Life's Milestones

Winnie: How was your PG 13 weekend?

Barbie: no complaints. Good bonding time with my kids.

Winnie: so you'll be all rested up for next weekend?

Barbie: yep!

Winnie: gooooooooddddyyyyy

Winnie: I had some weird moments yesterday. I was helping C pack for college

Winnie: we were going through some of his stuff, he found his souvenir box with all his kindergarten art work and report cards....wow

Winnie: was pretty nostalgic since he's old enough now to appreciate it and realized he's starting a new chapter in his life...but you'd be proud of me...i didn't cry

Barbie: aww.....life's milestones.

Winnie: yes it is

Barbie: I bet you never thought you would see the day...

Winnie: for a short time no...but I am very proud of him for sure

Barbie: every year around this time you realize how fast life zings by....the kids, a grade older. It just really makes you stop and think.

Winnie: but why does life seam to stand still for us grown ups....its only during these moments that we get a wake up slap lol

Barbie: I think probably because we don't have the milestones we used to in school. Each grade that goes by makes you realize..wow! I'm a year more advanced, but besides our birthdays and the birth of our children, we don't have as many milestones to count.

Winnie: so true...

Winnie: its ok...i still feel 28 :)

Barbie: funny, I just said that to someone the other day....I really feel like I'm still 28....sometimes younger inside!

Winnie: well my dear you don't look a day over 27, so don't worry about it

Barbie: lol, thanks. I'm not so worried to be honest....

Winnie: well you were the other day when you found THAT grey hair!

Barbie: I'm good with it now...lol

Winnie: ya that's cuz you yanked it out

Winnie: out of sigh...out of mind

Barbie: lol!

Barbie: ya well, I figure that if I only found my first grey hair at my age, I'm doing alright.

Winnie: geeee thanks....i found my first one at 21

Barbie: most people do....but then again my hair is light so it is less noticeable.

Winnie: that's just because you've been in denial. "If I don't look for it, how can I find it?"

Barbie: oh...I've been looking....just hadn't found any up until now...

Barbie: but I'm cool with it.

Barbie: Actually, although I like my hot little bod at 25, I really like my frame of mind more as I get older. I'm more confident and I think that is sexy too...

Winnie: ps....you are sexy baby!! (wink wink)

Barbie: lol, thanks!

Winnie: anytime

Barbie: If I would have my body in my early twenties with my confidence in my thirties....uh, oh...look out. lol

Winnie: poor men, you didn't make them suffer enough in high school lol

Barbie: ha, ha...what?...lol, ok, I did a little.
