My kid is getting OLD

Today has had it's ups and downs FOR SURE! I woke up and within 5 minutes I knocked my phone off the bathroom counter and even though it landed on it's back the glass totally shattered! Gorilla glass my gorilla ass. After that devastating turn of events I went to work where I spend an hour doing a riveting training program about workplace harassment. Super fun. I also trained a newish cashier for an hour, which was actually fun, not sarcastic fun, I like that part of my job almost the most. Go figure, since I was going to become a consultant/trainer before working at BN. AND, I cleaned the accounting office and made it more my own and organized. I am sure the other folks who use it will be confused for a day or 2, but they will live! I like it way more this way, and really, that is the most important thing. But, onto why you are reading this, LIAM!!!! As you will remember from 45 seconds ago, my phone screen broke into a zillion shards and spiderwebs this morning. Good old Apple requires appointments to do anything, and those appointments are done, you guessed it, on line. Well, my means of onlinedness were hampered, but the phone still worked, so I called Liam for help. Turns out I called the right person because he googled genius bar, found the Barton Creek location, and made me an online appointment! Just like a grown up growny pants. After that I picked him up so he could take a trip to the mall with me, and he asked if we could buy him a wallet. Gasp! A wallet, for his money, and his discount cards, and all his other, I am not a baby things. A wallet so he can go out with his friends or cousins and pay for things. A wallet just like I have, or you probably have! We struck out at the mall and went to Game Over Videogames to find one. In the parking lot there I went to get his hand becuase a car was coming, but he pulled his not so little hand away. He didn't say anything, ut it was clear he was too big. Too big to hold my hand, big enough to have things to put in a wallet and make genius reservations for me while home ALONE (with an adult next door who happens to be his uncle and 2 dogs in the room with him, but still.) When did this happen? It was a big day for me! I am not sure Liam understood the bigness, but one day maybe he will have his own little guy turn big overnight. My own mom never got over the "I'm too big to hold your hand" day and forced it, well, to this very day. But I am as OK with it as I can be. He's growing up. It's why we have kids, right? So one day they will go into the world, armed with wallets and the ability to make reservations to fix things. It's just startling when it happens all in one day!
