9.) You find yourself passing up the sugary cereals in favor of cereals with 4g of fiber or more.
8.) You feel you cannot face the day without proper chemical mood enhancers (ie. caffeine).
7.) You've uttered the words: 'Because I said so,' 'Back in the day,' or 'I'm so tired'
6.) Boxed mac & cheese and processed cheese slices have lost their appeal. (Fish sticks & chicken nuggets also fall into this category.)
5.) You can't wait for bedtime.
4.) You enjoy bathing.
3.) You find yourself arguing with the evening news.
2.) Dangling from a steel jungle gym over concrete doesn't seem like a good idea anymore.
1.) You hope and pray for naps.

I think I'm a grown-up...holy crap.
All of the above applies to me except I still like fish sticks.
Guess that means I'm embracing my inner child, yes?
oh, how I look forward to bedtime. I guess I'm an adult :(
Mmm hmmm, I hear ya girlfriend!
Jamie :)
Aw man, by this list I qualify as an adult... bummer!!
Oh, Lord! It looks like I've turned into an adult when I wasn't looking!
Happy SITS day!
Crap I love bedtime and don't think a day is complete without naptime! Although I still like mac and cheese from a box, maybe there's hope for me yet?
Naps, baths and bedtime, my favorites!
lol! So true!
Happy SITS Day from an adult :)
Ten out of ten,... I am not an adult,... I AM OLD! My mother should read this,.. she thinks I am still 5 years old
Darn it, i think i'm a grown up. When did that happen?
Happy SITS day! :)
This is a great list! I'm so an adult!! :) Happy featured blog day with SITS!
Stopping in from SITS...I THINK I'M A GROWNUP!! ~I don't wanna grow up, I'm a toys-r-us kid....~ Great post lol!
I must say ALL of these are true. Although, in the grocery store on Monday I had a craving for "Reeses Puffs". I love me some PB and Chocolate! What's a girl to do?? I didn't cave though so I guess I still fall into the adult category. Bummer!
LOL! so true. I'm just stopping by from SITS to say hello! great post :-) congrats on being FB!!!
oh....I miss fish sticks.....and macaroni & cheese. :-/
Congrats on being SITS's FB! Enjoy your day.
How concisely you've summed up my life in this post.
Fish sticks [shudder].
My husband and I are constantly remarking how old we are. We're only in our early forties but when we watch the stuff on TV and listen to music? We feel totally ancient.
Most of things are very true for me, except naps are my mood enhancers!
Bedtime and naps...I look forward to both with equal fervor!
Awesome post.
Man, do I feel old now...
Thanks. A lot.
Hope you're enjoying your SITS day in the sun! Have a great one, and congrats!
I wake up saying "I'm so tired" and usually fall into bed at night saying "oh I love my pillow". Guess that makes it official, huh?
When I was younger, I always wondered why my Dad yelled at the TV. Sadly, I'm doing it now. Is it bedtime yet?
P.S. Stopped by from SITS and I believe I shall be back!
Yep, that cements it. I'm a grown up. Visiting from SITS - enjoy your comment love today!! ;-)
I think I'm a grown up too, but I still try to live by "growing old is enevitable, growing up is optional" when I can.
Every single one of those applies to me. I knew I was getting old!
When did this happen? I was hoping to wait a few more years.
yep, that pretty much sums up my life! Happy SITS day!!
I did at least half of those yesterday! LOL!
Good post!LOL
That's funny, but so true. Esp. on the hair removal. Unfortunately, I decided to have three more children (a late in life decision) and am faced with munchin on the mac n cheese, chicken nuggets, and fishsticks.
NUTS!!! I passed into adulthood and didn't realize it. Happy Sits day.
Yay! Happy SITS day KPG. It's always fun to come across a post I've already read and commented on that's being featured on SITS.
I'm not so much a grown up... which doesn't really surprise me.
0) You teach your toddler to greet strangers with "Hello Newman"
-1) You think sleeping until 6:30am is a rare treat.
-2) You have 10 boxes of Clairol Nice N Easy in your attic stockpile that you got at CVS for nothin'.
-3) You countdown the days until the next episode of "Big Love" comes on TV.
-4) You derive a smug satisfaction from your perfectly edged lawn.
-5) You do the happy dance when you successfully lobby to lower your property taxes at the DCAD office
-6) You cut yourself off after one martini
-7) You leave parties early because you have to get up early for yoga class tomorrow morning
-8) You find that it is really important for the pink throw pillow on the sofa to remain exactly. where. the. housekeeper. positioned. it.
-9) Switching out the lightbulbs in your house for CFLs is the highlight of your day
-10) Real cream in your coffee becomes a matter of life or death.
you had me at needs naps! But every now and then I crave me some peanut butter Captain Crunch :)
I've far surpassed this stage and I've moved onto "I have to make noise when getting up and down from the floor or couch." Just like my dad. And I'm only 34.

I'm almost there. LOL
Ok, very cute post... but i found something else that intrigued me - you write twilight fanfic?! Tell me what you've written PLEASE! I looooooove that stuff! ;)
Who says we have to grow up and give up boxed mac 'n' cheese?! I refuse to admit I am an adult since I am still a kid at heart! Love the post! have SITS day Karrie!!
Love Karie
I agree with all of them except #6. Sorry but Kraft singles still hold a special place in my heart & stomach. :)
I'm so there. Cute post.
ROFLMBO as I pluck my chin hairs. LOL Congrats!
LOL, I still can't believe it, back in the day I was...... LOL there I go- I am old! :-(
I must not be quite a grown up, because I still like chicken nuggets and fish sticks from time to time. Or maybe it's just my taste buds that haven't grown up
I am grown up for the most part. I still like chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, etc...
I'm definitely a grown-up. In fact heading past grown up and well on my way to old!
That's a good test - they all apply to me! I guess I'm an adult after all...
Amen! Every once in a while I have an urge for some Mac & Cheese but I make my own instead.
OMH...that is funny and TRUE! visiting from SITs..have a great day...hugs rozzi
Ha Ha! I don't want to grow up! Too much complaining! lol!
Oh... so depressing! I do feel old! Great list! :)
There was only one that does not apply to me..the mac n cheese..I want it more and more..I make it more for myself than I do for the kids!! THEY are sick of it...not me!
Otherwise...I guess I'm an adult..boo hoo
That was a great post! I'm totally all grown up...when did that happen?
So true!!!!!! lol I find myself saying "back in the day" aLL the time! lol
Hello via SITS!
It's bad that I found myself nodding my head to each of these, isn't it? Particularly the one about the bathing & bedtime, and I don't even have kidlets yet!
So true!
Stopping by from SITS! I love your list! It had me cracking up..I guess I have to face the fact im an adult now! Nap time can't come any sooner!
Oh man! I am 23 and I am DEF. an adult! Happy SITS Day my friend :) xo
ha ha ha ha this is awesome.
Hahaha! I love it! I think it is the truth, never spoken truer!
I'm 100% grown-up then. I think I like the nap one the best . That's a daily wish -- and never comes true! Happy SITS day to you.
Sad, but true.
Oh man I'm getting old... lol!
lol fantastic... you give me so much to look forward to!
I was visiting my Dad & 10 year old sister and I said something was Rad. She said "what's rad?". Then I knew I was an adult. And felt old.
I've been a grown up for sooooo long!
funny list, stopping by from SITS.
Happy SITS Day! I think I am a grown-up, darnit!!
Well, I qualify, too! Congrat on being featured at SITS.
Oh man, I am definitely an adult.
yeah... I'm definitely a grown up.
Aw, MAN! When did they let me become a grown-up? Seriously? LOL Great post!
I want a nap.
Amen to this sitsa!!
Phew so glad I do not make the cut!
BlogBaby
uh-oh...i think i'm growing up... crap!
naps are the best!!
I still don't enjoy bathing...I think I'm part feline. Or maybe just give me a couple more years. As for everything else though...spot on.
Happy SITS Day!
i LOVE IT!!! it is all so true. and now... naptime. *smile*
On the plus side... maybe I'm not quite as old as I feel sometimes ;)
Love it! Definitely would be my top 10 too!
You just made my day.
*smile*
Hi from SITS! Oh, what a list! :D Hair removal is the ban of my existence!!!
Hmm, I find I try to go for the mass loads of sugar and fiber both in cereal. I still love mac and cheese and the last time I hated taking a bath I was like seven and then shortly some time later I loved them! lol.... I think I'm somewhere in between a kid and a grownup and I'm not sure I'll ever be fully a grownup!! Yippiee! LOL...
Damn! I'm grown. But check this out, (rofl) why did my hand immediately go to my chin when I read #10?
LMAO!!!!
Here, here!
Yeah, I guess I am a big girl... thought so.
I guess I'm not quite grown up yet because there are a few things that I don't do yet. I love this list though...way funny! I have really enjoyed your blog so far.
Happy SITS day! I keep telling my daughter you're only a child for a very short time, once you reach adulthood it goes on and on and on...
Darn it! I guess that measn I'm adult! who knew?
Just a fellow SITSa stopping by wondering when it was exactly that I grew up?! :-D
Granted, I'm not looking for fiber but anything that says "weight loss" or "lose inches" then it's in my shopping cart! Although with a toddler, boxed mac & cheese and chicken nuggets are a lunchtime lifesaver in our household, but when I realized I *wanted* to drink more water than soda and desired to go to bed before 11pm (instead of staying up all night laugh hysterically at blogs like these!), I knew there was a true generational gap.
I still get the sugary treats cereal. I'm such a rebel (that will die young...) But I can face it, I'm still old.
My best, Lynn

Yep, I'm officially a grown-up. Thanks for breaking it to me gently!
Well who knew... I must be an adult now. Does it count if I don't wanna?
I'm always arguing with the news and the Sunday political shows...and I know full well that's only the stuff mom and dad used to do. sigh
Trying to catch up on blogging:) Hope your SITS day yesterday was great!
Man, now I know I am old!
...you listen to talk radio. ;o)
Happy {belated} SITS day!
Shoot I am officially an adult now!
Happy Belated SITS Day :)
Wow. I am an adult for sure. I was wondering what ailment I had come down with. Thanks for solving it for me lol.
I am so with you on #5. I. MUST. SLEEP.
Great list
Happy belated SITS day, love this post, I agree with everyone but the mac and cheese and chicken nuggets still like them once in awhile :)!
