My friend

I have been away from my blog for some time now. I'm pretty sure that I have no more followers that check my site. That is OK. This is for me.

I have a friend who is gravely ill from a operation. I miss her dearly. We didn't see each other as often as we would have liked but when we did, we enjoyed each others company. She is an amazing friend. The kind you didn't see for months and call out of the blue to tell everything too. Her last message to me was, "miss you baby girl" GOD I miss her!

It is coming up on 6 months since she has uttered a word, seen her son, kissed her husband, hugged her parents, or spoke to friends. I cannot imagine what she is going through. I just wish she would give us a sign that she is still in there. Punch a doctor, smack a nurse, kick a resident, steal her room mates food. ANYTHING! But alas we see no change. Her husband struggles with the delicate balance of knowing he is doing everything possible to try to help her while still respecting her wishes. He is unbelievably strong. He works, visits her and still takes care of their 5 year old son.

No one can help, no one has miracles in their pockets to give away. It has been 6 long months and I don't know what is taking our miracle so long. I will just keep praying and wishing.

New Mommy Parties!

I just signed up to do Mommy parties, we loved the ZUng Zhu pets. Next up is www.schleich-s.com. Kids animal figures. More later!

High School

Its hard on kids to enter High School. I knew that, What I didn't know was that it's hard on parents too!

The fine line we walk as parents has too many twists and turns, your bound to fall off once in a while. Its how you pick yourself back up and start walking again, that is the true test.

Freshman

I am having a tough time dealing with my freshamn. I hope I am doing things right. She hates me so I guess thats a good start.

Its not raining

I cant believe it! It has been so wet around here and now it is very warm and sunny today! Just busy reading up on all my blogs. Have a great day!

8th Grade Graduation & Semi-Formal

That's it! No more Jr. High. I am being a stupid head about it too! I should be happy that I have a smart, beautiful, happy, healthy daughter. Instead I am wallowing in self pity because my daughter is growing up. I should be happy. I should be happy. I should be happy. I am telling my self this over and over.

I am happy that she is turning out so well.

She is a great kid.

At 13 there is no reprogramming her if I made a mistake. Nothing can change the way I have raised her. What if I screwed up? What if I forgot to tell her something and now that she is going to be in high school we all know she isn't going to listen to me. What if I missed my window to give her advice?

Lots of what ifs.....

I may not be cool in her eyes anymore
I may not be smart in her eyes anymore
BUT I am the one who loves her with all my heart and soul! I pray to God that she can see that. My baby girl I love you!!!

Love,
Mommy

PS I truly missed my parents last night. They would have been so VERY proud of their Katie. So so VERY PROUD!
