timer lady
Queen of Hearts
catch us by surprise. 
I'm so very proud of kt lately. As a blooming young lady, she is definitely giving us a run for our money I'll give you that. The ups & downs; the little girl days & the typical teen days (did you hear that? typical teen). I had to point that out to husband yesterday. That kt is being a typical teenage girl, with all the dramas, mood swings & need for hugs from daddy. In the meantime, husband is losing his everloving mind. I feel sorry for him lately - I get over it quickly.
After school yesterday kt asked if we could talk - she had planned out her future & wanted to talk about it with husband & myself.
She's decided that she will need day treatment until the end of sophomore year (day treatment currently has her placed in 8th grade); at that point she wants to finish out the last 2 years of school in a mainstream setting.
"Mom, I started my first 2 school years in mainstream - I want to finish in mainstream. If I don't work toward this I'm going to regret it"
Really didn't know what to say to my baby (?) girl/budding young woman.
I don't know what today or tomorrow may bring, but I sure enjoyed that conversation last night & recorded it in my kt journal.

She is certainly showing signs of maturity, even for a typical teen, not to mention a difficult child!!!
That's a jewel of a moment, for sure! Hope she's able to reach her goal -- it's really great that she's able to think about her future and is willing to muster up the self-motivation to get where she wants to be.
As for the other typical teen stuff as others have said it truly is never boring-I love WFEN's choice of icons!!
