The "baby" of the bunch just headed off to school, driving herself there for the very first time. It's dark, cloudy and drizzling. Just to add to the enjoyment, she creamed a deer just about a week ago. I'm officially a nervous wreck. (Now THERE"S a poor choice of words laugh

)

I guess if I don't hear sirens for the next 20 minutes or so that'll be a good thing.

My sympathies. I've got about five years before my oldest does that. I may have to hit up my MIL for a nerve pill to get me through it.

Maybe it's time for a shot. I'm pretty sure we got some tequila around here. laugh

Mine turns 16 next year. Her best friend just turned 16 back in November and her mom has got her a Ford Explorer to drive. Girl is going to have to work for it though.

My son I still have 5 years before he is 16. Maybe I will stay in Iraq for a little more time.

Any meat from the deer?

Unfortunately no, when I say she creamed it I wasn't lying. It was quite the mess. I did finally achieve manhood however by going to the junkyard, getting a used fender etc and fixing the car. Fender was even the right color although not the exact shade. I'm rightly proud of myself. laugh

Don't worry. The rest of us know.

I'm figuring Abby will run Mike over and then back up over him again to see what it was she ran over. grin

Ouch... I so do not miss the potty training days. I'd tell you a story or two but I don't want this to turn into a crappy thread. grin

I guess no matter what age they are, they give you pause for reflection. cheesy

Mine is three and change.

Last summer she "made doodies" in her pool.

While her freind was in it with her.

Momma- what's floating in the water?

Everyone out NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think what I find most amazing is that seemingly "normal" adults can go from saying "take a piss", "*expletive deleted*it" and "crap" to "pee-pees" and "doodies".

280- I can't even imagine. I was a mess the first day that I dropped her off at Nursery School and left her there.....Jen wouldn't let me sit on the front lawn and wait......sigh.....

Let's see Bill Murray take a bite outta THAT one! laugh

I believe that's called a "fecal accident" in pool terminology. I recall dating a girl with a young son once. I was taking young son for a little float in the lake after lunch. He was like 2. Young son decided it was time to empty his stomach into the lake. I did my best to swim out of range of the spreading pool of barf.

Didn't feel much like swimming after that. shocked

Its tough letting them go.

Watching them move out to their own apartment in town is one thing, but leaving them behind when you move to another state is another.

I moved from Arizona to Maryland in Nov and left my 23 year old son and 20 year old daughter behind. My 19 year old came with me.

What was even harder was moving their momma in Feb from AZ to MD. That was a tough one.

In the end we can only hope we raised them the best we could. They'll always be a part of our lives but not like it was back when they were babies.

It hurts but in time your heart will mend. You'll also cherrish them phone calls.

Okay so she's peed in the training potty like 10 times today. No poop. I know as soon as I stick a pull-up on her she's going to crap in it.

I expect Mike will have a permanent place on her front bumper....right next to the Bogie sticker.....

A "mud angel" laugh

it was amazingly detailed you could see the seams in her jeans where they imprinted the mud. at least she was face up. i picked her up and carried her about a 1/2 mile home with pony following like a puppy. she cried a lil but not much i wanted to cry

280plus · « **Reply #22 on:** March 12, 2008, 04:20:23 PM »

Don't worry, you'll look back at that say 20 years from now and still feel bad about it. laugh
