Thanks for the reminder of the slip...OH SUSANNAH...<br />Thanks for the reminder of the slippery slope of "5". We're approaching that on the 11th and for some reason, I just want to press "pause" right now and freeze her. It's sad, heartbreaking, and wonderful all at the same time. I, too, know that from 5 to 18 will go fast, even though no one ever told me this...I'm just hoping Vegas is a little too far from the Midwest for her to sneak out, steal the car, and run away with some boy. Oh damn...just thinking of it...makes me angry and weepy...all at the same time!<br />BTW...I LOVE it when your Mama comments on your blog...she's a great writer too. You can just feel the love. Girl, I'm right there with you...trying to soak it all up like a sponge.Michelle M in KYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-34828691510494012972010-04-27T10:42:18.326-07:002010-04-27T10:42:18.326-07:00ack!@!!!ack!@!!!Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699674732274478502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-27227549184360479332010-04-27T09:03:48.127-07:002010-04-27T09:03:48.127-07:00I remember my daughter's 4th birthday like it ...I remember my daughter's 4th birthday like it was yesterday - now she's 14 and I am tempted to take out the knifes.... puberty is the revenge of every daughter!<br /><br />The video is quite horrific, isn't it?

I seriously didn't think I'd be able to do the leaving him at U of O thing. Getting his dorm and room located, being introduced to roommates-and other twitchy-faced, red-rim-eyed Moms and too-hearty acting Dads, lugging all his stuff to a room he was to share that wasn't big enough for a hamster...I maintained-no embarrasung scenes. We had joked a lot about my refraining from grabbing him around the ankles, refusing to let go as he dragged me, his sobbing, pleading Mom around campus. I believe we even have a "joke" photo of me doing just that as we posed on the steps of some official-looking building just prior to our leave-taking. Problem was that when the camera clicked, I didn't. There I was hanging on to his ankles with the maternal-gone-full-on-cuckoos- death-grip and beseaching, oh-so- adoring look on my deranged face realizing that the photo op may have ended but I COULDN'T let go. NOOoooooo, I've changed my mind. I don't want my children to have a higher education. I don't want them to fly and be free....I want them to stay with ME! Your Dad and a very nervous and humiliated college-bound Andy were able to extricate my ten clenched, white fingers from their death grip on his Nikes-just before I finished tying his shoelaces into my hair. Then we pretended it was all a joke and Andy disappeared around a corner faster than even a Mother's reflexes. I'm hazey on the details of the trip home but I'm fairly sure it wasn't a lot of fun. As to our ride down 5 as we caravanned getting you and your possessions to San Diego....it too is a blur but, now that you mention it I DO remember a lot of Phantom of the Opera on the drive down and my feeling some strange yet over-whelming urge to educate you on nut crops of the Central Valley. I also wanted to hold on to you and not let you go but my experience in Eugene some years before proved the futility of that. I don't know what form your "letting go" will take when the time comes-as it does WAY TOO FAST, but I can promise you that it probably won't make any more sense of be one iota prettier than mine with you or Andy. I wait with bated breath to find out!<br /><br />Love You,<br />MomJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235688942890462756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-47979920605501667232010-04-26T11:37:15.665-07:002010-04-26T11:37:15.665-07:00Oh my.
