Update thread on my daughter

[freakygirl]

I would like to tell everyone that my daughter made it home.. well educated yet very tired, from her trip to Washington DC.

Her plane arrived a little later than expected.. landing was supposed to be at 11:08 pm.. and it landed at 11:15 pm instead.

Her bus arrived back at the school in her town a little after 2 am.. and she was safely in bed asleep by 2:30am

She woke at about 2 pm today.. long enough to call mom, eat and go potty.

Last report from my ex husband.. she is back in bed, curled up with her blanket sound asleep..

I can breathe again.. finally.


Thanks to everyone who pm'd me..

When God Created Moms


When the good Lord was creating mothers, He was into His

sixth day of overtime, when an angel appeared and said,

"You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."

And the Lord said, "Have you read the spec on this one?

She has to be completely washable, but not plastic;

have 180 moveable parts, all replaceable;

run on black coffee and leftovers; have a lap

that disappears when she stands up;

a kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg

to a disappointed love affair; and six pair of hands."

The angel shook her head slowly and said,

"Six pairs of hands...no way."

“It's not the hands that are causing me problems," said the Lord.

"It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."

"That's on the standard model?" asked the angel.

The Lord nodded.

"One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks,

"What are you kids doing in there?" when she already knows.

Another here, in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't,

but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front

that can look at a child when he goofs up and say,

"I understand and I love you," without so much as uttering a word."

"Lord," said the angel, touching his sleeve gently, "Rest for now.

Tomorrow..." "I can't," said the Lord.

"I'm so close to creating something close to myself.

Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick,

can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger

and can get a nine year old to stand under a shower."

The angel circled the model of the mother very slowly.

"She's too soft," she sighed. "But tough!" said the Lord excitedly.

"You cannot imagine what the mother can do or endure."

"Can she think?"

"Not only think, but she can reason and compromise,"

said the Creator.

Finally the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek.

"There's a leak," she pronounced.

"I told you, you were trying to put too much into this model."

"It's not a leak," said the Lord. "It's a tear."

"What's it for?"

"It's for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness and pride."

"You're a genius," said the angel.

The Lord looked somber, "I didn't put it there."
