In my case, it's my youngest, and though we've now been through other, bigger promotions (high school graduation and college graduation)with his older brothers, this 5th grade promotion was bittersweet as it ended our 18th and final consecutive year with the elementary school. : - 0 My boys are all 5-1/2 years apart (6 years apart in school), so they were never in the same school together. As soon as one started 6th grade and middle school, the next one started kindergarten. Next year my middle son will graduate from high school, and *that* will be very emotional for me. But this final 5th grade promotion got me blinking to stop the tears when the 80-something 5th graders marched in to "Pomp and Circumstance." May all our kids do well, be happy and be safe in middle school! Oh, Tara, we had an emotional fifth grade promotion ceremony here, too.

I love seeing your pictures and how you capture family, love and togetherness. And, I too don't understand how one minute your baby is crawling and trying to walk and the next thing you know they are off to middle school. Hang in there. From your blog, I can tell you are a strong person and can get through anything. So keep on keepin on! And thanks for all of the inspiration. Tara,

Anyway our theory is now we're thru the toddler years our bod's are falling to bits because finally they can... (and our brains are all fuzzy- it's fuzzy mummy syndrome and it needs treating with lots of cafe time...). But I hope your migraines get better/fixed soon, that must be shattering... Your DH reads your blog! mine doesn't (luckily!). It's not the same as superglue, but there is a massive gecko here that is very attracted to my macbook pro and its big beautiful glowy 17" screen. It sneaks across the ceiling about 9pm each night and pees or poops down on it! Now you would THINK I would remember to close it and watch out more often than I do wouldn't you? Never mind, no permanent damage... yet...
