difficult child asked if we could get something for her room that she could use to dry her hair and put make on because she only has her bed and some wire racks for clothes. I loaded up my car with a few small things from her room at home and drove to Target by her house and she met me there. We bought a microwave stand for the kitchen and a vanity set for her room. I took her to Wendy's on the way to her apartment.
When we got to her apartment I didn't recognize it. She and her roommate had spent all day yesterday cleaning and I was so impressed with how good it looked. I told her how proud I was of her. We spent the next couple hours putting together the microwave cart and vanity. Both made huge improvements since the microwave was on top of the refrigerator. We moved the microwave, toaster and a few other things to the cart which freed up a lot of counter space. Then we put together the vanity and finally she had a place to put all her toiletries and makeup and a nice place to sit and get ready for work. Her bedroom is really looking nice. She hung a few things on the wall that she brought from home and asked if I would bring her curtains home to wash and help her hang them next time.
Her bedroom is cleaner than it ever was when she lived here.She looked great and was in a very good mood. She is taking an interest in her apartment and says she still loves her job and she is doing well there.
I came home feeling so much better about her living conditions and her taking responsibility seriously. She seems to be maturing quite a bit.
