My little girl..............

Some people probably assume that because of some of the things that I write, that I don't embarrass easily. This couldn't be farther from the truth. But for some reason, these things that happen to me, once written, just don't seem as embarrassing as they once did. Maybe I write to be absolved from what has happened. Or maybe for reassurance that I am not the only one that these crazy things happen to. Whatever the answer is, I am more than happy to write about these embarrassing moments, that is my life, just to make you smile. That being said, what was I going to write about today? Oh Yea....................the start of the new school year. My mind seems to be a little scattered these days. I've had all summer to wrap my head around being the mother of a high school student, but for some reason, it's just now hitting me. My little girl...................................my precious, sweet, beautiful, intelligent little girl is going to be a freshman in a few, short days. Where has the time gone? I swear, just last week I brought her home from the hospital. And then, somehow it was all fast forwarded to 14 years old. I wish I could remember every single moment. I have pictures and videos and that's more than I could ever ask for. In many ways, Bailey is the exact same person she's always been. She's quiet, patient(she has her moments) and very loyal. But, when I look at her............................................................this is what I see.
 

My little girl.............not the beautiful, young lady that she is, but my precious little girl who I'll protect until my last breath. Now, don't get me wrong...............I'll be the first to tell you that Bailey has her moments. I know good and well, that if she set her mind to it, she could make a preacher cuss! But, that is what I love about her. Every single thing about her makes me proud. From her dedication to her school work, to her uncoordinated tennis playing. I take it all! I love it all! I love her completely and I'm...................................scared. Not for her(how selfish does that sound?), but for me. What if there are questions I can't answer or simply don't want to answer? What do I do then? I'm a smart girl, I'm a good mother(or I try my hardest to be), but what if I don't know? What do I do then? Look at me getting all mushy. My whole point in writing this blog was to make light of whatever life seems to hand me. I can do this! I will be the best mother of a high school student ever.....................right? I guess the upside to this is that it's sure to make lots of funny things to write about! Wish me luck! I think I'm going to need it!
