Amanda and Steven graduated today. Jennell's is next Friday night. So amazing! All of my kids, now, safely graduated from high school! Not that I can take too much credit...sometimes they did it in spite of their childhoods!

I spent the afternoon on the verge, and sometimes on the brink, and sometimes nearly slipped over the edge, of crying. I'm not sure why.

Their childhoods are officially over. I am officially finished being a Mom in the old sense of it. I'll never stop being their Mom, of course. But, officially, no more school, no more snow days, no more ranting about homework. Ever. Wow.

And while it defies usefulness, I missed Miah today. He was here for Jessica's graduation. He was here for Kate's graduation. He spent the most time with Steven and Amanda, and he missed it.

I spent the afternoon up at the park at the family picnic, snuggling with Atreyu. That experience was part of the treasure that was today. We have a little Nanna/Trey thing goin' on, and it makes me giggle to hear him giggle.

Well, my bedmates call. All those books, loyal and ever-present. Heh. While my windchimes sing me sweetly to dreamtime...

I am currently: waaaaay too sleepy to be awake!
