I don't wanna grow up

Yesterday I had dropped my daughter off at a slumber party, my youngest son was at his cousin's house for the night, and my husband and the dog were visiting his parents. That left me and my oldest son at home. I was a little bit cranky as this week is finals and I am stressing to make sure I keep all of my A's in my classes. I had the door to my bedroom open and I heard him watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in his room. Mr. "I am too good to be involved in childish things". It made me stop in my tracks. Instead of going on with my work I thought was important, I stopped everything I was doing and joined him to watch the movie. Then I wanted to get ice cream. We paused the movie and hit up the local Baskin Robbins. We also grabbed some Burger King and headed back home to enjoy our spoils. We finished watching the movie in the living room and were dancing around and singing all of the songs. It was so much fun and for that time I forgot about all of my worries and enjoyed what childhood time I have left with a 14 year old young man. When I was younger I couldn't wait to grow up, but once I had grown up I decided I wanted the freedom of childhood. It is great when your children can bring you back to the good old days.

What is love?

This is a little ditty my 13 year old daughter wrote and I thought that it sums up love pretty well.


Wait for the boy that makes you smile like no one has before
Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear drop...
Love never has a happy ending because true love never ends
A boy is never worth your tears and the one who is will never make you cry
And yes boys are secrets and lies so when you get screwed over don't be surprised!!!!!!!!
Never regret something you did in life that you didn't like because everything you did leads to something you have always wanted...
Don't fall in love with someone you can live with
You should fall in love with someone you can't live without...
The truth is that everyone is going to hurt you in someway, but you just have to decide who is worth the pain and if you can't get someone out of your head then maybe they are meant to be there...
The only thing that really matters though is just to follow your heart and eventually you will get it right
Once you promise not to forget the day you met or the day you kissed, then the sky might fall and the stars might too, but in the end he will always love you!!!!!!!!!!
