The girl I have raised, is amazing. Sure I have raised her alone for 18 years, but I'm not quite sure I can take complete credit for her amazingness. I think that it's a mixture of nature and nurture, I think she simply has this incredible personality and was born that way.
She is well loved by many. Very popular at school, but not a cheerleading type popular. She wins awards for having the best personality, most spirited and other things.
She just is what she is and I am proud of her. Yes, in many ways she is like me and in the way of this story, she is most definetly like me.
She came home, excited one day to tell me that she had asked this guy that I'd heard about for a few weeks now, to the prom and he said yes. I hadn't met him but told her I would like to meet him before prom, for various reasons of course, but I did have one main agenda, to let him know MY rules for the prom. No after prom parties, no hotel rooms and I told her that I would entertain a limo ride down the strip after the prom.
On saturday we went and got her prom dress. On Saturday evening, she texted this "guy" and I use the word loosely and asked if he would like to hang out. I find out the next morning when she came in crying to me, that he had texted her back (though I think it was a girl that did it) "Don't text me again, I have a girlfriend". Ohh... I was pissed. That mother bear came out of me and I wanted to go run him over in the parking lot of the market he works at. HOW DARE HE DO THAT TO MY CHILD.
I held her till she could breathe. I told her that he was the asshole and that this was not a reflection on the person she is. She looked at me and said she didn't want to go to the prom. I told her that she should think about it before making that decision and she told me she would. I asked her what she did in response to the text message...
"I deleted it, then I deleted his number from my phone". Ha. She is so like me. Then she looked at me and asked me what I thought about her going to the prom without a date.
"I think that you should go" I told her, "Hold your head up high, with the grace and dignity you possess, go with your friends, dance, enjoy yourself and show him and everyone else that you are better than he is".
She is still going. I may have to take her and pick her up, which is fine. And I may have to have another pep talk with her and that too is fine, but she was all smiles today when we were at new dudes house and she was telling him exactly what she wanted done with her hair. She is at the mall right now picking out shoes for her dress. She is on spring break right now, so hasn't had to face him yet, but she has this week to get passed it. I've asked her if she has spoken to him and she says no and that she has no intention in speaking to him. I'm fairly certain she will stick to her guns. Like me, she is not one to stick around if someone doesn't want her around, a lesson that took me to my late 20's early 30's to learn and she is 18 and has learned this, amazing!
I think he was a coward in the way it was done and he should hope that he never comes face to face with me, as I will tell him what a coward he is. And I think she is the greatest kid in the world and have let her know each day.
How would you have handled it if you were in her place, what about mine if you were in my place? Seriously..

Chillax...
Yeah, I got suckered into buying it and then suckered into watching it last night..
What's it?
Twilight. Bah.
The girl has seen it 19 million times but wanted to lay in my bed and watch it with me, than got up and said I'm tired there's about 15 minutes left to watch, goodnight..
WTF??
I didn't want to see it in the first place, but I can't pass up the opportunity to cuddle with my girl, something that happens rarely now that she is older. So, I did it and then ended up watching the end of it by myself!
The movie was awful. The acting sucked, the plot was bad... it just sucked all the way around, but maybe cause I'm an adult and not some hysterical girl who thinks that "Edward" is cute. Ick.
Still not feeling like myself. I'm beginning to think that this is the new normal for me. I don't hold food down well, if at all. I'm always cold, which new dude says is probably because I never eat, though I do eat, just not very much at all. My voice is all raspy and horsey with a cough that won't go away. I have very little energy to do much, my house is a mess and I'm totally disgusted with it. I take a ton of vitamins so one would think that I would have at least some energy. I've fallen behind in my email replies and feel like shit about that. I've just found 2 new/old friends (one I've written about, the other found me today)which is exciting, but I just don't seem to have the energy to catch up like I should especially with these two, both women and both who mean a lot to me.
I promised myself that I would close my eyes and try to sleep early last night and all of the sudden it was 3am and I didn't know what happened, only that I still had my eyes open and was wide awake. Up at 8am this morning, to take the girl to new dudes house, so he could cut her hair and do a trial mock up hair do for her prom (which reminds me, I must tell you about her prom "date" or the lack of one now and yes, new dude cuts hair, but doesn't have a license here in NV - he worked under Paul Mitchell for 8 years I think). I told the girl on the way to his house to watch him, cause new dude does a lot of sighing and ohhhh and ummm and stuff.. and it makes me laugh all the time. Then she cracked us both up cause she said, OMG my mother is hanging out with you too much because she sounds like that EVERY MORNING NOW and it makes me crazy! I guess in the mornings I've picked up this bad habit from him (though he does it all day and night) with the sighing and the uhhh and the ahhh and heavy breathing. I've caught myself doing it a few times since we got back home today, which is making me laugh and annoyed at myself all at the same time, but at least I realize I am doing it now so am working on NOT doing it, cause really - it's annoying when he does it constantly.
Ok, nap time. I know I shouldn't take a nap, but I'm so freaking tired my eyes are rolling in the back of my head. I plan on cleaning house tomorrow (key word, "plan", who knows if it will happen) I really want to go to the Mountain on Thursday, sit and "chillax", take some pictures and breathe some fresh air.. so many things I want to do and no energy to do it. Am going to talk to the doctor next time I go in for a weigh in. See if there is a vitamin I am not taking that may help me out... I take so many, including Prenatal ones since they are good for you, I can't imagine that I am missing any. I'll probably get harrassed about not eating 3 meals a day. I'm lucky if I eat one a day and keep it down.. I'm just not hungry, even though I know I should try to eat 3 small meals a day, just tired of throwing up all the time.
Peace.
