Nerves of Steel

Today I watched my 16 yr. old baby drive away....alone! Yes, alone. Without adult supervision. Scary, huh? It's hard to let your little one go. Then tonight at the high school was a college information night. It was a double whammy for me. Not only was I slowly cutting the cord but soon enough my boy could be living in another state and I will have to learn to cope with his and my growing pains. While graduation seems so far away it really isn't. In just 13 short months I will be the proud mommy of a high school graduate. While he hasn't really decided what he official plans are I am hoping for college. He seems to still be holding out for the Coast Guard. ROTC at a four year school sounds like a great compromise to me. Doesn't it?
