And the struggles continue... Trying to find our family's new 'center' has proven to be elusive. I guess as with all things, it is the journey not the destination which matters most. We progress seems to be 1 step forward, 1 or 2 steps sideways, 1 small step forward, followed by 2 steps back. I'm not sure we are even holding ground. Now is the time we need each other the most, but it seems now is when we are the furthest apart.
We've just passed Jasmine's 14th birthday. She refused to consider anything that would require any planning what so ever. She just called at 5pm and asked to take her posse out for dinner at7pm followed by a sleep over with a few girls. We made it happen and enjoyed the impromptu event with 7 of her friends. I bought her some clothes she wanted from A&F plus some spending money in her saving account. We had a cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Yum.
Tome, birthdays are to be celebrated with friends, food, and gifts. I am disappointed with anything less. Don't get me wrong, I am disappointed even though it may be someone's birthday and not my own when this happens. This is becoming more of the norm now days.
