Graduation 2007

Awwwwwww...How bittersweet this has to be for you! My little boy will be going into third grade in the fall, and I can come to tears remembering HIM in kindergarten. You just can't hold onto it, can you? Congratulations...I'll send you a few snot rags!

Yeah, my last kid in school!! After 6/11, I will never have to worry about the Public School schedule ever again!!

Boo-YA!! You can party!! LOL

And now I am officially an old fart....Senior Ball is next weekend. Pray for me...........

LOL..don't forget to blue rinse your hair..

LOL - congrats to the graduate! My oldest is already out of school, middle child is 3 yrs off from graduation (if he keeps his stuff straight, which some days gives me gray hair!), and the youngest will be another 10 years. :roll:

Yeah, I need my cats eye glasses to go with it!!

don't forget your sweater, it might get chilly later.

Yes, dearie :lol: And it will get cold, it's outdoors in our concert venue at night! You have to dodge the birds and the bird poop!!

KS, Get ready for a good boo-hoo on graduation day. Went that route last year. Just wait till you pack her off to college your house will feel like a tomb. Things get better and you do get used to it. I'll be thinking of you. KYSIDE38

I know this is about a high school graduation, but my babies graduated from kindergarten last night. They wore actual caps and gowns and received a diploma just like the high schoolers. They even got a little ring that has 2007 on it. I cried my eyes out. Now I will have kids in 4th, 6th and 1st grade. And my oldest will be a teenager next Monday. Where does the time go?

I don't know, finally...I don't know...

OK, Forgive me Community, but Blake or Jordan????

Ok, Graduation gowns came in today and my kid just had to model hers, sniff...

KS ~ I know how you feel about graduation. I actually have 2, per say. My son graduates high school and my daughter graduates from middle school to high school! The closer the time gets the more weepy I get. When I got his cap and gown pictures I just cried, but I have cried all year! His last marching band performance, his last concert, just everything! I know before I turn around my daughter will be graduating and then what am I going to do with myself when I do not have all the running to do? Ugh, getting teary eyed right now! :cry:

I know what you mean--and today is Senior Cutday!! I actually called the school for my kid--and told her she owed me BIG!!!!!

Oh Ks I know just how you feel - my babies are graduating on 6/7 and I have been crying for the past month! Then off to college in August! Oh geez - here I go again the tears just won't stop. I remember when they were babies and it was just yesterday - wasn't it?

I know....remember the Lion King backpacks? My kid had one which she would not let go of!

For him it was he-man training pants and transformers; for her it was pink flowered bloomers (spam fileer won't let me say p!@ties) and any life like baby doll! I still have her favorite baby and his favorite trandsformer! I am a horrible pack rat!

I remember He-Man!!!!!!!! I also thought my kid was going to join the Barney Army. They were the first generation to get into that cult, er, show...

OMG! That show was forbidden in this house, but the twins did love the Elephant show! Once in a while they still sing the "Skinnymarink" song!

Oh you guys..There is nothing on this earth better than being a mom, is there? It's what I live and would die for.

My son loved the Transformers, Ninja Turtles, and Power Rangers. My son use to say he was the Red Ranger all the time and I remember getting him all the power ranger toys. He also use to be a big Sesame Street fan and use to sing "Doing the Pigeon" with Burt.

My daughter also loved Barney. She has always been into her Barbies and he baby dolls, but she also was a bit of a tom boy and loved the mud! She also love to sneak out the door to her swing sets and swing in the nude. I always tease her about being "Lady Godiva".

Yes, being a mom is the best job in the world and also one of the toughest.

Amen!! And Irish, for my daughter's 4th birthday, she got tickets to the Sharon and Bram show at our concert venue!!

What happened to Lois?

Forgot about her, lol!!

I know how you feel, KS. My son is graduating this year, too. They get their caps and gowns on the 1st and graduate on the 5th. He was going to go away to college but decided to go to the community college here for a year and then go to Toledo, so at least I'll still have him here for another year. Another of my sons will be graduating next year, and my youngest is going to be starting high school next year. It just doesn't seem possible. I'm like you, Znband, wondering what I'll do once they've all graduated. It just went too fast.

OK, the butterflies, the knots in the throat, the stress, the panic, etc is setting in here. One week from tomorrow my son graduates!!!! Last night was his last band concert at school and I bawled like a baby! I just can't believe it. My baby boy is definitly not a baby any more. I am doing a DVD for him for graduation/18th birthday (he turns 18 on the 7th and graduates on the 8th), and that was so hard to do. Going through pictures of him from the time he was a baby and having to narrow it down to 60, had to have my daughter help me. But the DVD is being put to the songs "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart and "2 Steps Behind" by Def Leppard. Can't wait to see it.

Oh, and my daughter graduates middle school the same day and will be a freshman next year! Oh the tears!

GOD BLESS ALL GREAT MOTHERS OF debt consolidation CARE FORUM.

Thanks Tania!

My girl got her bachelor's on Mother's Day. All I kept playing back was all those precious times. There's a commercial on for rice krispies and a little blond girl is listening to the cereal and she reminds me so much of my daughter,I cry like a fool then too. My son too is in college. It sounds wierd, but they grew up and I feel left behind. I think it's cuz we spend so much of our lives caring for them and before you know it they are on their own lives, and we are sitting here going huh? So I will cry with you.....BAWL!!!

OK Dalfire - you got me! I have been crying now for the last week - I can't even look at caps and gowns on tv. I feel like a blithering idiot! And the kids think that it is hysterical - they keep laughing at me!
