I am forgetful, or maybe I just get distracted with things, so I created countdown calendars for the events that are coming this month.
So tonight...I look at my calendar..the farthest event is in 14 days. Absolutely everything is coming in that two week period..I actually felt like crying all the sudden.
My oldest, Ashley will turn 18 Tuesday, my best friend comes home on Thursday, Ashley, I really hope, graduates the following Monday and my son, Jesse turns 16 that following Thursday.
Yes I am stressing these events, worried that I am not going to be prepared in time for them. Two birthday parties..two milestone birthdays within a week of each other..For me, for any parent, seeing one of their children turn 18, or 16, that is a happy and scary moment..an emotional moment..they are growing up...THEY ARE GROWING UP..I am gonna cry..yes..out of happiness...fear....
Then graduation...GRADUATION..12 years of school...I learned a lot...hopefully she learned more than me..she is going to be done! She will be starting her life...I AM READY..who the fuck am I kidding..I AM NOT READY...I am going to cry more..yes..out of happiness...fear
Then I think, I need gifts for these events, I should provide them small parties for these events..I should. I am not sure if I will be able to or not..Yes I am sure I will pull it off..something will have to wait..these things, once in a lifetime chance...I will look back on these two weeks..and I WILL BE AMAZED AT MYSELF....
So taxes are paid, auto insurance paid, comcast, verizon, t-mobile..still got, water, sewer, electric and hope for the best. Thankful for camping supplies and the Delaware..and the tree in the backyard haha ..Just kidding everyone..We will use the neighbors tree if they plug my sewer for non payment..
Now that I have made my self laugh tonight..I will do a repeat of this for the next 14 days..
