keeping my fingers crossed.

My eldest was adopted when she was nine. She had been severely abused both mentally and sexually the first 9 years of her life. We were told she would never graduate. well she did that in 2000. She has now taken the big step of deciding to go to a college not far from here and the state will pay since she is an independant adult and mentally handicapped. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping she goes thur with it.

It is really scary letting her go but she needs to do this. Or she needs to try it out anyway. My husband and I are not going to be around forever and she needs to be prepared for life without us some day.

I just hope she does it but you know what, even if she does not succeed, she will still be my daughter and I will love her. I just want her to try to do her best. It is such a huge step for her. She is scared. So am I. I don't want her to have to move out but in the long run it is the best thing for her.

This will not take place for several months as so much has to be done and it is a long process but I am hoping she will do it.

a lazy day

today is another lazy day. I did get a pic scanned of of Ronnie and really am trying to find one of sammy to put up there. Sammy is a lovely natured cat but she does not photograph well. Ronnie always does so well in the photographs.

I got up feeling I would get all sorts of stuff done. Well, that stuff is still waiting to get done.

Well, fiddly dee, tomorrow is another day................

Baby shower today...

I do not know why I go to baby showers. The only reason I went to day was because she is the duaghter of a friend of mine. But there is one thing I find when I get into a group of women with kids. They talk of nothing else. It is constantly talking about how smart their one and two year old kids are. I keep thinking, wait til they are sixteen..................lol

Animal cops Huston is on. I like that show.

Look what was in our area of the woods

It is a young one and very curious. Hubby took it.

Hubbys birthday

Hubby is going to have his birthday tomorrow and he is one of the most infuriating men to buy for. He will not tell anyone what he wants til the day before and by then, most of the stuff is already bought. We do have other things to do you know besides try and figure out what he wants. Well, my surprise was blown when we were at walmart and he kept insisting on me telling the girls he wanted slippers and taking me back to pick them. I already bought him slippers. So he is insisting I get him these slippers but I finally said. You got slippers at home in a box now act suprised when I give them to you.

He is so hard to buy for. He gets everything he wants when he needs it and it is next to impossible to get him things that surprise him.

Daughter is fixing a cake and I am doing stuffed pork chops.

Movies.....

I have become quite the movie buff lately. I never used to watch many of them but something happened....My daughters both love movies and until recently, I felt as though there was not much I could do with them as our interests are so different. My eldest is very solemn and quite. She has talents but does not use them. My youngest is very talented and loves to sing. I cannot sing worth a hoot and the books I read do not interests either of them that much but the one thing we could do was watch movies togther and talk about them. So I have been going to the movies more often and watching them on netflix when the girls are both here.

My least favorite types are the chick flicks. I like the more dramatic movies such as Gangs of New York. I think Leonardo could be one of the greats if he applied himself. I have Aviator here and he did a good job in it too.

I like anything with Johnny Depp in and will have most of the movies we have with him in wore out. I love Finding Neverland and Pirates of the Carribean.

Samuel Jackson is another favorite. I like him in just about any movie he does. Denzel W. is another one. I just watched him In Man of Fire with the great little actress Dakota Fanning. I have seen about all his movies and have not seen one that I did not like.

What excites me most about this is it is something me and the girls can do together. We can laught and have fun.
