Transcript

Time needs to slow down. Hoco Dance tonight. I'm a mama to two high school girls. Their youngest girl is a junior. One's a freshman. The junior has been dating her boyfriend for a long time and he is the best. And those two have decided, we're not going to Homecoming. We'll do prom. Homecoming? No, we're not going to Homecoming. We're just gonna go out to dinner and a movie. I guess what, I will send you money for that because now I don't have to do the hair, the nails, the makeup, the shoes. Done. So that's what they're doing tonight. And the youngest baby child is a freshman and she got invited to Homecoming in the cutest, most sweetest way ever. So cute. And her friend, they're just friends. They're not dating. They're not dating. Um, they're so cute together. If she was a boy, this was actually what her name was gonna be. Can't talk too much because her friends watch my TikToks and they tell on me. But I will say she looks beautiful. I will probably not be able to post a picture because I am always informed if I try to post a picture, I get told, you don't have my permission to post. I can respect that. Anyway, so we are about to go drive her down to go get photos and then they're gonna go to dinner and then they're gonna go into the Homecoming dance. It's crazy. The baby is a freshman. We got four more years of this. Two kids out of the house, two left. And I really do need time to slow down. Two kids out of the house, two left. And I really do need time to slow down.
