He dutifully sent a text about 2 hours later. "here"
Fifteen minutes later came another text (from Zack-they know how to work me) "can they stay?"
I wasn't surprised- I have been 18 myself, you know. I made them sweat it out for an hour or so before finally replying "k" (I know the lingo) followed by a brief reprisal of my lecture #31, just for show.
They are good kids- but still a mom worries....
I sat down here today to order Alex's books for school- but so far I have just gazed out the window, checked the blogging world.. and here I am....
I realized - somewhat to my surprise, that though I am indeed a bit concerned..... mostly I'm just.... Jealous....
Member what it was like to be 18 and Free! for the first time? Member what it was like to have a highway in front of you and the parents behind? The skies are blue, the air is crisp- it's a great day for a new adventure...
Soon Alex will leave for college. My youngest is in high school. My days of intense parenting are waning. No grandbabies for awhile, please...
Think it's a good day to plan some adventures of my own. I read somewhere recently that although you cannot change the facts of your childhood- there is only one person responsible for your second childhood....
Have I said that before? Doesn't matter really... I'm to busy thinking about road trips to care.
