Why I am...

• STRESSED
• BROKE
• ANXIOUS
• SAD
• FREAKING OUT
• SLEEP-DEPRIVED
• GOING GRAY

As indicated in previous post,

I am now the owner of a 16 year old teenaged son

who drives.

By himself.

In the city.

At night and on the freeway.

Thus the fun adjectives that express my state of mind.

 eating ribs...

Tanner's birthday was filled with food and the DMV..

We ate breakfast at Denny's,

where Tanner scored a free GRAND SLAM.

He then washed it down with some fresh peach pie and a cupcake.

We took him to Texas Roadhouse for some ribs after football practice.

He ate like the teenaged football player that he is.

Love it.

Love him.

I love him enough to pay TRIPLE the amount in car insurance to insure his

dang teenaged boy butt.

Seriously, kill me...

 eating cupcake...

 getting driver's license..

 yeah, baby, yeah!!

 

Maddie was the only one who gave her brother a wrapped present..Thanks sister!

 Polishing off his pancakes..

And...

We have started packing.

Have you heard? 1/5 of my family and my heart is leaving.

In 6 days.

I will not be comforted-Diet Coke and Peach pie are not working.

She is leaving.

I can't believe it.

She is moving on up, to the east side.

Not to a deluxe apartment, but to a dorm room.

Which she will share with someone I don't know.

She will share a bathroom with 2 others whom I don't know.

She will be happy, despite (maybe even because) being gone from her mom.

There is not enough peach pie or diet coke in the world.

 packing..

My kindergartener is loving school,

My first grader is speaking in Chinese,

My 16 year old is asking if he can take the car,

My girl is going away.

I need a pill...

or two..
