Makeup Junkies baby boy is 16, and driving........WHAAAAAA!

So moms out there who have their first born, their only son....16 and driving.....is my world coming apart?????  OMG what is wrong with me!!!!  Tears and tears.....and MORE tears....like my cute little Asian nail girl told me.....YOU BIG BABY!  And I am, I don't deny it, but my goodness, one day you are holding them on your lap while  projectile vomit comes spewing  and you think....oh my sweet Lord, I can't wait until this phase is over.....then the next phase of terrible two's hit and you are pulling your hair out chasing them to the moon and back, then their first day of kindergarten comes and you think their on their way down the aisle.  Lord, if I could have just ONE DAY of those times back, I would give it all.

Pulling into his spot at school

Today my son, my precious boy got his license, he's officially behind the wheel of a big ole jacked up truck, new toolbox and all.  Does he know the endless worry that lies ahead, does he know that every time I hear the sound of sirens going off out here in the country.....my heart will stop, does he know the hours of sleep his dad and I will lose, does he know that our grip on him is slightly loosening and we have to put our full faith and trust in God that He will  protect him each and every day and bring him home safely?  How do you trust that this 16 year old all country boy, won't do something completely stupid to be funny and impress the "boys"?  All that rings in my ear is him saying to his buddy in the passenger seat...."Hold my Gatorade....I gotta try this!" This is a whole new realm of places and feelings and worries that I knew one day would come, but now they are here, and  I'm officially freaking out!!!  Maybe I'm a control freak and didn't even realize it.........nah, that CANT be it!!
