My 15 y.o. son is away on his summer vacay up in Oregon with my other famile. He is having a blast with his cousins and I'm having a nice break too! He has changed so much in a small amount of time. He is taller than me and his feet are bigger than mine. His voice is very deep and he has hairy legs like a man. His personality and opinions are expanding at a rapid pace. I have always known that he is a very intelligent boy but that could be an understatement. He is such a fact man! And even with his teenage mouth and attitude he surprises me with his compassion that he has for animals and children. I am quite sure he would be an amazing veterinarian. Only problem is that he is emotional about animals too. We lost a rescue dog this year and it broke his heart. So we shall see.
He has is also fallen in like with playing his acoustic guitar and electric. I had signed him up for freshman guitar class much to his dismay, but now he loves it. That makes me very happy as this is something him and his Papa Reed share in common. My dream is that he continue to practice to become as good as Papa.
My 10 y.o. daughter has finished up 4th Grade and has officially moved back home with me! She is growing up way too fast. She is changing so much and is on the fast track to going from kiddo to a young lady. Not digging this at all! What happened to my baby girl?! This is just happening to soon for me. Heck I was 13 when my monthly visitor knocked on my door. The God/dess is not slowing down for my comfort level with Miss V's journey in life. Alas I must adapt to all these changes.
I know I'm not alone in this. One of my beloved sisters sent her baby boy (reluctantly) to the other side of the states to become a man and soldier in the Army. He is doing exceptionally well but still!
My other sisters daughter is the same age as my daughter and has just welcomed her monthly visitor this week. She is so proud of her but why couldn't we have more time with them as kids?! Accept and adapt to change... My lesson in life right now.
She is such a sweet girl and is quite diva-fied! She is a girlie and loves music, make-up, fashion and talking! She is like Speedie Gonzalez at the mouth! And she is goofy like Jim Carey. She makes me laugh!
So as my kids are growing up and being more independent than ever I am really having to really look at me and my health. Today was the first time I tested my blood sugar in I don't know how long. It was not good...not at all! High enough to freak me out. My eye sight has been getting worse too. I have to make serious changes now before I end up in the hospital or worse.
So on that note I bid you goodnight and will check back in later.
Peace and love to you all!!!
