This came out of my oldest daughter's mouth tonight. It is funny how one never really appreciates something until they are forced to live without it. So NOW I am the best mom because when she calls for some random reason she will ask what we are doing for dinner. My reply will always be "Have you eaten?". This is now our routine and I am ok with it for many reasons......of which I will share with you now~!
As I stated yesterday....you do not wake the angry sleep monster. You must tiptoe around and panic if you make too much noise or she will wake and look at you with daggers in her eyes.
I don't know about you but that is a look I would not want to come across in an alley! So any little bit of acknowledgement I get from her is a sigh of relief that I will live to see another day!
Well now I have the other one back in Arizona after living, well barely making it, in North Hollywood. Monica has always been my confidant. She is always the one I turn to when I need help with the evil sister and together we have learned how to tame the beast. When she left I was heartbroken and missed her terribly.
Mother's Day she flew out here to take me to a concert....you can see there is a mood difference alone but they are both amazing girls in their own ways....so she tells me that she is moving home. On one hand I am thrilled but I also worried about her.....where would she go? Why now and what about the boy she loved?
Tonight she comes over and sits with us for awhile just talking. We never talked before she moved away. She tells me that all her friends have moms that are annoying and bossy. She tells me that after she talks about her parents they all want to meet us. I guess we did something right in 17 years..... 
Well we still have a few things that need working on but the point is that maybe this is all the "MASTER PLAN"......
It is baby season where I live and there are these annoying little birds in all the trees chirping like an injured dog while the parents flit about above. The other day I came out and there was a baby right outside the gate.....he was running around and flapping his wings. When I approached he ran around the corner and was clawing up the wall to get back in the nest. He scurried around for awhile and I instantly felt like I wanted to save him. What I realized was that this is all part of nature. We have to kick them out of the nest and hope they learn to fly. If we do it right, encourage them and listen when all we want to do is scream, unlike nature they return and have a newfound respect for our efforts.....
