HAPPY BIRTHDAY my sweet daughter, today you are officially a teenager.

Melissa has had a group of friends over for a sleepover birthday party, watching videos, playing PS2 Games, singstar, lots of nawtee food,and just doing things 13 year old girls like to do, gossip, giggle a lot, text, and play loud music.

I am still sane so far, but the weekend is not over yet, hubby and I were banned to the upstairs area, it was nice to have some alone time together watching the telly last night.,we also a one kitty in each room, they were happy to get away from all the noise and people as well.

Time is going fast, my little girl is a growing up so quickly.

Gee, I remember 13....so long ago. Happy Birthday to your daughter. Now the fun stuff starts....you know, dating.....

Melissa...dating rule #1. Make sure he has a job.
Dating rule #2. Make sure he has a car.
Dating rule #3. Make sure he's got money to pay for the first date.
Dating rule #4. Make sure he comes up to the house to pick you up as opposed to staying in the car and honking.

Sorry Carole, couldn't help myself. It's the same stuff I told to my nieces when they turned 13..

Happy Birthday, Melissa!!!!

Carole, it's not so bad. At least it hasn't been for me.

My "baby" is starting high school tomorrow. I can't believe it!!!!!!

She is 14 (15 in January). She is thrilled. I'm a bit nervous, but will survive!

Hope you and hubby enjoyed being banished to the upstairs! LOL!!

Happy 13th Birthday, Melissa!

Remember, you deserve THE WORLD. Don't let ANYONE (boys or girls) make you believe you deserve less in their treatment of you.

Hugs,
Kelly

Happy Birthday.

**carole** · 08-22-2005, 04:16 PM

jksacha thank you for the lovely pic of a birthday cake, it is awesome, Logan I think we get more worried about the new things in their lives than they do, Melissa starts High School next year, and it will be a whole new ball game, and I will be just as nervous for her if not more, Melissa will be going to my old High School, which is a Girls school only, mainly because we have no choice as we are zoned for there only, still it is a good school and I am happy that she will be there.

I just cannot believe how fast the time is going, soon Logan we will be saying they are leaving school and off to University.

Happy 13!!! I recall I spent my 13th B-day in front of my Sega blasting music....

and ten years later I'm sitting in front of my X box blasting music hehe. Starting the "teen" years is kinda scary, but fun at the same time, for both the teen and the parents!
