This is how things feel sometimes with my oldest. Last night she came home from work (childcare at our church with 4-7 year olds) and brought me a painting she made me of a heart! Beautiful, sweet, colorful and definitely a surprise. Usually I am being accused of ruining her life and other such atrocities. K is a junior in high school who makes good grades and causes us no problems. But she is under a tremendous amount of stress right now. In the next 4 weeks she will have 4 AP exams, the SAT and begin work on her Girl Scout Gold Award. Yes, she is a little busy. But I have complete confidence in her abilities to manage her time, study and actually emerge victorious in a few short weeks!! I am very proud of her and I love her to pieces so it is nice to see she feels the same way about me (sometimes)!
