and wondering why you had to grow up. You liked it when the only worry you had was "Hmmm what am I going to wear today"
