Happy 13th Em

So we have entered into another dimension...

the teenage girl dimension...


you know that outer body experience that leaves you wondering how in the world you ever made it out alive and in awe of your parents great patience and restraint!!!


Good gracious, if it weren't for "sassy', there would be no attitude at all!!

*grin*

But behind the sas...


is a heart that is receptive and yielding...


a spirit that is especially tender yet incredibly strong.

Teenage girlhood has brought along with it, makeup and hair styles and fashion and friends...


so so different than the snips and snails and puppy dog tails... as well as the burping and the wrestling and the pegging and the megging that I am used to!


Hubby is currently planning his escape hatch and hideout in the back yard as the surge in estrogen around here seriously frightens him!

Which is fine with me, as long as there is room for two...  and a wine fridge!

*hehe*

Oh well, we survived teenage boys...


I suppose we will survive teenage girls too...


Especially because our very first teenage girl loves kitties...

and doggies

and babies

and old(er) people

To steal a quote, raising teenagers can be a bit "like nailing Jell-o to a tree"...

but I think, in the end, what falls away, should, and what sticks is oh so sweet!


Happy 13th birthday baby girl!
