Me and my girls
I don't have a sister, so I can't say that I know what they are going through, but raising daughters is, well, sort of like what I would imagine boot camp would be like…for parents.
After a while, stuff tends to get a little sweaty, a bit sticky and, sometimes, very, very, painful, but in a good way (although, sweating, especially in certain places where a person ought not, you know, stick together, is NEVER a good thing) and then it's weigh in time.
"What do you mean I gained 320 pounds!?!?"
The estrogen levels, in our house, alone are enough to scare my husband, Garth [not his real name] into thinking, you know, maybe he and the boy should move into the shed.
Because, there's just NO MORE ROOM in our garage — or, something.
"I HATE MY *insert body part here, or family member here*!!!"
No, they don't always like each other (or, me) and that's okay (sort of) but, every now and again, I need to remind myself, you know, it isn't easy being a girl.
Unless, it is a really hot day.
Aaaand, there is a sprinkler nearby.
Throw in a couple of teenagers.
Well, it's pretty easy to see that there is this tiniest spark of a woman inside, just waiting to burst out.
Aaaaand, for a brief moment, I'm allowed into their world and then, suddenly, the girls are okay with the fact that, you know, I'm their mom.
Me, too!
Like my youngest daughter's favorite pair of sneakers, I really do hope it lasts.
Them liking me, I mean, 'cawse, one day, they're going to find someone ELSE to love (maybe, even more than me) and that's okay (sort of) but, for now, they are MY peeps and I am totally keeping them!

My daughter has outgrown the sprinkler dancing phase, but we have entered the sushi lunches, mani/pedi, clothes shopping phase… and it’s good.
I’m digging the sneakers though.

It sounds like a real adventure. I raised 2 sons, and I think that might have been easier. They weren’t too fond of each other, but they both protected me from all “bad stuff”. I think they thought I couldn’t take it if one of their friends snubbed me, or lots of “really bad stuff”.
