    She’s a TEENAGER!

    Drama queen turned 13 in December.

    It should’ve been like any other birthday, right?  Wrong.  This year there was no elaborate birthday party planning, no need for Mom to be involved at all.  She wanted a sleepover with her BFF’s, a couple of pizzas, a bunch of snacks, and some drinks… and to pretty much be left alone.

    Looking back over the past 3 months, I identify that day as a huge turning point in my life and our relationship.  She isn’t my little girl anymore.  She doesn’t look to me for help and comfort, she has friends for that.

    I admit I have spent too much time thinking that in just a few short years, she will be graduating from high school and wanting to start her own life without me.

    I don’t think I will be ready for the empty nest she will leave behind.

      I guess you better start popping some more out so the nest won’t be empty…
