tuesday

I had a wondeful evening and night Monday night.
Daughter and I hung out together on the deck. We talked about school after high school, drinking alcohol, love, prom, family, friends, boyfriends, after prom, pre prom........she's an open book with me. Some of the time I think" OMG I don't want to hear this"...........on the other hand I'm happy she feels like she can talk to me............and doesn't feel the need to keep her life a secret.
We sat together under the stars and had dinner..........we laughed, joked, and connected in a good way.
I feel lucky.

And then tonight me, boyfriend, and daughter went to daughters sports banquet.
My last sports banquet as a mom.
It was fun.
I almost always enjoy seeing daughters friends......and watching them be the crazy, wild, smart, funny, playful teenagers that they are...........
Daughter received a special award from the cheerleading squad.......she was chosen as "the best friend to have"............it was sweet.

I used to pray to God to let me live until my children were adults.
Now I want to amend that prayer.
I'd like more time please.

I paid bills today, and balanced my checkbook.
I ordered daughters yearbook.
Her cap and gown have already been ordered.

Boyfriend is out of pain.
He's checking out surgeons and hospitals.

Both sons called me while I was at the sports banquet.
I couldn't answer the phone but called them later.
Middle son wanted me to pick up a paper shredder for him if I was going to be at Walmart anytime soon........................oldest son just wanted to say hello.
