It's Saturday morning, I'm propped up in bed with Casie next to me....we're being rather lazy. She came in here after she woke up, I'm on the laptop...we're watching a home improvement show and just hanging out. It's about time to kick it in gear and start our day. We're wanting to go see a movie and then maybe just have a dinner together. It's nice to just be lazy and relax with my daughters...whether we talk or not, I just like being with them. Linds is still in Oklahoma visiting a friend, and I am really starting to miss her now, and am eagerly looking forward to her coming back home. I wish she was propped up in bed with us this morning...although at age 13, I'm sure she'd be groaning about the home improvement show.
Last night, Casie and I went to dinner here in town and her dad met us there. It's nice to know that even in the middle of our family splitting up that there is still the ability for us to get together every now and then and just spend time with one or both of our daughters. Casie was telling us about her day of apartment hunting in her college town with her new roomie. She's so grown up, and it's just a joy to listen to her as she begins her final semester as an undergrad and to know that her life and so many opportunities are before her now. I do know that one thing the girls' father and I have in common is our deep love and pride in our girls. They are both....simply amazing.
Pretty soon, it will be time to take Linds back to school shopping. There's only one month left before she begins her first year of junior high...so hard to believe. I keep seeing back to school supplies in the stores now.
Well, time to get the Saturday moving from the lounging in bed to getting ready to venture out.
Today I am grateful for:
1. Weekends.
2. Lindsey and Casie.
3. The Dole All Fruit popsicle that I ate for breakfast. It IS July in the south after all, and an 80 calorie popsicle sounded much better than a big breakfast or a bowl of Special K. Plus, it made me feel like a rebel....lol.
