Time Off For Good Behaviour
Ever get the feeling you're loosing your marbles? Oh. Ya me either.
It's completely crazy around the T household right now and instead of me feeling bad I can't get a decent post up, I'm taking a bloggy break until #1 son's graduation is over with on friday. Oh what the hell. I'm giving myself one whole blogging week off. Time off for good behaviour and all that.
Besides the graduation I have a list a mile long I need to get done. Maybe even two miles. I swear I'm not exaggerating when I say that list is three miles long.
Posts I will be writing upon my return....
- Sweetie, Honey, Dear. Which one are you?
- Estheticians And The People They Work On
- My Favorite Coffee Shop - Going to hell in a hand basket
- Joy In Dressing Room of the Fantastic New Boutique She Found Saying to her husband who just happened to call at that moment - AARGH! I'm so fat!!!
- Stop the World. Gregg Was Right.
And so much more swirling around in this head of mine.
For now I leave you with this little fellow....
Michael doesn't look like that any more. But I look at the picture and am reminded of the cuddliest little man you ever wanted to meet. He still hugs. But he teases more. He tells me he teases me so much to show he loves me. Some days that boy loves his mother a whole lot I tell you. And he graduates on friday.
In the blink of an eye he's an 18 year old solid six foot-some mass of a man with a heart so soft it melts your heart some days. But don't tell him I said that.
I love to see before and after photos. You did a wonderful job in the love and construction of your son and his character. I hope you don't pull your hair out getting everything done this week. Happy graduation you Michael and the whole family.

Oh, the comment wouldn't load and I kept coming back so I refreshed, then hit post again and the silly thing came up twice. Now you have three comments for the price of one visit from little old me.

My family says that too. If we don't tease you or give you a hard time it means we don't like you. My husband says my side of the family must really LOVE him. hehehehehe

Wow, I just flashed forward 10 years to when my son will be 18 and I'm tearing up. Sigh. I of course haven't aged a day, as I'm sure you haven't ;)

Awww...he was so cute! I mean, he still is but you know there's nothing as cute as a little kid.
Enjoy the week! Hope grad goes well.

He's so handsome!! I just did some before an after pictures for a preschool teacher the boys both had that is retiring this month. Seeing the pictures makes me realize how quickly my boys are growing!!

congratulations Michael.
Posted by: Pamela | May 01, 2008 at 11:27 PM
Awwww....they do grow up in an instant, don't they? I took my baby to get his Learner's Permit Wednesday so he is a semi-licensed driver now. I guess he'll be graduating before I can blink again!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one having a hard time posting; guess it's spring fever and waaaaaayyyyyyy too much going on!!!
Good luck with graduation!!!

Hope you're having an awesome week off. Today's the big day for Michael, correct? I wish him lots of love and happiness. He looks like he grew up to become a wonderful young man.
