Where does the Time Go?

It is truly hard for me to believe this child is having her 16th birthday on Thursday. I, like all mom's, remember when she entered this world. She was in such a hurry, the nurse in the OB room almost had to catch her as they were setting me up to the monitors.

Now we are thinking about the colleges she will apply to, taking the ACT and SAT tests, drivers training, ordering her varsity coat and last night we wrote the deposit check for her class ring. Junior year is as costly as Senior year.

Could someone please make time stop. I have already told her I am not one of those mom's that can't wait until she is going to college. I will be the mom that is a basket case when she is gone.
