Better with a Friend

Happy Friday!!  Today Stacy has challenged us to distress.  I really don't distress a lot, but I do love the look of it, and add so much texture to your card.  For Stacy's tutorial head on over to the Flourishes Newsletter.

So yesterday, I took my daughter to her 8th grade orientation, basically she got her schedule and found her classes.  We home schooled our children last year, so she has missed most of the Jr. High drama, so I am freaking out a little bit, I don't think she is ready for the "mean girls".  Kendall is the sweetest girl, very studious, polite, kind and still says, "yes ma'am & yes sir".  Sometimes I can't believe I have raised such a wonderful person.  

Both of my children start school on Monday, and with my hubby gone, I don't have anyone to go out to breakfast with that morning.  I have had a tradition since my daughter was in Kindergarten, I drop her off at school on the first day of school and then go to breakfast with a friend or my husband.  This is the first year ever in 9 years I will have no-one to go to breakfast or coffee with...I know isn't that depressing.  I still have a few days find any takers lol, if not I will just stay home and call someone to pout lol.  Did I mention my husband is in the Bahamas...so not fair (he is working, not pleasure, but still).  So I made this card, because the sentiment rings true with me.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
