Happy birthday to you, mom! (Birthdays have taken on new meaning since I had McDiva.)
It seems very daunting, this teenage thing, but my experience has been that it just gets better! Our kids are so smart and interesting, and it's a joy watching them transform into smart, beautiful, and interesting young women. All the best!
Thank you! :) And I always loved this quote from Lost in Translation, because it gets it so right:
Bob: It gets a whole lot more complicated when you have kids. Charlotte: It's scary. Bob: The most terrifying day of your life is the day the first one is born. Charlotte: Nobody ever tells you that. Bob: Your life, as you know it... is gone. Never to return. But they learn how to walk, and they learn how to talk... and you want to be with them. And they turn out to be the most delightful people you will ever meet in your life. Charlotte: That's nice.
