Jun. 17, 2008 - Demoted

My oldest daughter has taken the summer off from college. She'll be going on a missions trip soon and she had to have her wisdom teeth removed, so taking off the summer seemed like a good idea.

But lately she's been really busy with singing and we all go as a family to support her.

So yesterday I said to the 12-yr old; "Do you ever feel like a tag-along? 'Cause I sure do these days."
"Oh yeah.", was her very dry response.
"But I'm usually stuck driving", I said.
She responded, "But at least you have rank. I'm just the backseat kid!".
I laughed so hard.
And when I told Guy about it, he said; "Tell her that's where the Generals ride."

So now I've lost all my rank.

Father's Day she sang at the opening of a cowboy church, so click if you want to tap your toes... (Hey! It IS a cowboy church!)

As the driver of the general, I'm sure you can still appreciate great talent like that especially when you gave birth to it AND the higher ranking officials ;-)

Thanks for sharing!

and acapella to boot. What a talent.

As far as losing rank, I think Mom out ranks any General anytime. LOL

Very nicely done! And yes, you've been reduced in rank to "driver," until the "General" in the back seat tellls you to pull into Dairy Queen, and then she'll see how much pull the "General" really has!

Wonderful! I have to say I used to kind of dread singing familiar songs acapella in little country churches because people ALWAYS sang along and they were almost ALWAYS off-key, which would inevitably throw me off, if I could hear them. Your daughter handled it beautifully! Bravo!

LOL at "that's where the generals ride" - I will have to remember that for my kids that fight because no one wants the back seat! As long as they don't think they can give me orders as a result... ;~)

Blessings,
Kym

Wow! She's got some talent!! And from what I hear, we moms are supposed to be in the backseat for, oh...18 years or so?? That's what I've heard anyway. I try not to believe it. Here's hoping you get some time up front soon!! :-)

Hit me? For that cheeky little comment? She has to catch me, first. She can waddle as fast as she can, but that ain't gonna happen! :o)

Thanks for sharing the video! My daughter loves going to cowboy church when she goes to rodeo with her friend.

Thanks for visiting my blog and for your sweet comments.

Yes, evaluations are a little nerve wracking because you have someone judging you and what you do, but we have a great evaluator so I don't know why it always makes me nervous! You wouldn't think that it would be that way after 15 years of homeschooling...haha...
