Ok, my friends, I am in one of those moods. Maybe because I didn't sleep good last night and I am tired. That would have nothing to do with the fact that I slept in my bed with Dusty on his side, Sara and Maggie sprawled in between us with me hanging on to my edge! lol That's not new but......
I miss my granny! Everyday but some days more. She was my best friend! She loved me for who I am, set me straight when I needed to be straightened (and that wasn't very often if ya know me LOL) and was just there, all the time, anytime! I know she is still here. She is in my heart, my mind and my core.
I have been thinking of my Shelbi Grace being a SR. and graduating. I know that's a school year from now. And yes, I know, she's really not MINE, but I think of her as mine. Would get her like I get my own! That baby girl was just in 2nd grade when I came to know her and love her and her mama as much as I do.
And then that brings me to her mama! She is missing that girl this week while she is on vacation with her friend. It's been quiet in the house! Maybe that's why I am thinking of her being a senior. Because Kim and I have been talking about it, getting pictures of Shel-bo for her page in the football program. Or maybe because I looked at that little cheerleader picture on my desk of her before I left work that Kim left behind. But I love Kim, will be there for her when she needs me! Keeping her busy, not that she needs help with that and I'll leave Sara with her if she needs company! lol
Sooooo, if she is a senior that means my baby will be a sophomore! And that means he is not far behind her! Now that is a heartbreaker! He is driving, wants a car, doesn't need me like he used to! But I will always be his mama and he will always be my baby boy!
So I'm puttin the breaks on now! I am done with my little pity party. My glass is half empty day! I've dwelled enough! My makeup is burning my eyes and I can't see what I am doing! So I'll say to all of you! YOU being my friends and family that read my blog. I love you all! I am grateful to you all for your friendship! You all make up the pieces of my heart and I have a big filled heart! God has blessed me with many great people, past and present, and I feel very lucky!

O wow!! What a post...puts alot into perspective....and time is going by way too fast, so we shouldn't waste the time the Lord blesses us with. I'm very blessed to call you my friend. Altho we don't 'hang' out as often as we'd like too, it's nice to know you are there!!! I love you and I cherish our friendship!!!!
stop with the emotional posts... i am already a basketcase.. LOL.
I know the feeling our little baby boys aren't babies anymore... where did the time go???? WOW..
I just picked up B at Shelby... and like I said I am now crying at the drop of a hat.. LOve ya.
Come on its not all sadness
Hey, I agree with Andrew. It's not all sadness. I am on the other side of that part of my life now and I had my crying times too when the kids grew up but now it's great to have GRANDCHILDEN!! God has blessed us all in SO MANY WAYS!! Just be thankful you have that sweet boy & girl. You all have done a great job because they are good kids!!!
I'm starting to feel your pain...I still can't believe Lauren is 5 and starting Kindergarten this year and Morgan is going to 3rd grade. Lauren told me the other day (when we were working on kindergarten stuff to get her ready) with crocodile tears in her eyes, "Mommy, I don't wanna grow up...I wanna be 5 forever". I told her that I wanted her to be 5 forever too, but that's not gonna happen. I can hardly look at their baby pictures without crying because I ask myself...where did the time go? But like you said, they'll always be our "babies". I don't get to see you anymore Valarie, but I'm thankful our paths crossed and I'm proud to call you my friend. Love ya :)
I get in from New York...and now I'm crying. When you talk about your granny...it reminds me so much of my own granny. Then you start talking about Andrew...sniff, sniff..seriously I started crying because I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes we just have "those" days.
