Hyperventilating!!!! Panic Attack!!!!

Cody & Grandma LAST year. And he's even taller now!

I mean, seriously! I woke up this morning, and for some reason with the week looming before me, I started an all out panic attack! As of Thursday, February 28, at 12:30pm, I will have an official 16-Year-Old!!!!

That's right...my sweet, snuggly, giggly little man, the first baby I ever had, will be 16. How did this happen? However it happened, something happened right. He's polite, responsible (more than enough for a 16-year-old!), handsome, TALL, smart. Doing well in school. Doing well in JROTC. And getting better all the time. We won't be doing the driver's license thing just yet because we had to wait so long on his social security card, which I thought I knew where it was and didn't, so his permit has been late. Hopefully soon though!

I'm already a mess. I mean, that's only 2 more years to 18! Only 2 more years til I can't tiptoe up to his room at night and peek in at his sweet little (well, hardly! he's well over 6-foot!) slumbering body and know he's ok. I can't just holler to him from across the house for a hug or a favor or whatever. Only 2 years away!

I got seriously trashed on his 13th birthday. SERIOUSLY! I totally didn't mean to. We're definitely not casual or social drinkers. When asked how often I drink, I mean it's like 3 or 4 drinks per year! But as we sat at Joe's Crab Shack, Michael & I across the table from Cody & Mikey, I started panicking that day that I officially had a teen-ager! I ordered a shaker-ita! With an extra shot! Then, as I downed that as fast as I could, I still couldn't get over that he was getting that big. I mean, yeah, he was taller than me, & yeah, he had a lot of responsibility, but now I could no longer look at him as my baby boy! On that realization, I ordered another shaker-ita, even before the dinner order was taken. There's a funny story in there about me & Michael's salad & some fork thing that I'll never live down. I swear it's not true. Urban legend if you will. Ahem. I wouldn't do that. (insert angelic face here) (also insert 3rd shaker-ita here)

Well. By the time that dessert came, and we sang happy birthday, I had successfully convinced myself that we were "practicing" for when he REALLY turned 13. That must be it. I couldn't walk unassisted when we left, but I was successfully in denial.

The next morning, I decided I'd better start counseling NOW for when they turned 18. For real. I'm totally not even joking. I mean for serious for real.

Somebody lock the liquor cabinet & throw away the key before Thursday is all I'm saying!
