School's out for summer!
Well, almost. It's out tomorrow. Couldn't come soon enough for my daughter. This morning she hands me this multi colored note & wants to know if she can go downtown with some friends after school tomorrow & hang out. "Will there be any parents there?" Kendall "No, mom" (insert eye roll here). "Then I'll go (in a happy voice). There needs to be a parent." "Noooooooo!". Turns out that her friends can't go either...because there aren't any parents...so I'm not the only mean parent of the bunch. I was actually feeling a little guilty & had my husband make a call to Kelsey's dad. Turns out she can't go either. No parents. So instead we're going to go out to lunch after school. Very fun! No fights about it either! She must have gotten the memo that Kelsey couldn't go either. Otherwise, there would have been a HUGE fight. Would you let loose a bunch of 12 & 13 year old kids downtown without a parent? Part of me feels like I'm paranoid & then there's that other part that isn't willing to compromise her safety no matter how over protective I seem.
Y'all have any fun plans for the summer? We'll be sticking close to home....leaving plenty of time for scrapbooking & creating some new memories. I'm taking this amazing online photography class & I can't wait to start taking some pictures. I just have to get a willing subject. Maybe tomorrow she'll be willing when her friends are there...hmmmmmm.....got some techniques to try out!
Alright. Gotta go. We got in a HUGE shipment of products today & we're dilgently putting it out for you to drool over....oh the paper...just lovely! And the embellishments....just divine! Ok, ok. That's enough. I'll see you soon!
Hold fast! It was hard as a teen to have a mom who was "mean" (smart, more like it) and didn't let me do much, but so many times as an adult, I've been thankful for her wisdom in saying "no." It protected me from so much heart ache and trouble!
Every summer I think/hope to get lots of scrapbooking, sewing, reading, etc., done, but it never seems to happen! Maybe when the kids are older?
Hope you learn lots from the photography class.
