They are racing along and growing up to fast all of the sudden. Sara had her meeting with the superintendent of the schools today and she has the blessing of the district to move forward with her plan to graduate early. Her father went with her for moral support which was great for both of them. I am just sooooo not ready for her to leave for college in the fall but it doesn't matter if I am ready only that she is ready.

They had a dance at school tonight and Sean had a shhhh "date". We went to Salvo yesterday and got him a nice shirt and vest to go with the pants he already has and he was gorgeous. I was looking at pictures of him from even just last spring and the amazing transformation that has taken place with that boy is unbelievable. I didn't realize how big he had gotten till I looked back and compare him to the way he looks today. Must have been because I saw him on a regular basis so it didn't make as much of an impact on me. Now he is a lady killer with an ego to match.

Then I have my soon to be 19 year old who acts way to grown up for his age. He is smart and we have taught him well I just hope that the lessons continue to keep him safe. With the alcohol related deaths on the campuses in NYS making the news most every day it just sends chills down my spine. He did some image changes yesterday himself with a hair cut now if I could only convince him to trim the damn beard so he didn't look like the drummer from a heavy metal band we would be all set. We are going to visit him tomorrow to celebrate his birthday because I cant wait till next weekend when he comes home for a week. I figure they will be off living their own lives celebrating birthdays with out me soon enough I am going to hang on to what I can for as long as I can.

Dave had a meeting after work today to find out his fate at the hospital. 20 people lost their jobs and he got a 3% pay cut. Sucks but at least he still has a job. It was a nerve racking 2 hours waiting for him to call me and let me know he still had a job. But a big relief when he did. I am trying to pick up as many hours as I can get at my new job but lord only knows how long that is going to last. To much uncertainty gives one sleepless nights and ulcer.

I am hoping this warm weather sticks around. It was a mood lifter to be able to go without a coat to work today. And the sun even made an appearance for a short while this afternoon. Sunday brings in longer lit days which also is a big boost to my moods.

well I am off to bed to get well rested for my trip tomorrow to visit the birthday boy.

stay safe, stay warm, feel loved.
