Hello Again!

Mother now of boy "8" and girl "almost 13." I thought it would be horrible the "almost 13" but it is really not so bad. It's the 8 that may kill me.

Sleepless, 4:29 am

So many thoughts whirling in my head, things to be written down, and many chores to be done. Why did God give me a sudden burst of energy at 3 am? That is just not right!

Embarrassing Mom

I have now become the "embarrassing mom" to my daughter. She does not like it when I sing or dance in front of her friends and has asked me to refrain from doing it. I admit that I am sad, and feeling a little rejected. She used to like when I would sing and dance ... when she was five. I guess at 12 she does not think it is so cool anymore. I can't grab her butt and give it a pinch either, that is definitely not cool.

Oh, but she would like a red highlight "just one, pleassseeeee!" in her hair, now that would be cool!

Hey girl, your Mom is not ready for that kind of cool.
