Free Free....set them free...
I'm trying to sing that song over and over in my head...."if you love someone, set them free". Jonathan left today for his 2 day trip to Sea World....without me. Its bittersweet....I'm happy for him and all the fun he'll have and the memories he'll always have from this trip. But I'm sad that he's old enough to go without me! That can only mean one thing...he's growing up.
I think he is actually older than I give him credit for. As Randy said tonight, "I coddle him". And I do....he's my first born and I know I do it but I can't help it. I want the best for him. I want to protect him. I don't want him to get hurt. I want him to be safe. All things that we wish for our children but somehow I can't figure out how to do that without "coddling" him.
While I believe that he is an "old soul", I also think sometimes he wants to stay "young" in my eyes. Maybe he does it because he's scared of what lies ahead. Or maybe he does it just so that I feel like I'm still needed. He is so smart and listens to what everyone says around him. He notices everything and takes everything to heart.
I guess I just miss him a lot and want him to come home! Though we fight and don't seem to get along all the time, he means the world to me and I can't imagine life without him and tonight I am reminded of this more than ever!

Best Mother's day Dinner EVER!
On this Moather's day, Randy was on his way home from a road trip and I didn't want to make dinner....but low and behold- I have 3 amazing children who wanted to take care of that for me! They made me go in my room for hours! So I did as I was told and enjoyed my time alone!
When I came out they had done it all! They made a sign for their restaurant, 3J's, made menus, dressed up to be the waiters and chef, and were ready to make a delicious dinner! Though my options were limited (see menu) they worked hard to make it themselves! Love my boys JJJR!
