ok, so not technically old and sad, but have come to the realization that my kids are growing up toooo fast. i guess i never really noticed it with mandi because she has always been so grown up but my little sarahbear - i am not ready for that - ok, she has had boyfriends in the past but never anything that i even really thought about - they would just im each other or talk for 5 minutes on the phone - (i really lucked out, neither of my teenage girls like to be on the phone - sarah uses maybe - at the most - 20 minutes a month on her cell phone) - they never went anywhere or to each others houses. BUT tonight, we are sitting here watching jurassic park and at 8:45 p.m., my doorbell rings, and it is a BOY asking for SARAH - so i was like yeah she is here and then remembered that she was not home because she is working.
so why do i feel old, because my 14 year old baby girl is 1)working and 2)having boys come to the house for her lol. so this poor kid must think i am nuts because i was like yeah she is here and then i said she wasn't. i really thought he was asking for mandi who is 17 and i am used to people showing up asking for her. so then i looked at this almost 6 foot kids and said "who the hell are you" and then felt even older because he was like "i'm mike z. one of the twins who lives like 5 houses from you." OMG i felt stupid, i will just blame it on the fact that it is kind of rainy/snowy outside and that i was half asleep when the doorbell rang AND the fact that the last time i saw this kid he was playing basketball with jj and they were the same height and now he is probably 6 foot if not taller.
so then i asked him what he wanted with sarah this late and it was actually kinda cute lol - he wanted to know if she wanted to go bowling. ok, sarah is almost 15 but i am sooooooooooooo not ready for the whole dating thing. this is a kid that she grew up with, but never hung out with. he is a year older than her, and i know his parents and his two brothers, he does not drive and the best part - i know where he lives. sarahbear did mention that the twins were in one of her classes this semester and she thought one of them was cute - they are identical so i am not sure how she thinks only one of them is cute lol.
so how do i go from hey mike, the kid who used to play with my boys to hey mike the guy who wants to go bowling with my daughter UUURRGHHHH what would you do????

This is such a cute blog.
Poor guy--you didn't recognize him.
GROUP DATING until you both know how he is with her. She's a good kid from what you tell me and knows what kind of stuff not to put up with. Probably knows how to protect herself too. If he's 6 feet she must have pretty good aim at a very sensitive part lol if he tries anything.
you breath deeply and then exhale and realize the kid has grown up (it was going to happen anyway...LOL)
My oldest is just 14 but I realized last night that he is currently a 1/2" taller than me!...that isn't saying much since I am only 5'4", but geez...stop growing already.
Alas, we are getting old, but we are so much better.
They grow up too fast, you blink and they grow. And you are not old.
I see that telling your sarahbear, work as well as I saying it to my sarahbear. I believe I tell her daily to stop growing, but she doesn't listen. Although, were not at the boy phase yet, thank goodness. I'm not ready for that yet.
Now, did they go bowling? just limit it to 3 games, and she must come home right after them. LOL Good Luck!
Hey enjoy every moment Lori, they do grow to fast. Mine is 26 and getting married in a month. I was a SAHM and I still wonder where the years went.
