My 16yr old son and his girlfriend just left in a limosine for the jr/sr prom. They looked so handsome and beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. I can't believe my little boy with the blond tossle of hair and beautiful blue eyes is off to a magical evening with his beautiful girlfriend. I feel so old......

My 18 year old was off to her senior prom tonight as well. She looked like a little princess- she is teeny tiny! But nothing makes me feel older than being a grandma at the ripe old age of 44! Mackenzie was born on May 12th this year by my oldest daughter- age 20. She is beautiful!

Awww! I'm sorry girls, they grow up so fast, don't they?

And you are NOT old! I'm just 4 years behind you two and my kids are 5 and 2, so you very well could be in MY shoes!

I know what you mean though...it's so sweet to see them all dressed up acting like little men and ladies. These are memories they will cheish for years. Hope you took pictures!!!

Hey, Nurse, congrats on your granddaughter! Great news!!!

Holy cow, I am 46 with an 8 year old....you think you feel old??!!!

Margo

I'm 45 with 19 & 21 year old sons both at college. Had to get a little dog when they both left. Makes me feel like the little old lonesome lady talking to my dog!

Hopefull and Nurse4126...

So, how were the proms? Did they have fun? What time did they get in? Did you age another 5 years while they were gone?! hehe Let us know how it went!!

Kathy....Thanks for asking....Ben had a good time with his girfriend. They, in my very biased opinion were the most handsome and beautiful couple there!!! He is only a sophmore...Bailey(girlfriend) is a junior. They have been dating almost 2 years. They are a cute couple. I sincerley hope neither is devistated by an inevitable breakup. I wish he would have met this girl 5 or 6 years from now as she is a really nice person. I will have to invest in scanner soon. I would love to post the pix and will soon have to post before and after pix of me!

I'm righ there with you guys about feeling old!!!

My oldest son will graduate on Friday!!! I remember when I graduated from high school and my mom WAS old!!! ( she was 41 and I am 40--But I SWEAR she was old and I'm not) haha

This year my Spudboy will be taking not one girl to the prom, but two girls. The second girl is his girlfriend's best friend, and she really wanted to go. Neither girl goes to his school, but that isn't going to stop them. Last year, he went to prom with two different friends, a boy and a girl.

Spudboy graduates high school in a couple of weeks, so he will be getting his AA degree the same year I get my BBA...

I don't really recall thinking that my parents were old when I was Spud's age. But then, I'd been getting stoned with my mother since I was 15 years old. I had friends whos parents were in their 60's when I was in high school, and I felt they were old....

I always feel old, I am only 33 years old, but I feel so damn old. Three little kids will do it everytime. This week has been so busy, with year end graduations and all. My four year old graduated Tuesday morning from K3, so she is moving on to K4, my nine year old passed the fourth grade and had her year end program Tues night and she is headed to fifth grade. She got a trophy for A-B honor roll all year and got a ribbon for A in bible all year long. She is really smart, did really good all year. Hope she stays that way. She says she is going to be an attorney when she grows up. And everytime she complains of having to fold and put away laundry I tell her, well honey, if you do grow up and become an attorney, you can pay someone to come do your laundry for you, right??? Lord knows, I wish I could afford to pay someone to come do my laundry... But about the feeling old, I do feel really old, always tired, back is always aching, oh I'm so old.
