Good-bye Spring Break

Spring Break has already come and gone! We had a good week. We started with 60 degree weather on Sunday and Monday, then we worked into the low 90's by Friday!! Whatever!! We took advantage of Crystal Cove two of those days, we relaxed and hung around the house the rest. Jason and I had Friday to ourselves for the most part, so we went to the golf course and he played golf. It was great! So peaceful, and relaxing. Of course it is always nice when you get perks, like major discounts on your round, but that only added to the relaxing part! heehee I drove Morgan and Britt to their dad's house on Friday, early, and Saturday, Morgan's friends picked her up and took her to Magic Mountain. She had a blast and Brittany got to spend time alone with Jim. Kirsten spent the night with G'ma and G'pa on Friday night, and learned how to skip rope, and lasso!! She is soooo excited! Anyway, we had a very fun, relaxing and eventful week! 

Bringing up Morgan....

I am quickly discovering life with an almost 16 year old. On one hand, I see this gorgeous girl with all of the talent and personality anyone could hope for, and on the other hand, I see everything in me that I don't like. Stubborn, independent, blah, blah, blah. All of a sudden my intelligence has dwindled by half! I remember that time in my life. When my mother all of a sudden knew nothing. And all of my friends at school were the trusted confidants. I want to have her be the abnormal teenager that doesn't go through that, that will actually take my advice and grow up to be 10 times more than I am. I am finally understanding the frustration, and the pain. Your heart aches when you see them go down the same paths that you took, simply because you wouldn't listen to your parents either!! We try like hell to be different and fight upstream, only to realize that every other person in the world did the same blank-idy-blank thing!!! I know in my heart that she will grow into an amazing person, she already is one, but it is soooooo scary! Letting go is the most difficult step in motherhood that I have experienced yet! Absolutely heart wrenching! This is why we start to age at this point! heehee I know that we will work everything out, it is the just the unknown that is always the scariest! She is and will always be a good friend and my first born! Nothing changes that!
