Growing up too soon.

So my 7 year old daughter told her daddy the other day that she had a boyfriend and that he told her he had never kissed anyone before. Thus the spart that started the whole conversation about 7 year olds not being allowed to kiss and you had to be at LEAST 18 before you could. She seemed ok with that.

This morning, while waiting at the bus stop, one of the moms mentioned that her daughter told her last night about someone in the class, "I think it was your daughter" she said pointing at me, kissed a boy on the cheek yesterday on the playground. WHAT!!! After the talk we had.

I immediately called my daughter over and inquired as to the truth of this story. She didn't deny it at all but looked up to me almost smirking and confirmed it. Little Snot! I wanted to laugh so hard, and I think I actually did a little. But then I had to explain it to her again and remind her that 7 year olds are NOT allowed to kiss, even if it is on the cheek.

My head is still swirling an hour later. Oh the things I will most likely have to deal with in the future. A very non-enthusiastic "Yipee" is all I have to say.

Sunshine, Finally!

Today is beautiful. No jackets needed. Even considered shorts, but all of ours are in storage at the moment. So we headed out to get some much needed groceries and were right next to the ever ellusive Wal-Mart so we got the kids some short-sleeved shirts. They had a blast picking out their own shirts. Cost a little more than hubby expected but it would have cost MUCH more if we were anywhere else.
Now for the parents to get some new clothes.

Stretch....

I made a wonderful realization last night as I was partaking in a Yoga class. I have been going to the class for about a month now twice a week. I realized that I could once again hold the sole of my foot in my hand and straighten my knee without pain. Yipee! Small achievement for some but wonderful for me. I am so enthused. I had always been able to do this and meagerly tried to get back to it over the last 10 years or so (since kids) with no luck. I was not persistent enough and would make excuses. I am glad that I have made it a point to go twice a week now. I think what really encourages me is the fact that I have had surgery on both heels now and keeping the muscles stretched out is the best way to keep my foot working. I have noticed a big difference. I surprise myself each week as I learn that I can do more and more (sometimes better than others who are are smaller than me in class). Can't wait to see what else I discover.
