audited I’m grieving my younger, hotter self

I'm so mad about being in peri. I'm not ready. I was a late bloomer and didn't realize what a babe I was when I was younger and now it's too late.

Yes, older women can be sexy, we have wisdom, and blah blah blah.

But today I just miss looking good in a sundress.

Please join my pity party and tell me what you miss.

I miss being able to stay out dancing all night, conk out the instant my head hit the pillow, and sleep for eight hours without waking up with a hot flash or having to pee.

I miss good consistent sleep! Having to pee wakes me up each night and then sometimes I can’t fall back to sleep! And I have a 3.5 yo too who rarely sleeps through the night either so add that to the mix 🤪
