Growing up is really really scary!

You know how when you always think "I can't wait to grow up!" well pace yourself, it comes at you quickly! I have been getting all my graduation announcements together and thinking "Oh my goodness, I am moving out soon.." I am excited but extremely scared..I have to take care of myself now, no more mommy and daddy. I have to pay for everything, gas, food, clothes, makeup, doctors appointments, and soon even my medicine! So before you guys snap at your parents and say "That's not fair!", or "Why can't I have that?!" be greatful that they are taking care of you and buying you things you need to live or just for plain fun. Trust me you will see all that they have done for you and realize how lucky you were to have such amazing parents! So use your time with your guardians wisely, make the most of it! Also make more time for your siblings, I know I know, they are complete monsters, but seriously you will miss them when you go off to college or move out! So become friends with them, I'm not saying get along with them 24/7 cause I know thats impossible but try to get along as much as you posssibly can. Enjoy being a kid, life will come at you fast!

I can't tell you how much it means to hear a soon-to-be adult say those things. Sometimes I wonder how long it will take before my kids understand some of those things. I know they understand a lot because of the great things that Ben and Rachelle do with them and their money. The girls already have to pay for anything that is extra. They both are making good money babysitting and so they are expected even at their age to contribute financially to their own lives. Another reason why they have to do that though is take clothes for an example, every time someone buys them clothes they end up not wearing them and the money that was spent is a complete waste! Well I am not wasting my hard earned money, so now they have to buy most of their own clothes! I hope that is a lesson learned. So anyway, thanks for your comments. I know that your mom and dad probably loved reading it.
