Prom, Flu and the Tummy Bug..

Prom, Flu and the Tummy Bug.. 

Yes all in two weeks and my bank acct really showed it. But this momma is oh so thankful my baby girl is better, after missing one week of school and testing positive for not one but two types of flu had her pretty sick, and as most of you moms know when your babies are sick there is no sleeping.

It has been quite the emotional couple of weeks, and at one point I remember being in  front of the potty and asking (begging, pleading) to God for more strength and just to be able to sleep..

During my time recovering from the tummy bug I started watching Netflix (courtesy of Ciera and Vijay) and I came across season one of Army wives. I have watched all of them before and watching them again was still pure greatness. I was already emotional from just being tired, and looking at the Boys prom pictures so any kind of good bye on Army wives had me bawling. When the boys got home from school Cameron started watching it with me (don’t tell his friends) and at one point there was a graduation ceremony and he saw that I was tearing up and he said

 “Gosh mom I can already see how you are going to be when we graduate and leave for college, what are you going to do when we leave?”

Yes start the tears here.. Thanks Son!

Cameron took a selfie on my phone

Don’t get me wrong..

I am so proud and excited about my boys’ future, I am proud of all their accomplishments; I am overwhelmed with joy in every single thing they do. And yes I am gonna be a mess when it all goes down. But I don’t dread it. Not one bit.

After all We are having a blast!

Prom went perfectly..

We had the privilege in helping decorate where Prom was being held. It came out so nice and I was so excited for all the Juniors and Seniors to see it.

I kept it together, had already seen the boys in their tuxes I was so proud and doing so good. 

But when they posed for their first picture at my house with Aaron’s girlfriend it hit me. I had to dab my eyes and bite my lip to keep it in control. 

They looked so dang handsome, so grown, where did these nice looking young men come from? 

They were all such good sports and we met at the picture place, and they all five posed for me and smiled and had a good time without complaining. And we took part of the red carpet event where the parents got to be the paparazzi, Aaron put on a good show, took several poses for us. Made us all laugh.

Best part of the night.. Having Aaron, Cameron and Kear bust into my room when they got back and laughing and telling us all about how amazing their night was.

That right there is making memories that will last a lifetime for this momma..

P.S. Just wanted to send a shout out to the ones who called, texted and left bananas, sprite and chocolate on my front door during our time of need. God has put some amazing people in our family’s life. And for that I am grateful.
