I can definitely relate......... my son starts high school on Monday. I'm not taking it very well at all. Last night after band practice a (gasp!) Senior invited him to go to Dairy Queen with a few people, so like a dork I just waltz up in there and get my ice cream and sit down with them and a hush comes over the crowd. Then I realize it's because a MOM is there. Gone are the days when I can hang out with his friends, I guess. I politely excused myself to run next door to the store and then called him and told him I was back and sitting outside when he was ready. I felt so pathetic! LOL
My daughter is starting second grade, so I've still got a while to go with her... God help me when she goes off to the big, bad high school! I'm so glad furbabies don't grow up and lose their need for you.....
