essays, fruit flies, and thirteen years.

It is late...1:42am, to be exact.  Just submitted an essay that took a pot of coffee to complete.  It's funny, when homework looms, it seems even the most undesirable tasks become desirable.  Like killing fruit flies.  Sorting mail.  Even an episode of Hannah Montana would have seemed more appealing.  But, I managed to finish and now I can't sleep.  So, I will post this pic of my eldest who just turned thirteen.  I am now the mother of a teen-ager.  She is the coolest.  Happy 13th, Savannah Joy.  I love you.  Deeply.

Wow! The one who made you a momma is 13! I won't make a comment about how time flies because us mommas already know. Just continue to be the amazing mother that you are, and the teen years will treat you both well.

Hahaha, I totally know what you mean about finding other things to do besides what you "should" do. I usually end up making a magazine picture collage to send to Emma, ESPECIALLY if the deadline for the other thing is really close.

I love that picture! Savannah is such a great girl! Love you guys!

Carin, my son just turned 12 today and I'm in shock that 12 years just flies by...I miss my new born, but I love my relationship with my 12 yr old too, so mature and fun. Just tooooooo fast!

I shed a few tears realizing my first born is 12!!

Happy birthday to your daughter!

I've grown to love your blog.

What a great pic of your daughter...it is unreal to have a thirteen year old. I have one as well! What are you going to school for? I am attending a University also...working on a BBA! It's challenging with kids. Keep up the good work!

kulio...sleeping is so overrated.

kelly....thank you so much. I am glad you like.
