7th GRADE

OMG 7th grade? How is that possible? Isn't Zachary like 4? Well, to me he will always be 4.

But even if he's not really 4, I just cant believe he is in 7th grade! 7th grade for me, was a life changing year. Its where I met most of the friends I had all the way through high school and beyond and I first learned about cliques, Its when I started using make up. Its where I got my first pair of "hightops" (yes, I did wear them, I admit it was a fashion fopah), 7th grade is when I used a curling iron and cared about my appearance for the first time, owned my first pair of stretch jeans (bought from Dots, they were a size 18 I was a size 12, but I convinced my dad that they fit, swore I would wear a belt, and I absolutely HAD to have them. I was already babysitting, and staying home alone for long periods of time. I barely let Zachary stay home for more than an hour! Im not ready for high tops and curling irons! Ok so maybe we can skip the curling iron, and we can replace the hightops with $100 Michael Jordan basketball sneaks. But its all the same. When I think back to that time period, I feel like it was the start of my really growing up. I feel like I was much more mature then than Zachary is now. But in fact, its just the opposite. Im just having a hard time accepting him growing up so fast! Sniffle sniffle....
