Daughter starts high school today. Like all teenagers she enjoys rolling her eyes, wearing whatever clothes/makeup/jewelry will give her father the most fits, dyeing her hair weird colors and most importantly, sleeping until after lunchtime. I laughed myself silly when I got the letter from the school district that said her bus would pick her up at 6:38 in the morning. School starts at 7:20 so it could be worse but she didn't see it that way. Getting up at o'dark thirty is a fate worse than death as far as she's concerned. I didn't have much sympathy, I've wasted years of my life trying to drag her ass out of bed so this is sweet revenge.
Hmmm, daughter at 7 and she's in bed reading. Not much has changed. It's not just her as a teenager, she's always been a night-owl that likes to sleep in until I'm having a cow because she's still in bed and it's WHAT TIME?!?!?!
And here she is this weekend in Chelan. Thinking she's all that and a bag of chips 'cause she's going into high school. Brat.
Now I'm going to go cry myself back to sleep. (I don't have to go to school at 7:20 in the morning, why should I lose my beauty sleep?) She's ready for high school but I'm not.
Have fun baby, I love you.
OMG--high school? I don't even want to think about that! Talk about crying! Can you imagine the day they go off to college? No, me either.

It's amazing how fast they grow, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteMy son wakes up at 2:00 or 3:00 pm on non-school days, so I can relate.
Six thirty eight a.m.in Seattle? Ohhhhhhhhhh, that is such a depressing thought. Nobody deserves that. Or do they?
