My kids are how old?

Okay school is out in 20 days, I can deal with that. I love summer and having the kids home. I realized a few things over the last month or so. Alex will be in high school in the fall. We went through the one inch thick book of electives, sports, etc. and chose some electives for her. Jordan is going to middle school so we did the open house at the school and chose the electives she wants. Samantha will be starting kindergarten so we spent hours looking for her birth certificate and immunization records and got her signed up during the kindergarten roundup. No big deal right? YEAH RIGHT! How did my babies get so old? Alex informed me she can start driver's ed in January of 2009....ONLY NINE MORE MONTHS....MY BABY....DRIVING!!

I look at my girls and I can hardly believe they are mine. I am still so young that I can't imagine having kids as big as they are...right? I am still young right? When I stand in front of Jordan I am just about looking into her nose. She tells me, on a daily basis, that I am getting shorter. Alex and Jordan both make sure I know how old I am, and not just the number that I am. They want me to know I am OOOOOLLLLLDDDD. They have also started making fun of me when I say some piece of clothing in the store is cute, that my hair is totally out of style and my choice of music is less than impressive. It's true...my babies have grown up and it's time for me to deal with it. The only hope I have while Alex and Jordan are beginning their teenage years is Samantha. She is still young enough to let me put bows in her hair and she still thinks it's fun to "hang with mom"...for now...
