sometimes the road seems so long.....

yeah, i know.... where's the sunshine in that?!? but really, it's the truth... sometimes. 
and sometimes i wonder where all the time went. how did louie suddenly get so tall!! when did that back-talk start exactly? hmmm. i know i've been here the whole time, and then i remember, oh yeah, single mom-dom. i feel like i am pushing so hard, running all over the place to cover all the details, fearing ever dropping the ball, that i look up and he's changed so much in just a few days, and...... (gasp) i missed it. 
i guess it's normal. he's 7, a second grader, kids change so much at this age. recently i've been reaching back to my 7 year old, 2nd grader memories and i remember everything just pissing me right off. i felt like a big kid, in my book i was a big kid. that's were the back-talking started. i was so frustrated. so i'm trying to remember that. trying.....

ha!!!!!!
so my back up plan is enrolling him in martial arts, starting classes tomorrow....

Martial Arts sounds like a great idea! I look up to you so much Jamie :-) I always believe that men raised by single mamas turn out to be great men and they ALWAYS love their mamas! So hang in there you're doing great!
