Day 8

First lunches...then I have to talk about the boyfriend. (Lauren's, not mine...LOL) I found mini pitas at the grocery store and thought Mc might like them so we tried them and SHE LOVES THEM! I stuffed them with tuna salad. I have never met a kid that loves tuna as much as Mc! Also in her bento she has raspberry jello, a babybel, montery jack cheese and a fruit salad with grapes, blackberries, raspberries, and a clementine. The containers are a Target dollar spot find. They are 2.50 each and come with a water bottle too! They have girl themed and boy themed so you might want to check it out:) Sorry the pic is so bad. I took it was an afterthought...

Now to my mommy rant for the day. Davy was at work so I ws just going to drop Lauren off at church b/c the teen service is on Wednesday. On the way there I told her that the little girls and I were going to Target and that I would pick her up after church. Then is happened. She shot me the biggest puppy dog eyes ever and asked if she could just go to Target too. This is going to cost me money, I thought. Then she told me that Jerahmy was at there with his mom and that would be a great time to meet her. Who is Jerahmy you might ask...her boyfriend who is in high school! UGH! Ok, well he's only a year older than her and they were on the tennis team together so it's not really that bad BUT he had facial hair over the summer! When did my little girl get old enough to have a boyfriend with the ability to grow stubble? Anyways, I met him and his mom. He is not anything like I imagined. I couldn't really remember him from tennis so all I had to go on was his FB pic with a skinny mustache. See the hair thing is really messing with me. It kinda makes me want to cry. Not sure why but it does. His stepmom was nice and seemed to be taking all this teen romance stuff in stride. We said goodbye and they gave each other a kinda side hug and walked away. Oh BTW they only talk on the phone and on FB. That's as far as this relationship has gotten. Although Lauren keeps mentioning that she would really like to go to a movie with him. I'm ok with it as long as a parent is there too. Maybe this is all bothering me that she is the same age I was when I met her father who I dated for 8 years, was married to for 8 years, and it all crashed and burned. Just don't want her to follow in my footsteps. I know that I am projecting myself into her situation and I need to stop. She's a beautiful girl and I am sure he is just one in a long line of boyfriends I have to endure. Did I mention having a teenager is tough?????
