Have You Hugged Your Kid Today?

May 11th was the last post I did before running head long into my 18 year old’s issues.  Now what issues might those have been to keep me away from my bloggy for so long you may ask.  Oh let me tell you.

James is leaving for the USMC Boot Camp on June 15th.  Just a few weeks from now.  That is – as long as he gets his high school diploma.  Why would this be an issue I can hear you ask.

HE DIDN’T DO EVERYTHING HE WAS SUPPOSED TO!

.. ahem ..

Pardon the out burst.

So, until yesterday at 6:00 PM my handsome young man has not had much sleep.  His assignments – all of them – were due today.  Which, btw, he did get all of it done.

But WHY wait I ask you.  Why until the last momento?!

Stress your mother out!  I am stressed beyond belief that little booger!

He’ll be graduating per the teacher.  He called the SSgt to let him know all is good.

Ahhh….

Now, more stress – my son is leaving to the USMC Boot Camp!  Oh why why why do they grow up anyway?

Thanks for all the comments…I’ll be blog hopping as soon as I catch up on my sleep.

He’s not a Marine yet… they aren’t one until they graduate from Boot Camp.  Meanwhile… I’ll be a momma realizing the nest is getting a bit thin.

Hugs to everyone.  I have so much to tell you but my eyes are really tired!

Hugs hugs hugs

  • I can’t say I know how you’re feeling. Thankfully I don’t need to worry about anything like this for another 9 years. I’m halfway there, hopefully the second half won’t go by so quickly.

    I wish your son the best of luck!

    • Thanks Penny. I truly thought we’d be past all of this – all of this hurry up and then “oops” not done. But nooooo. ;)

      hugs!

  • Best of luck to your son!

    How exciting for James! Wish him luck from me please! :) I used to be like him with regard to assignments and always left it to the last moment. I guess my mom got used to it. I’m moving countries by the end of next week and guess what… ;) I’ve only started packing a few boxes today *LOL* I hope you caught up on sleep my friend :) Hugs!

    • I’m finally gonna catch up tonight and tomorrow morn I hope I hope!!!

      I’ll tell Jim you wish him the best of luck! He’s leaving actually on the 12th as he has to stay at the location before ship out for a few days. Argh!

  • Oh don’t you just love it. I was silly enough to think things would be easier when they got older HA! You’re going to miss your son. It’s tough getting used to, I had one move out this year too. And I do hug them both every chance I get.

    • Diane – I did think it would get easier. I really did! But alas… ;)

      I’m so very proud of him. We are just on a count down now… and I don’t even know how I”m gonna feel when he leaves. argh

  • I remember when I left for boot camp, it was the first time I ever flew on a plane, the first time I was ever away from my family, and I entered a whole new world. Enjoy your time with him and he will make you proud, he will make us all proud!! It will be a change, but the letters are wonderful!! I hope he writes to you a lot!!!

  • Are you kidding me? I wouldn’t want to miss a day without hugging my son and my baby girl.

  • Of course, I hug them 3 times a day.
