BD has not been much of a hugger since she was a little girl. Most of the hugs I get from her are a) requested and b) one-armed.
She is getting ready to go on a long field trip for school and wanted to download some songs for her iPod last night so she could listen [...]
HS has now officially finished his Masters degree in English. It seems like those two years flew by!
BD is about to finish middle school. It seems like the two years of 7th and 8th grades have lasted forever.
Is this some kind of temporal anomaly? (For those of you who aren’t Star Trek fans, you can [...]
I was 9. I believe Mr. B might have been 10. HS only made it to age 7.
BD doubled her brother’s record, and managed to reach the ripe old age of 14.
However, she has now joined the rest of the family with her very own eyeglasses.
BD looks great in her cool frames (two pairs, thanks [...]

The problem with being the blogging mother of a 14 year old girl is that she provides so much great material that she doesn’t want me to share.

I just got an announcement from BD’s school that there will be an 8th (grade) parent meeting later this month.

BD overslept today. By the time I realized it, she only had 15 minutes to get ready.
It took her 20, despite the fact I told her she could get breakfast at school.
“I’ll miss the bus!” she whined. “Why can’t you drive me to school? It’s snowing, and my hair will get wet and look awful.”
“Have [...]

How on earth did my baby girl get to be 14?

BD: I didn’t get a “Needs to be less social” comment in math this grading period.
Me: That’s good!
BD: I got it in art instead.

I dropped BD off at school earlier this evening to watch a game. Mr. B had insisted she wear her winter coat, as it is very cold out (I was too busy insisting that she take off most of the black eyeliner she had on). As she hopped out of the car in front of [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, Mr. B was my first and only boyfriend. I met him when I was 23.
At a recent middle school football game, BD walked by a group of football moms and some waved at her.
“This is embarrassing,” she muttered. “I’ve gone out* with all of their sons.”
