I’m actually writing before midnight! Miracles do happen 😘  Seriously, starting to write at 11:00 is early for me. I don’t know why I always write late at night, but I almost always do so. Strange, because I used to be a bit of an early bird. Well, maybe not really early, but I’d usually be in bed around now, not just beginning to write! I’m glad it’s early because I’m super tired! It’s my youngest daughter’s birthday today. I can’t believe she’s 14!!! ❤️Happy Birthday my sweet! I love you so very very much❤️It’s such a strange thing, age. I feel like, “hey! When did you grow up so much!?” I love the conversations that you can have with your kids once they get older. They have opinions and insights. You can stop watching only animated stuff, or at least you no longer have to wait until they’re in bed before watching certain tv shows. Having teens is so different than little ones. Although, we do have our 6 year old. He’s got a while before we get that way with him. Well, actually, we talk to all of our kids in the same manner, for the most part anyway. We were never big on “baby-talk”, if you know what I mean. Nope. Even when they were little, we tried not to baby our kids too much. I’m not talking about love, we love our children dearly, I’m talking about doing everything for them and talking to them like they’re perpetually 2 years old. Kids aren’t going to learn to do anything on their own if they’re treated that way forever. I find myself saying to my kids, fairly often, “I’m your mom, not your slave!” I’m probably not alone in that regard. If my kids had it their way, I’d wait on them hand and foot…forget that! (What a weird expression…hand and foot…did I even use it correctly??) So, for my daughter’s birthday we went school supply shopping. Fun fun! Talk about leaving it to the last minute! We didn’t yet know what school our youngest daughter would be attending and August just seemed to fly by. So, just in time, we got the shopping finished this afternoon. I actually went into Chapters without buying something for myself!! That is nothing short of a miracle!! Book stores are my weakness. I could happily live in a book store!! Especially in one of those huge Chapters stores!! I just love them. I could just touch books and look at books and read books all day long! Wow! My brain is all over tonight. I’m feeling super tired, even though it’s fairly early for me. I’m not used to getting up early, but I had to today. So I keep practically falling asleep while writing. Which is probably why I’m jumping all over the place and talks about a bunch of different things. So sorry. I need some sleep though, so I’m going to hit the hay!! Goodnight 😴
