10 signs that let me know i'm getting old

• All I want to do now that the sun goes down later is take a drive somewhere in between 7:30 and 8:15 pm. I'm guessing my average speed is about 39 mph. Windows down, of course.
  
• How unusually flustered I get at my students' flagrant immaturity. This is just a handful of them, but why is the handful always the loudest?
• In the past year Sara and I have bought a house, bought a car, and made a baby. What in the heck am I doing?
  
• At all times, I try to use as little electricity in the house as possible [lights, fans, heat, AC, etc], thinking that it will drastically decrease my power bill.
  
• Whenever I ponder a new tattoo [a few times a month], I always talk myself out of it for financial reasons.
  

• My prayer journal includes thanks to God for stuff like rain, grass, mornings, and friends.
  
• I really really care about grass growing in my backyard.
  
• I really really complain about mowing the grass that I previously wanted to grow in my backyard.
  
• I actually forgot how old I was when a student asked me in class a couple months ago.
  
• More than several engaged couples have asked me to do their pre-marital counseling. This is just as hilariously scary as it is an esteemed honor.
