And Just Like That, It's Over (EDITED 05/29 10:48 CDT)

Now he is a Junior.

WE have finished our sophomore year.

Oddly, when I close my eyes, he's still 11 sitting on the stairs of the pool. His cheeks are chubby, his belly rolls moving just enough to make out the tan line that his sitting in an inner tube created on his still-kid skin. Arms out, "Daddy, catch me."

Then I open my eyes and I'm looking at my husband's senior picture (less the bad hair) in color. He's pulling into the driveway with the music too loud and the gas tank on empty asking, "What's for dinner? Oh, and I aced my final."

Excuse me, I have to go throw myself into a medicated existence until I'm done being over this.

With Regard to the Quiz:
Lindy is Correct.

JustMe made me laugh so hard my cheeks hurt.

I think "I get" that feeling. I met my "baby" at 18 years old and he's gonna be 30 this year, thinking about marraige, & in grad school. Really, really???
