Being the Cool Mom

The fun I had with the girls and their friends during the sleepover on Friday night. Giggling with all the girls. The other girls thinking I'm "the cool mom". Kelsey's friends loving her room and the creativity of it. Taylor having a friend who loves sugar as much as she does.
We ate dinner at Applebees, got a free appetiser and a free dinner, dinner for 5 with two appetisers for under $30 smackers!

Smores in the microwave (it was raining so no bonfire)

Playing cards with my sisters and Jessica on Saturday.

Knowing that Lisa's coughing will stop and her healing will come quick.

Knowing that the money for Tracie's speeding ticket :) will flow easily into her life from out of no where. And that she understands that this is a WARNING for her to slow down! A wise woman once told me I don't have the right to drive fast anymore--Tracie, you have a child.

Spending a night with E on the river laughing, playing, on our own time. Leaving in the morning with no attachments, feeling respected, fulfilled and happy to be on my own.

Working with the girls to get the house cleaned up today and ready for the coming week.

Thinking about Jones and the fantastic experience she will have this summer in the state that I love.

Anticipating a visit from my brother in law this week, knowing that he and I always have fun together and connect on levels I never thought possible when he was a bratty ten year old :)

Getting some exercise in today.

Not feeling so lonely anymore, when did that happen? It's awesome being able to be in the house without calling people or going shopping or making plans to leave.

Understanding more and more what taking care of me means. Loving myself enough to treat my body with respect.

RAIN yeah, everything smells lovely and I love the green. The lushness reminds me of Washington.

School's almost out!!! Looking forward to france park with all the kids and jessica.

That my girls have known for years that they are expected to go to college. I believe in having expectations for our children so that they have something to reach for.

That good things will come to the people I love.
