My kids are with my inlaws all weekend so H and I could come into the office to work all weekend without interruptions. I should be getting drunk right now instead of doing paperwork on a kid-free Saturday.

Disclaimer: 40s is not old.
BUT I am almost 30 and when perusing some travel forums for our upcoming trip to Vegas, someone had asked about good bars/clubs/lounges for the over 40 crowd, and every single one I read about, I was like "Huh that sounds right up my alley! I would love that." And bookmarked the thread.
All the posts about what hip nightclub to go to, how to get in, working with a host, wearing heels, buying bottle service....it just made me exhausted and stressed out.
As of yesterday, I have no living grandparents. My dad is my oldest parent at 72 and has cancer in remission. My aunt just asked me to be the executor of her estate (I was glad to say yes).
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my last two in 2015 and it's weird that now my mom and aunts/uncles are the oldest generation.

My youngest sister got engaged at Christmas. My middle sister and I went to David's Bridal today to try on and pick our bridesmaid dresses. All the beebee brides in there trying on their wedding dresses with a crew of no less than 5 all wearing "bride tribe" sashes and tiaras and taking pictures and selfies made me feel about 150.
It's 11am. I am showered and fully dressed with makeup on and my hair curled. I made breakfast and have done some laundry. I bathed T and got her dressed. I've also cleaned the kitchen and supervised H while he hung some pictures in the hallway.
Before I was an old, I would still be asleep.
I'm still not even close to here, ever. My poor family.
My Friday night with friends included: doting on a kid, a sensible dinner of baked chicken and veggies, watching lifetime shows on dvr, and then exclaiming "it's after midnight! I've got to go!" We didn't even have wine because everyone is on some alcohol free diet plan. It was a great night.
Today was DD2's 4th birthday party and when I cut up the sheet cake, I didn't make a giant mess. All the pieces were all even and everything. I've always thought being able to properly cut a cake was a total 'adultier adult' task. And today i was the adultier adult!

I couldn't figure out that I had hit private browsing by accident and sweet muffin0 had to draw me pictures to figure out what I'd done and how to undo it.
I'm up in Mass. to see my grandmother, who's dying, and my cousin and I were talking last night about how this is what makes us feel like adults--because we're involved in the details. How when the doctor wants to talk to the family, he doesn't just mean our parents anymore.
Today, being an adult stinks. But at least I can bring her her favorite meal.
I'm sorry about your grandma. Just curious what part of mass are you in? I'm in southeastern
Northeastern, near the NH border. I grew up in Merrimac.
