Quite definitely.
(taking a bow)
I gave the PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR yesterday as I held my breath and rifled through the newly arrived pile of mail – my 17 year old son eagerly looking on – to find the one piece of correspondence I SO hoped wouldn’t have arrived yet.
It was his Driver’s Ed Certificate that he needed in order to get his driver’s permit from the DMV.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
(excuse me, couldn’t be helped)
Is this really happening already? Last I checked, he was still in diapers.
It was that slow-motion uneasy moment where I think many mommies of a teenager who can now legally drive try to restrain their true emotions of worry and instead choose to be thrilled with their child and excitedly start to plan the next steps.
(one sec, I need to go hyperventilate)
It seems like this time in a teenager’s life goes by so fast – really fast – like, blink of an eye fast – as in, I wouldn’t be surprised if I woke up tomorrow and had to get ready to attend my grandchild’s college graduation type of fast!
In the meantime, I will enjoy every moment of my younger 13 year old goofing around during homework and pretending to teach hubby the basics of fractions and decimals.
Because if I blink again, he too will be eagerly waiting for the mailman to arrive.
