Here are some pretty Easter flowers I took at the grocery store recently.
It's been a rough couple of days. My son K was involved in a minor fender bender just exiting a major highway. Fortunately no injuries but he was going to see his new girlfriend without telling me because he knew I would say no. Suffice to say, we took away his cell phone, internet access and driving privileges for the time being. Luckily not much damage to the other car, but our bumper will be thousands to repair although it doesn't look too bad. He's almost 17 and it's a difficult age, transitioning to adult. He wants more freedom but even at 18 they are hardly prepared to support themselves.
I was a bit disappointed as we were planning to see L on Good Friday. But she will be spending Easter meeting her new boyfriend's family. I'm excited for her, but it's a bit painful to watch your kids growing up so fast. We haven't seen her for the past couple of months. However, she'll be home for the summer in a couple of weeks anyway. I will save her Easter chocolates I guess. And we've been busy so it will be nice to have a quiet day.
And there will be an extended family gathering for Easter Sunday.

Beautiful!
Yeah, I have had trouble with my daughters when they were teenagers. I am glad the older one is married and settled. Now that she has 2 kids of her own, she knows how hard it was to raise her.
True, kids grow up soooooooooo fast, I can hardly believe my daughter has just turned 46!! Sorry about the accident with your son, difficut age indeed! Have a lovely Easter! Valerie
Oh Christine I feel for you and understand. It's hard for boys I think. And one thing is that your daughter will always be close to you. It is exciting for her but hard to accept she is growing. I find it hard to accept your kids are that old now and I have only been reading your blog for a few years. Lovely flowers. I bought some today myself.
It does sound like you've had a rough couple of days Christine.
Sorry to hear you won't be seeing your daughter over Easter.
When I was their age I didn't think much about my parents missing me if I wasn't at certain occasions.....
Be well my friend
Hugs

I remember the first holiday (which happened to be Easter) the entire family wasn't together; it WAS sad. Now we've had several, and I've become resigned to it.
Will K be paying to have the bumper repaired?
Christine, my son's gonna turn 21 in few days. I can understand your feelings. He's just dislocated his knee after going on a school trip and dancing in the bus!! Gotta learn to bend with the wind , I guess.
Ah teenagers,I do remember those days and am happy they are gone.
I feel so blessed they made it through without serious issues they deal with today.
Happy Easter with hugs
Oh Christine - I can relate!! my daughter just past her driving test and I"m worried sick!! It seems that being a parent is the hardest job - worry or fury!!

Beautiful flowers!
Kids they grow up so fast. My daughter will turn 24 this summer and my son is 20. So sorry to hear about the accident :( Have a lovely Easter! Eva
thanks for your supportive comments everyone, so appreciated!
Kathy, K has neither job nor money to pay for repairs. It turns out our insurance will have to cover it.
