How Did This Happen?

Flashback to July 11, 2010

 

A young girl…

looked in the mirror today…

…and saw a 52 year-old woman.  Yikes.

 

I don’t know if you feel this way, but it doesn’t matter how old I get…I still feel 20-something.

God knows, the mirror doesn’t agree!

 

When I look in the mirror and see all of those wrinkles on my lovely face and that gray hair replacing those lustrous brown locks I just have to figure that the compensation is that I get grand babies to help celebrate now.   If I have to be this damn old, at least I get some thing out of it.

So, call this Scenes from the Road Senility…Just One More Birthday To Add to the Count.

7/10 – Birthday Lunch

 

 

7/11 Pizza Dinner

      

Leilah LOVED this peach.  My sister-in-law, Eva, says “Forget the baby food…she won’t ever go back.”

Mikayla wanted to try V-8 Splash.  She drank it, but didn’t ask for more.  I just love how she looks in this picture…

  
Blowing out the candles.
And the best part…pictures with my girls.
  
My friend, Wendy D says, “I really like the expressions here!!!”
Cade took these…they turned out REALLY good!
  
  
Okay, so I guess it wasn’t such a young girl looking in that mirror this morning.  I’ve got WAY too many awesome memories to be 20-something!

The Mothers’ Day

Isn't it funny how that works? And it's one of the things that kids have the biggest problem with. They start out with This Person Who Takes Care of Me is Mom. That means Mom of the World to toddlers. Then the subject of Mom's Mom gets introduced and the confusion begins. My Mom has a Mom? But[...]

You Have to Hold Your Mouth Just Right

For some reason, most of the people in my family end up holding their mouth right to do a lot of things. And I discovered the other day that the tradition continues...my daughter Kelly has passed the gene along.[...]

Not a Yippee! Celebration

But for whatever reasons that go through an eight-year-old's mind on any specific Monday afternoon, today Mikayla would have preferred to walk home from the bus with her BF Sophia and spend the afternoon playing with her. Gramma was NOT on the agenda. And I got the temper-tantrum to prove it.[...]
