There are two teenage girls in my house that are keeping me on my toes. Just when I think I have the world on a string, when I’m sure I have the minutia of everyday figured out, my teen throws me a little curve ball I didn’t see coming. My perfect “straight A” student who always knows exactly what she wants and what she needs to do, maybe not so perfect? Well of course she’s not, she’s a teenager and this is real life Mama! My happy tween skipping through life one moment, left out of the party the next. Ouf, my heart. Raising girls is not for the weak. Once those babes are born it’s truly like having your heart walking around outside your body. If only it was easier to guide and protect that heart! Raising these girls is very much like riding a rollercoaster. Sometimes you just have to hold on, do your best, and enjoy the spectacular ride.
Feel free to send coffee, chocolate, wine, patience and strength!

Life sometimes can certainly throw you many curve balls when you have teens,we all do it hang on and enjoy the ride and be there when they need you
