All at once!

Day one after middle school graduation. It's confirmed: we have a full fledged teenager. He's testing the waters. He's out with six neighborhood friends, running around the neighborhood at 10pm, not listening, not calling home, and not feeling he has to.

Really feeling great this week. Spent time with friends celebrating a bat mitzvah. I'm feeling young and skinny(!!). Got a new dress for the occasion, and felt really great in it. Didn't even wear hose. (I know, I'm at LEAST a decade behind the trend. Nobody ever called me a fashionista.) I also felt amazing pride getting honored at the services. Really happy.
