I just have to add...... I went to D's back to school night tonight. D sits right in front of the class and I sat in her chair and her teacher comes over to me and says " you must be D9's mom! "d9 said to me today you are just going to love my mom!" On every back to school night the kids right their parents a letter, we read it and write one back. This year she addressed it to just me and thanked me for helping her with her homework, making her dinner and spending time with me. It melted my heart. She is already famous in class. She did have a fever this week and I had to pick her up and she stayed home a day. She was worried she would not understand her math test so she asked for extra help! The teacher is going to help her before school tomorrow. But she says D9 is really good at math, she'll be fine. She does not get that from me.
Then the mom across from me said " I just have to say, I love your daughter, she has so much energy and is so full of personality" she met her when a friend was watching her and they brought my D to help sell Girl Scout cookies.
I went back to spin last night finally and ex was dropping her off there. The whole class was asking for her especially the instructor. She sits in the room instead of going to the teen room. They all welcomed her back. And my instructor said my ex was good looking. Barf.
Any of you who have met my D knows she is larger than life. It can be a real challenge for me sometimes ( and an even bigger challenge for her father) but she makes such an impression on the people she meets. Wouldn't change her for the world, no matter how many gray hairs she gives me .
I'm so full of love for that kid. I couldn't imagine my life without her.
