truly middle aged

Today is my 38th birthday.  I have to face facts, I can no longer say I am 'mid thirties' (to be fair I have been stretching that one for a year or two).  On paper I guess I am quite old now.  But in my head I am still about 22. 

Was is Oscar Wilde who said 'Youth is wasted on the young'?  Too true.  I would love the opportunity to go out all night dancing on tables, but I guess it will have to wait now till the children leave home...having just done the maths that would put me in my 50s (!)
