Emerson

I tell ya, this girl is a gem.  I keep reminding myself that this is the best it will probably get in life, but not in a depressing way, just in a 'take it all in' kind of way.  Two kids happily at school.  My 'baby' still at home with me and if there isn't a more fun buddy to hang out with all day....  The worst of our problems are 7 and 5 year old dramas.   This I can take, teenagers, I can not:/

Speaking of teenagers, this happened last night:

 She went with her sweet friends and I shed a little tear.  They rolled up in the driveway to pick her up, 3 giddy girls with a hint of makeup on, heading out to Taylor Swift.  She didn't get home until 11:45pm - on a school night;)  I can't even wrap my brain around her doing this without a parent; just when you get to the stage in your life where sleep returns because all your kids want to sleep in, it'll be the endless nights of staying up late until you know everyone is safe and sound in their own beds. Excuse me while I start looking into some prescription meds for me.....
