Progress Of Sorts

I did all of my push ups yesterday (Day 2) and even though they were very hard at the time, my arms are less sore than my knees today. (Key piece of information: I am doing the "modified" push ups for our push up challenge.)

Also? Our oldest is turning 18 today! Eighteen! We've only gotten to have him live with us full-time for the past year and he's still in school - so it's not like we're pushing him out of the nest any time soon. Still. Eighteen. It's a big deal!

Eighteen. I'll probably cry when Son turns Eighteen. And cry double hard when Daughter turns Eighteen.

good job with the pushups. many times i've been tempted to switch to modified ones, but i'm sticking with the 'boy' ones even though my progress is slow...

18! I think I would be freaking out when my little one hits that age.

Great job with the pushups. I still don't know how people do push ups ouch.

18 is a big milestone! happy birthday to him.
i think i choose the regular pushups because the modifieds hurt my knobby knees.

18 is huge! I still remember. They start becoming real adults only it takes a few years. Not overnight like one might assume (Me)..congrats..

Great job on the push-ups! You a total stud. Can you call a girl a stud?? Hmmm.

18!?!?!? Aaahhhhh don't want to think about that. It's a HUGE deal! You've raised a wonderful child and gotten him to adulthood. Congrats to you for being a wonderful mother.

Pushups is one of those things I don't even want to start because of how far I have to go!

It's okay I'm still in my two weeks of rest. Lol.

P.S. Just a reminder I've moved my blog back to Blogger. Change your subscription in your reader and (if you don't mind) the link on your sidebar so you don't miss anything riveting (rofl). :-)

Happy Birthday to your son!! Our oldest just turned 18 in September...seems crazy.

Way to go with the pushups. My progress is so slow with the "real" ones, so I do some "modified" ones too at the end just so I feel like I'm actually getting some numbers done!
