Bittersweet day

It's a bittersweet day here. My sweet daughter who I have had the pleasure of having at home the last 4 years, has gone to high school today. I will miss her sweet and loving nature on a daily basis. On the other hand, I will enjoy having "me" time again, (eventually) and hopefully getting my house back into shape. I have had some serious health issues in the past, and still don't have all the energy that I used to. I sure don't have the brain that I had, either. I say stupid things, the opposite of what I want to say. I think I remember something, then realize later that what I thought was right, was wrong. It is so frustrating! Home schooling was the best for our daughter morally, socially, and character wise, but not so academically. Had I not gotten sick, it might have been better. It is what it is, and hopefully, (prayerfully) she will be able to catch up, and get the help she needs from each of her teachers. She was not a bit nervous about going to "high school" at all, and was looking forward to seeing all her old friends, making new ones, as well as keeping her current ones. Of course I worry about the "wrong" kind of friends, but I also have taught her well, and I know, for the most part, she will measure her friends by GOD'S standards. I also am not so stupid as to say, "not my child".....However, I will trust her until proved otherwise.

~keep her in your prayers if you will (and me)

Have a Blessed day~Cat
