Pearls...

D called me today, as C and I were on our way back from the orthodontist.
D: "What are you doing?"
Me (very tersely): "Oh, I'm sitting in the car with C..."
D (laughing): "Oh, is she full of happiness and joy..."
As he said that, she was in the passenger seat, grumping and grumbling under her breath about how I was mad at her no matter how much I assure her really, I'm not, and how much her teeth hurt and how no one understands her...
So D gets on the phone with her and, VOILA! she's a different child, talking about her new braces on her bottom teeth and how she got to pick out the colors (lavender, sparkly purple, and plum, thank you very much!), and how we're going to Fazoli's so she can have spaghetti since that's easy to chew...
I live with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Sometimes she's still my little girl, like today when she took not one, but TWO stuffed kitties with her to the orthodontist's office, to guard against probable pain...
And sometimes she's an insufferable almost teen, like today with her patented "Are you mad at me...Yes, you are!  I don't see why, I didn't do anything, whine whine whine..."
LOL!
No, really, life is so much fun here!  That whole split personality thing really keeps me on my toes!

  5. Tabby's moods change quickly...she is going to have to get braces. I am sure she will love all the colors.

  6. Hi Sweetie,

    I finally made it here.  I see in the time that I was gone, she has already turned into a teen ager.  You and her will always be close though.  What matters is that she has a very good mother and you are always there for her.

    Hugs,
    Anita

  7. Oh I bet those colorful braces are so pretty! We didn't have that choice when we were younger. Don't worry about the jekyll and hyde thing...that's completely normal at their age  ;o)
