Me to Shadow this morning after he woke up to get ready for school (both of us sleepy and groggy in the hallway):
"You can't shower and you have to pee outside. Happy Birthday."
So the Man-Cub is 16 today. We have no water, but we have a plumber on the way. I missed class and I'm late for work. Shadow's home, as well, because me and Shaun were up all night vacuuming and cleaning so I know he didn't sleep well. Not to mention that I'm pretty sure it's torture to send a 16 year old anywhere without a shower. 😂
Shadow has hung in there with me through 16 years of me never quite having my shit together as much as I'd like. And he's ALWAYS been a good sport about it. I knew I was a lucky mom before he was even born. When he got here he was the happiest, cutest, goofiest baby, and he's still happy, cute, and goofy - just not so little anymore. He's 100% been the best surprise of my life and from pregnancy through watching him grow up - definitely the most interesting thing to ever happen to me. Life as a young single mom with a kid hasn't always been easy, but every minute has been WORTH IT.
Thanks for being awesome, kid. I love you all the way. ❤
