Sacramento

Well, Jessie is off to Sacramento this morning. She actually made it out of the house without her father and I. Our Baby!!! The other day I received a note from another parent asking if they could take Jessie to the airport. Usually, I would want to see her off myself but I think that we smother her enough. So off she went at 4:30 this morning to Burbank Airport. She was so excited that she almost left without giving me a kiss goodbye. She hopped into the car and was off. No looking back. She's probably thinking," it's party time now... " No parents. I'm excited for her. This will be her first trip on an airplane. She was a little worried about her ears popping and scared of being on a plane but I think she will be okay. I'm sure of it. She has us all fooled with her baby act. I think it's an act that she puts it on for her father. Most likely she's a wild child in disguise.
Jasmine went on this trip a couple of years ago but hers was an overnight trip. This is just for the day and she will be back this evening. Before I know it she'll be in the eighth grade and wanting to go on the Washington DC trip. Things are happening just way to quickly. No wonder my hair is turning gray before my eyes. Monday night, I went to a college workshop for Jasmine. In three short years she will be off to college. I was thinking of my mother this morning. When I was about to have my first child everything went haywire on her. Ex: High Blood Pressure, Anxiety, Carpel Tunnel you name it. It happened... Will this happen to me once all of my children leave the nest? Hopefully, I will be prepared for this day. Better yet, I'm not going to worry about it and live in the here and now!!! It's great being a mom. They are my pride and joy. Till next time...
