it's finally here...
usually time flies around here...
like the speed of light...
this week has felt long...
like molasses...
the anxiety of moving i guess...
but it's here...
the move starts tomorrow...
i am looking so forward to it...
yesterday i woke up at 3:00AM with a raging migraine...
it's not often i get them...
but this was a doozy...
today i am upright...
so that is good...
i am sure it's just the stress of the get ready and wait...
feeling better today...
i still have that migraine "hangover" but the nausea is gone for the most part...
today i am going back to my little office...
getting some work done...
then i will be moving all weekend...
glad it's a long one!
tomorrow is Brooke's 21st birthday...
we celebrated on Wednesday...
she is hitting the road tonight to celebrate with her girlfriends in Vegas baby...
{yikes}
i love this girl...
i can't even imagine my life without her in it...
as i think about her 21 years in my life my heart bursts...
she was my rough pregnancy...
barfed for 6 months straight...
non stop...
she was my hard labor...
she was my tiny baby...
2 lbs. lighter than meg...
6lbs. 15oz.
{i had huge babies}
wink!
she was my sick baby...
she had asthma...
we gave her treatment after treatment for years...
she was in a horrid accident where a plate glass window fell onto her head before she was 2...
if the rest of us get a cold she gets pneumonia...
when it's too hot she gets heat stroke...
she has given me a scare or two...
let's just say...
but this girl of mine...
she is sunshine...
she lights up a room with her smile...
and her infectious laughter...
she is loud...
she is funny...
she is brave...
she is creative...
she is bold...
she is one strong girl...
i feel so grateful she is mine...
so amazed at her beauty...
her kindness to me...
her friendship...
her devotion...
she is going to do amazing things...
so happy birthday to my girl...
i am the lucky one...
kiss kiss

So sweet and magical! I said very similiar things about my Anna who turned 21 in October... know what she said to me? "Cuz I'm your girl mom!" I think you are just as amazing as your daughter, she had YOU for her role model!
Wishing a smooth move for you, and a happy weekend!

Happy Birthday to Brooke, 21 is an awesome time, happy moving weekend Margie, hope it's stress free, sorry to hear of the migraine, I get those too, like an ice pick in the side of the head, comes out of the blue and wipes me out...luckily it's only once a month...

What a beautiful post! One of my favorite memories at Spark 2010 was talking with both your girls. I had nice long chats with both of them and it made my heart so happy when Brooke told me that you were her very best friend. I could see and hear how much she loves you!! You two are so lucky to have each other!! Happy Birthday to your beautiful girl!! Hugs from Conroe, wait this weekend it's from Indianapolis :)

I have been down recovering from major back surgery! I have missed reading your posts....What a wonderful one to come back to, made me cry! She sounds so much like my baby girl, who is now 30!! Wow....Thanks for the heart warming words of love to your daughter, you are a great lady and mother! You inspire me in so many ways....Thank you and being a migraine sufferer myself, I am so very happy you are better. Good luck with the move!
