We'll the fourteen hour days have begun again and I haven't even returned back to work full-time yet!!
Sometimes I still find myself starting to "whine" - the whole working single parent with brilliant, beautiful and BUSY teenaged kids...........
This morning I started to have one of those moments............then caught myself and thought, "I'm blessed for two"!!!!
It was the night before the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL and a 16yr young daughter remarked rather loudly (so's her 12yr old sis could easily hear), "Mom, I just wanna tell you what I'm wearing to school tomorrow so you can tell A.........."
The twelve year old 7th grader jumped in, "Mom, I'm wearing my pink polo shirt with jeans!!"
Her comment was met with an almost blood curdling scream or something resembling one.........."NO!!! I'm wearing MY pink polo shirt with jeans.....SHE CAN'T"
I laugh again............these drama queen moments of little or no significance, just a thang between sisters.
Today, we're at the bank (yes our bank is open on Sunday)
The young man behind the desk commented, "Is it grey T-shirt day?" we looked at one another, surprise and shock.........ALL THREE OF US had put on grey T-shirts!!!!! We each feigned embarrassment then went on our way.
In the check-out line at the grocery store a bit later, the man behind us in line asked if there were a special occasion for the grey T-shirts...........................
We really do have fun together!
I'm back to work part-time and moving and the girls are back to school and my computer isn't hooked up at the new apartment yet. I'll be back with more postings SOON -- well, even then it will have to wait until after the state affordable housing conference in Orlando!
