Time moves by fast....

Sari is getting big. She's 5 now and in kindegarten. The other day she came home and told me that a boy in her class declared himself her boyfriend. Now, last year in Pre-K she said she had boyfriends, but they didn't know...just in case they told her they didn't want to be. But this time, oh this time, HE told HER that HE was her boyfriend. I guess this all took place while playing dodgeball in PE class.

Time has flown by! It seems like yesterday I was bringing her home from the hospital. Her tiny little head could fit in my hand. Her feet were just a little bigger than my thumbs. Now, she's about 42 inches tall, 40 pounds and talks all the time. She dresses herself, gets her own drinks out of the fridge. She can do basic math, recognize and write letters and numbers and is joining DAISIES (Girl Scouts for the young ones). Oh, and she plays Mario brothers and can get pretty far! I keep wondering where my baby went..?

Shaw had his surgery. He made it through like a trooper. He did have to stay the night at the VA OKC hospital one night. His neck looks like somebody slit his throat open and he gets the strangest looks from people now. hehe But he's dropping weight (almost 10 pounds in a week). So he's super excited about that.

School is going fine. These young girls in my classes are so funny. The things they worry about...haha I laugh at their petty issues. Yes, I am the old lady in all my classes. Their eyes get as big as saucers when they hear my response to their questions of me being married and kids. These girls get stressed out about their roommates or boyfriends giving them some grief. They don't work because their parents pay for everything. It's like I want to say "okay girls, just wait 10 years to finish school. Have a kid or two, get married, and let life happen. Then, start back to school and attempt to juggle your kid, husband, school, commuting, bills and personal obligations...then tell me your stressed" Ah, I know I"m begin hard on them. They are lucky to get their education done now before they are tied down to all that. It's just humorous is all.

Well, have lost 11 pounds now. My jeans are falling off when I walk and Im' beginning to see my jaw bone again. :) Till next time....
