Am I getting old???? NEVER

I don't know if yall have noticed or not but I sure have. There are GREY hairs on my head now!!!!!! I have had some for a long time but now I can REALLY see them. I have tried pretending that they are just high lights but that didn't really work. It can't work at all when the almost (but will never reach it) 13 year old says "haha Mom has grey hair" or adds "let's count them.... one.... twoo..... ouch mom don't do that" as I shoot him the drop-dead-now look.
I will be 40 in just a few months. Sometimes I think it won't be any worse than turning 30 was. Other times I realize that I made my mother a grandmother when she was in her 40s. I don't usually feel 40. Most of the time I can't believe I almost have two teenagers in the house.
Then along comes son, daughter and daughter's boyfriend to make even more grey hair for my curly locks. They can be such terrors sometimes but so much fun at others.
I have tried over the years to hide the few grey hairs with dye. That doesn't work because they are always more when the dye wears off. I have tried brushing my hair other ways to hide it. That doesn't work anymore either since so many of them are near the front. Oh well.... guess I will just have to give in and grow old gracefully......... NEVER I WILL FIGHT TIL I DIE!!!!!!!!
I am not ready to be middle aged =(
