Where Is the Girl?


Miss me? I miss you!

I've been in a funk for a week and could use some moral support from all of you moms.

My "baby" is graduating from kindergarten next week. Where did the time go?

It really wasn't that long ago when she was taking her first steps. Now, she will be walking across the stage to graduate and become "a first-grader." Twelve short years from now, she'll be graduating from high school. After that, she tells me she wants to be a mom when she grows up.

I remember when she was filled with wonder and amazement at everything new -- when she was two and discovered her shoelaces for the first time, and how fascinating it was to untie them over and over; when she was four and a butterfly fluttered by and she clung to me in fear, and then she was overcome with sudden fascination and I could barely catch up with her as she ran away...

I'm happy, but so very sad.

Take some time to enjoy your kids this weekend.

    I've been wondering where you have been.
    Congratulations to the graduate. Savor this moment mama! Blink and your baby will indeed soon be graduating from high school...my first baby just did recently. One down and four to go...
    Have a good week.

    I thin if you do not have time to go on your child school, If you are that bisy then you should not have a child. That is my comment.
