So my daughter is coming HOME today! I was laying in bed last night feeling like I should have a baby shower or something, she is after all my first baby! Only I don't need a stroller or binkies... I need home decor re-organization and LOTS of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups! (A Xanax or two for Mommy would be cool too... but I've been off the happy pills for a while so my cupboard is barren of any anti-anxiety tic-tacs).
I want to tell everyone I know how proud I am of my daughter! As a 14 year old young lady that's has been through an incredible amount of "stuff", and overcome some pretty ugly personal struggles... she left my "controlling" environment and went to live with her dad ~ where there was no supervision at all. Where most kids would have taken advantage of that and ran WILD! She chose only good and healthy things for herself. She could have had done whatever she wished living in an environment of zero moral accountability, and she came out of that environment with a pure heart and a pure body! Since she was born I have been amazed at her strength... and I always knew in my heart she could use that strength for her advantage! She's amazing!!!
I look forward to her coming home today... glad too this won't include poopy diapers... AndyMan has that covered just fine!!! I think as long as I keep her busy learning and stay well stocked with "middles" ~(she LOVES Peanut Butter Cups and she eats around the edges of each one and stacks up the middles and eats those last) this will be a great journey until the time comes for her to leave the nest for real. :(
WELCOME HOME KRISTEN!!!
Love, Mommy
