Little Lizard

Sigh... my daughter came home last night...

I cannot put into words the joy I felt when that child put her arms around my neck, and said the words, "Momma, I missed you."

She has been staying at my Dad's this summer... With his work schedule, and her school schedule they just never seem to have the meshing of schedules, so they have enjoyed school being out.

Goodness... I have missed my kid.

I think she has grown 4 inches taller, her hair seems longer, she is tanner from all the time she has spent playing in the pool...

Goodness... I have missed my kid.

She came home with braces, so I am learning all about what she can and cannot eat. (I am one of those people that never had to have braces, never had a cavity... yeah I am one of "those"... lol) She is so mature sounding as she explains, "Momma, Doritos are bad for my teeth, and I really should cut back on my sugar intake."

Goodness... I have missed my kid.

This growing up thing is going too fast...I look at my child who is 12 today and I know that tomorrow she will be 20 and in college and I feel like I need to find the remote and take it off fast forward.

I want a pause button

Goodness... I have missed my kid.
