Oops! Seemed I skipped a blog last night. Truth be told being on Weight Watchers and eating healthier just in these past few days has given me more energy and I've been staying up pretty late this week watching tv, cleaning, gathering tax papers, etc. Well last night it finally caught up with me and I crashed. It was still kinda late when I drifted off and then I kept waking up in the night. I am addicted to this new iPhone game called Scramble with Friends - similar to Boggle - and all night long I kept having dreams that it was my turn and I was making moves. It was so annoying yet kinda funny. Anyway, that's totally off tonight's topic.
Here it is, 11:18pm, and my daughters are together, cleaning their bathroom. Okay so it's not exciting or anything special to the average person. But to me as a mom it puts a smile on my face and joy in my heart. Not because they are cleaning, although heck yeah that's terrific! But it's the relationship they have that brings me happiness. Annabelle is 10. An intelligent, funny, sometimes nerdy and quirky kinda kid. She loves to knit, read, play word games, do math, help me bake, and just hang around the house. Amber on the other hand is 19. She's a college student at FIT, has an internship with a fashion designer (who has made dresses for celebrities), has had the same boyfriend for like 4 years, was once manager at American Apparel while she was only 17 and still in HS, and was even invited and spoke at a pharmaceutical conference in Texas along with Montel Williams and Wynonna Judd. Both my daughters are amazing in themselves, and yet put them together and it's just a beautiful thing. I love hearing them laugh in their room in the morning while getting dressed, and seeing them singing the same songs and being silly around the house. The way they clean their room together, or play games on their iPhones against each other while they are sitting two feet away. They share similar interests and humor, and the booboo sensitivity they seem to have both inherited from me as well. 9 years difference and yet that seems to not be a factor. Annabelle's maturity combined with Ambers nurturing spirit make for a great sister relationship, and I am so proud and so blessed to be their mom. ( Even though Amber just told me she doesn't read my blogs! Shame on her!) Okay so maybe I sound like I'm being biased or bragging.... Well maybe so but I have every reason to. :). I thank God for entrusting me with these two beautiful kids and hope they will always remain close. ( and that someday that punk Amber will read my blog and see what's she's missing!)
