February 27, 2006

I have been a bit out of the loop lately, haven't I? My February headache has been worse than normal this last week.

My daughter's moods have been up and down this week. Not as drastic and dramatically as before - more like normal teenaged moodswings. I colored my hair (purple & nectarine-y) and she really loves it. She said, "It really makes you look younger, Mom. And you looked pretty young before." That made me smile. The next day, she was all pissy because she could only spend a few hours with her boyfriend instead of every waking breath. Then she was giddy about going to a movie with him, but upset that we had fish for dinner and he doesn't like fish. Gaaah! The nice thing about it all, tho', is that her reactions are normal. She didn't swear or scream or threaten ... she just pouted. That's it.

It's hard to believe that things are finally slowly getting "normal" for both your family and mine.

I am thankful that we have safely made it through this far. I think that each day is still a bit scary as my daughter has good days and bad days but hopefully we will continue to make posititve changes that will make our future better.

My daughter now talks about this whole experience like it is in the past. She says that she is glad that she went through this so that she can help other people. Wow! I hope it is in the past!

Be stong, we are almost there!

hugs.
