Again, not much different here. We've ruled out acupuncture as an alternative treatment because she feels so bad for so long afterward. She's looking forward to the new Star Wars and I want her feeling well enough to go.
My son, wonder of wonders, is taking the bus to school now. As glad as I am not to have to drive in the morning and as big a step for independence this is, I miss our morning drive. I miss doing our thing where we each say something good about ourselves and something we are looking forward to in our day. I miss his endless prattle about his current obsession.
My older one is doing well, thank heavens. She is gearing up to graduate high school - who would have thought I could get her there? - and like her sister is driving me nuts about the new Star Wars film. The girls are going to be uber-nerds, dress up in costume and wait in line for the first showing in Hollywood. I'm nervous about this.
Heh - had to add "uber-nerds" to the old spell checker. What a guffaw. Had to add "heh", too. Did I put the comma in the right place there, or anywhere else? I hate commas. Fucking punctuation.
I'm considering a tattoo, but have no real idea which one or why, except that I'm old enough to do what I want and feel a burning need to re-connect with the stupidity and impulsivity of my youth. Oldest girl's burning need to brand herself as self expression of cool and rebellion reminds me I have no brains. My middle girl, in an almost related development, thinks shaving head will be good therapy for her. Says it symbolizes shedding the old pain and moving on. I told her she had to sleep on it and if she still wants to do it, go for it. I think she'll hate it, but it makes good psyche sense to me.
