Dreams Do Come True

You Are Cinderella!

Dignified and hard working. With a gentle and soft-spoken manner you have something many people don't. Patience. Even through the moments of heartbreak you're still able to hold onto all of your hopes and dreams. Bide your time; you're dream will come true.

Which Disney Princess Are You?


Well, time passes quickly when your home, work and volunteer life is as full as mine. What happened to the days of carefree daily updating?

In hindsite, the wearing nature of last week's competency assessment is already fading. Saturday we were greatly assisted by Christie and then Kate who came to let folks into the office building when we found out too late that it is not open on Saturdays. Funny, it never ceases to amaze me when I look at the wonderful young women they have become. It happens in the blink of an eye.

The rest of this week is catch up in the office, heavy duty prep for ToC and the ceremony and last minute details for Christie's formal and the beginning of prep for Kate's prom.

Then we are on the downhill slope toward graduation. She took placement exams in math and Spanish on Saturday. She picks up her cap and gown today.

I am praying I can minimize the outward manifestations of my separation anxiety as we celebrate this milestone and prep her for the dorm. I am mindful of something Christie said to me this weekend when I went around to the isolated area of the office where she was stationed to let people in. "Are you scared being over here by yourself, Sweetheart?" I asked. "Mom, are you projecting here?" she asked, "You know...when YOU are anxious about something and you put it of on the other person as THEIR emotion?"

Sometimes, it does not pay to have a too intelligent child.
