I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry! YA RIGHT! I can't believe it, we have made it through and have a boy graduating, WOW, it is weird, I am really getting up there, my parents were fricken old when I graduated. I hope the weather holds out and is OK and I hope I don't hurt too many people's feelings before this is all over with. I get a little testy when planning big events......I never used to be this way, it is a new thing, I hope my family still loves me until I get through this stage.
Garrett is going to live out back in the barbershop......so he can do laundry and learn to be on his own....yeah we'll see how that goes. I am not having extreme sadness or anxiety because he is not leaving. Barton County Community College MWF and work TT. I think he is smart to do this for a semester, he really has no idea what he wants to study.....so this is a smart way to start. I really am proud of him.
I have always been that mom that wants her kids to live close by and come by in the morning for coffee, and the grandkids walkin here after school for cookies and milk. I just want them to be good parents and husbands, you know you can't go to school to learn that. I would never tell them to not go to school or make them think they couldn't go to whatever college they could. I would find the money and a way.......so I wasn't surprised to hear Garrett's plans. He is my son and I think he likes it here for now! I truly always thought he would play ball, I am learning that the little map I had in my head is an etch a scetch. He will make his own choices, it just might be better than the map I had goin on!! But don't you think for one minute that I won't get my 2 cents in.
Planning on a fun weekend with family and friends. Anyone that knows who we are and would like to come join us is invited. There will be great food, great people and I am sure some good ole laughter too. A friend helped me out with a picture video, it is so great and means so much to me and I know Garrett is gonna love it! Thank You so Much Karren. You are so dear to me! Please stop by and say HI!
Give me a hug next time you see me.........I never act like I need one, but always do! LOL.
Till next time...Rhonda
