So I was told that my last blog was in March and that it was unacceptable. Well, it's not like I didn't think about blogging, I just had nothing to say, way too much going on and too tired to put fingers to keyboard about it.
Today is Prom, such a little word for such a huge deal. Drama, pathos, intrigue, all before 6pm. I am utterly exhausted and broke and it's barely 7pm. There are girls that are truly grateful for the lengths I've gone to help them pull this all off. The girls are gorgeous, simply and fabulously divine in their prom splendor.
Jo has been so composed during the whole process. No drama or even a slight hint of ungratefulness has been directed my way. In fact, she has been so adult about the whole thing, and let me tell you there was plenty of drama before the prom (what ensues during is yet to be seen or retold), that I am immensely proud of her.
She was simply breath-taking in her dress, she is a beautiful girl and tonight she looked every ounce of a beautiful woman. Her choice of dress, hair, and accessories was spot on.
Next week she graduates on Friday, how the time has flown. I still see the cute little imp with the massive purple glasses and the winsome smile underneath all that gorgeous amazonion womanhood. She constantly amazes me with her prolonged moments of being an adult and it also makes me a little sad too. Soon my baby, my last baby will be a full fledged student at SDSU and step through the gateway and on the road to leaving her childhood far behind.
I'll miss the little girl and teen that she was and look forward to the woman she will be with a bittersweet lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.
