> I'm thrilled that you all missed me!! I must say, you have been quite busy and I should fill you in on what has been going on here. My daughter was driving to school yesterday with my son, and rear ended one of her friends. It had nothing to do with the topamax, the girl in front of the two cars slammed on her brakes to turn. We got the estimate today, 3,500.00 or so for that mishap. No one was hurt, but she is really upset about the car being buckled up. It will be in the shop for several days, maybe a week, and that means me or dad driving her around. I wasn't working today, I mostly have my classes in the morning at the gym. I am taking another certification course and have been studying for that. I wasn't sure if I really wanted to take that on just now, but what the heck, it can't hurt. My mind probably needs that distraction, and it won't hurt me to learn something new these days. I must be finished with it by the end of December to be hired for the job, and that has me a little worried. My mind isn't as good as it was years ago, but being 42, I should expect that to start to happen.

I trust that she knows you and her father know it was not her fault... as in he has calmly and matter of factly told her that he understands that she could not have done otherwise and he is glad she was not hurt...as for learning after 42... I am learning Gaelic (when I can read that is <g>) and if I can do that and I am MUCH older than 42 you can do this...
there is a whole age between now and December... go for it... and have your daughter help you study or practice or whatever it is you need to do...
rely on her for help in this...
she needs to know that you are not always able to do it right just because you are an adult... and it will help her build self-esteem...
one of the things I wish I had known to do when my girls were growing up...
do it for me...as for chocolate... put your daughter to work again...
ask for her help...
you cannot resist the siren call of chocolate... and you need help resisting for whatever reason... are you gaining weight that is a problem with your work? think of a reason... ask for her help to get past this problem....
they can help in these problems we have...
we do not have to be perfect...oh I wish I had known that when my girls were growing up....
on the bright side...
my youngest girl is in the midst of an unplanned high-risk pregnancy... the baby is 20 months old this is REALLY unplanned and she does not do deliveries well... finding a high risk ob-gyn has been difficult, the only one readily available is the one who made such a disaster out of the last one... we almost lost our little girl... either a dead baby or a baby severely physically and mentally handicapped was the prognosis because of some mistakes he made...
we were blessed and there is answer to prayer...well a friend of hers and the baby's godmother decided enough was enough and called her baby's delivery service, he was also high risk... and we now have a delivery man and a high risk delivery man and all is well... so things look brighter tonight...
maybe tomorrow I will wake up knowing it is morning...
and everything will be greatkat
