What's Your Week About?

I've been working on this digital scrapbook concept and it's taking far longer than I anticipated! I have scanned several photos, mostly Nicole, because this is for her graduation album. I've decided I'm not good at the physical concept of scrap booking, so I'm doing it digitally.

This week coming up is going to be interesting. Alex and I are taking the week off school because there are three diving meets, a school field trip with Niki, a meeting for homeschoolers, the usual Wednesday night study, Friday night and a new study we're doing at church for six weeks....and Niki's 18th birthday!

I've been thinking on this concept--my daughter is going to be 18. What does this mean? Well....at seventeen she pretty much could take off and leave and we couldn't do anything about it! At seventeen kids can leave the home and not come back if they're staying out of trouble. Problem with that is if they do get into trouble, it's back home they come. And if they wanna come back, we have to let them in!

So Niki, being clever as she is, points out that she will be 18 and can make her own decisions. I pause on this. And then I tell her this: "yes, baby you can. That's so cute. You can leave now, but then again, you could leave last year, remember, we had this conversation? Difference is this time--Mommy can lock the door behind you!" Booyah! Or however that's spelled. Yeah, who's thinking now? I think she'll hang in there for another year, lol.


Hoping to spend a little quality time with my Cat friend--we need to have a coffee break together and I'm nevah too busy for coffee. Cat--I have DD coffee here, too, so just TRY and turn that down! We can prank call GiGi. She'll like that. What d'ya think? Circle Yes if you will come and No if you won't.
