On the heels of being really ill as well. I had some sort of chest cold/flu thing for the last several days... coughing, high fevers, some vomiting, joint pain, chest pain - on top of my chronic pain. Ugh. It has not been fun around our house lately. Just a blur of Lysol, NyQuil, tissues, antibiotics, electric heating blankets, orange juice, chicken noodle soup... you name it.
If the cliche’ image of a sickly person pops up in your head; complete with a cartoon bubble with an insanely big red nose and a thermometer sticking out of their mouths, chances are it has made at least one appearance at our place.
We all had our time with this awful sick big too. It always starts off with our daughter who goes back to school and brings it home and we all shake hands with the mighty big SICK bug.
No fun around here lately. Not at all.
But, we’re all getting a little better... a little. And the antibiotics seem to be working for all of us... so, with the illness of the flu leaving our house;
“Goodbye you evil bastard! Thanks for leaving! And no, we don’t validate parking!”
We now turn our attention to more important things. Things like senior pictures. That’s right. Our daughter has a picture frame that sits in our home- one of those picture frames that has a small photo of the years’ school picture in it. Starts at Kindergarten and ends with 12 th grade (and hopefully for all parties involved, there’s only one picture per school year. )
And the last slot filled was - can you guess?
Yes!
Her junior year was last filled...
tomorrow she is sitting for her senior portraits! How exciting!
In 4-6 weeks time, John and I can sit down and choose one or two exciting photos for her last year of school. We may even do a “baby ad” for her senior year. Lord knows I have a billion and a half baby pictures of our (not so little) little girl.
John is picking her up a bit early and I am going to provide her with a casual top. Her cap and gown portrait will be done as well... and of course a formal picture as well... oh gosh!!! Her senior year!
Our daughter is just growing in wonder!
And our daughter is so amazing too. A bit of time ago, she even stood up for me against something that was said to me and was a bit hasty in what she said, but nonetheless she stood up for me...
I just can’t get over how much time has gone by! I am just so thrilled that her last year of school is happening as I type up this new blogpost...
our little girl is going to be getting a dress this year (a fancy and gorgeous dress) and attending her senior prom. she will also probably skip school in the traditional honor of ‘senior skip day’. she will also be going on her senior class trip. there is just so much to enjoy during ones senior school year.
and my biggest wish is that she does them all and enjoys each and every senior year opportunity.
I look back at my own senior school year and I remember enjoying most of those aforementioned things.
So, as I end blogpost, I will just say that my daughter is going to love her senior year; if I can remember to just chill (for the most part) .
And as I bid you good night and try to get some sleep - despite my incurable and chronic neuropathy pain- I will try to sleep thinking of my daughter and her (hopefully outstanding) amazing senior school year.
