It is 8 days into the month

ALREADY

and I feel no sense of accomplishment.

I dreaded the big tasks ahead of me today.

I am a "new to this stage of life" mom,

who only just realized

that my child will soon be leaving.

I spend some days

happy in the fact that she is a strong person

who learned from the lessons life threw at her

and has come out the other end of her teenage life

the better for everything she has dealt with.

I spend some days

worried about her career choice

worried about her safety

and the world she will live in.

I spend some days

wondering if I did everything I could/should have

to make sure she was ready

for life on this planet

or if I sheltered her too much.

Other days

I just wonder ....

how I will convert her bedroom into a scrapbook room!

I was busy all day,

although a lot of what I did was monotonous.

but

it WAS coffee Wednesday 

and we had a lovely time

chatting, gossiping and making plans.

That was only till noon,

then it was to work for me.

I had Disney reservations to make, bills to pay,

items to receive from ebay,

a kitchen to clean, scrapbooking to put away,

and a crop to work on!

I had plenty of help 

from the online group to get me going,

and push me through when I wanted to stop.

I am quite happy with the results.

I started by not wanting to get up

and finished with a successful day.

Can't beat that!

Good night from John Street.
