Wisdom

Last night, The Bird had some insight for me:
If you watch what goes on with The Real Housewives of New Jersey, 
it will make you feel so much better about yourself. 
 
Thank you, Baby Bird.

Oh, and by the way, she also wanted me to know that two months from today,
 she will be in college.
gah

She will be in a most wonderful place. I'm so glad for her as she proceeds to her next adventure in life. You are so blessed, MP!

You give them roots, but you teach them to fly as well...

What an exciting time for Bird!

You'll be great...!

New adventures! Now we know how our mothers felt.

She is one smart little cookie! And hilarious too!

She is gonna look so good in Orange and Blue! Take lots of pics while you are here and have a great time.

Those house wives anywhere have nothing compared to you!

Unknown said...

Your kids are beyond good looking! That's a pretty insightful observation she made!

I'm with Flea! GAH!

Keetha said...

She'll have a blast and you'll have a blast visiting her.

I've never watched any of those Real Housewives shows. I'm too wrapped up in The Next Food Network Star. :-)

noble pig said...

Oh I bet she is counting down the days, it is the most exciting time of her life.

I Am Woody said...

Maybe that's the draw of most of the reality shows...

TexasRed said...

How exciting!

She's right -- I feel positively well-adjusted after watching some episodes of reality tv. (Of course, I feel like a slacker after watching "Deadliest Catch.")

Daryl said...

Ah the only pat and slap done with extreme love ... so are you bringing us all mugs back from the student union so we can all sip out sweet tea vodka/lemonade a la Kate?

Sassy said...

Do you have $120,000 between your boobs? Can I get a loan....hahahaha JK....You have taught her well and she will be fine...you can do this my friend...it IS hard...but you will see just how strong you are and see how strong she is....in two months yours will leave and in two months my son who has been gone two years will be H O M E!!!!!! hugs....

Nancy said...

Ahhh that bitter/sweet summer before college. I remember it well.

I haven't watched much of the New Jersey Housewives - the New York ones did me in for a while.

She's smart like her mama!
You will survive this you know.

mom x 2 said...

Those housewives are insane. The Bird makes a very good point. I do feel much better. Hmph and BHE and The Salesman thought I was high maintenance! They just don't know ;)

I'm still working on that time slower downer too, just so you know. When I get it all perfected, I will be sure to share it with you. :)

Out of the mouths of Cavaliers...

p.s. I admit a morbid curiosity to the NJ show, but I can only stomach about 2 minutes before I realize how (a) fake the whole show is and (b) even more fake those sad women are, in every sense of the word.

Mary said...

Awww, she is so beautiful! My daughter is going to DC for a 10-day conference in July, and I'm already freaking out about it... Don't know what I'll do next year. ;)
xoxo,

Debbie said...

You have one beautiful little baby bird to be so very proud of! She is going to be just fine.

Her mama? Jury is still out. ((Hugs))
