Graduation and life in general

I have so many thoughts swirling around always in my head that sometimes it makes me dizzy......grins. 
My youngest daughter will be graduating in May and it is starting to hit me that we will soon be done raising our kids and what they do from that moment on is by their choice, not ours. 
I like to think we taught Tina and Brenda good work ethics.  They are both good employees and I have never heard a bad word about either one in the area.  Might be because I'm their mom, but I don't think that is the case.
I worry that we taught them to be a little too independent.  Did I show them I loved them enough?  My big thing for both girls was to have good grades and if they worked, to be proud of the job they do.

My boss told me that you teach people how to treat you.  So, being my quick thinking self........grins, I told him, and I quote, "So I must of taught you well then because you are one of the best bosses I have ever had.  He laughed.  He has a great sense of humor as do both of my bosses.  I do enjoy working for both of them and they treat me well.
Anyway, back to the teaching people how to treat you.  I do believe there is some truth in that, don't you?  I mean if you come across with confidence, you probably won't get teased or bullied when you are younger or older for that matter.  If you are nice to people you are teaching them to return that niceness back to you.  If you are rude, it makes the person want to be rude back.  It makes alot of sense doesn't it?

Back to the graduation.  I need to finish up the senior books for the seniors that I do every year.  I started in Tina's grade.........yes, your grade Kurt, and I think I might be done this year.  It is getting to be so busy for me with everything, I find I don't have the time or energy anymore.  I love the kids at our school the same, it's just that I don't have the time to show them like I did before.  I used to put birthday cards in their lockers on their birthdays, I used to have a trivia question every day and the winner would get a treat.........stuff like that I miss doing.  Maybe I should try and talk someone else in to doing it, right?.......smiles.

Brenda is going to go to school to be a lawyer.  Hopefully I won't need one in my lifetime, but then again you never know........smiles.  She is going to UND and is very excited to start her new life.  I think she will find it hard to leave us, but she will do fine as did Tina when she left.
Well, time for bed so going to sign off for now.
Until next time,
Cindy
