I am made for summer. I am a skinny minnie and that layer of fat I am missing does not do well by me in the winter months. I will spend the next several months in hibernation. Luckily, Arkansas does have some warm days sprinkled in during October, November and December, but come January I am hidden until at least April.
My second transition is my son turns 18 today. He is my oldest, but still my baby. I have mixed feelings about this one. I am proud of the man he is becoming, but sad that I am losing my baby. I still think of him as the little boy in the red footie pajamas helping me make cookies. I am trying, little by little to let him go, because he will graduate in May and in August, I will be sending him off to college. He is an amazing kid. He is always making me and others around him laugh. He is a fantastic older brother, smart, driven and all around amazing. I am not biased at all, of course. Just ask those who are around him. They will back me up. So, Happy Birthday, Jake! I love with you with all my heart and I am very proud of you.
