#150/365--Graduation
Our day
...in pictures...
empty chairs
...waiting to be filled...
...soon filled with...
beaming graduates
...a sea of hats...
and
a glowing face
Mommy-Daughter
...us three...
...the fam...
(minus Tara and Caleb)
...the grands...
...the selfies...
sibling
sand
volleyball
...the set up...
...friends and family...
...the cake-camera...
...guess what...
I held it together
and
didn't shed
...many...
tears
There are many
...things...
I want to say
but
I cannot wrap my mind
...around...
how entirely
blessed
I am
Milestones.
Excruciating joy.

#149/365--Endings
I did it.
I made it
...successfully...
through
another
school year
in
a new
...grade level...
After school
today
all my
4th Grade
...babies...
were
crying
hugging
good-bye-ing
and
Have - a - Good - Summer-ing
while
I stood there
thinking
(as I have been
for the past
...month or so...)
.........
"Today is
my Lollipop Girl's
...last day...
of
school..."
and
I shed
a few tears
...myself...
but then
I pulled myself
...together...
and
shut down
my
4th Grade Classroom
for the summer
then
...came home...
and
threw back
a
...cold one...
Here's to
endings
.........
and
beginnings

#144/365--Shopping with Sarah
When I need to find
clothing
accessories
crafts
...whatever...
this is my
...GoToGirl...
she can find
the
sales
bargains
secondhand items
alternate ideas
and
she likes to shop
...whereas...
I don't
...plus...
when I drag her along with me
we get to have
BFFQT
...which is rare these days...
#143/365--Ninth Grade
Then...
there's this one
...my NinthGrader...
who had his
9th Grade Banquet
to celebrate
...leaving Junior High...
and
...moving to...
...High School...

#141/365--Tunes
Notice anything?
...different channel...
...same station...
my
...kid...
thought it would be
...amusing...
to set
...all my stations...
to
a local
...hip hop station...
playing songs like
...he thinks he's funny...
but
the joke's on him
because
I don't mind
this genre
his mama
is more
...hip...
than he knows
but
6 channels
programmed to
the same frequency
is
...a little much...

...an eighteen-year-old...
once upon a time,
...this...
...now...
...this...
I just can't even....
....I mean...
dude
Can you believe
I
have
an
adult
child?
(P.S. You are lucky--I almost posted
the ugly
messy
right-after-childbirth
photo
but
I thought
maybe
that's too much?)
Happy Birthday
to
my LollipopGirl!
