Sixteen Candles

Today is Jake's big 16. He's been such a good kid this year that I dare to mention just how good. Sure, he still leaves his boxer shorts in the bathroom after he showers and he sneaks to get on the phone w/ his girlfriend at night and he has black hair hiding his beautiful blue peepers, but this kid is genuinely nice. Tomorrow he's going w/ Becky and Aaron to see My Chemical Romance. He's tickled to death that he gets to go. I'm tickled to death that he's going...uhh, not that I want to get rid of him. I do think it's pretty cool that my friends are fond enough of him to take him along. THANKS!

Pretty much everything I've learned in the 16 years I've had Jake can be said for turning 40. I've learned that things I think are huge at the moment usually just pass and do not mark the end of the world. I know that I have to be ever diligent with my kids balanced with showing patience and kindness...it's a hard mix. I hope I get it right one day. I've also learned that boxer shorts on the bathroom floor are just a sign that a teenager lives there, but it'll never stop me from bitching about it. There are some things in life I refuse to change.

Jake's a doll. We're more than happy to take him to rock shows with us.
