My oldest daughter can be very difficult at times but she can also be very amazing a lot of the time. We spent this morning together because I had to take her back to the chiropractor because the visit on Monday caused some rebound pain and she hasn’t been able to swim all week. We were early for the appointment so she let me read the paper she wrote for English class. The teacher gave her a 95 and noted that it was a college level paper. She is also doing an amazing comic strip for chemistry as a way of answering a data question that they did earlier this week. She is very talented in many
ways.

She was concerned because I haven’t been going to the chiropractor on a regular basis because we just can’t afford it right now but we were both in such bad shape I made the appt. for us both on Monday. Her trip is ending up to be 3 by next Friday. She feels bad about the money. I feel bad that she feels bad about the things she needs yet how often does she not ask because she thinks it’s too much. I told her that her health is the most important thing and that we would work it out. She needs to swim like all people need to breath.

So from now on I am going to keep my mouth shut about the money or lack of it. I didn’t realize how much my mouth flaps about things and how the people around me take it. Duct tape will be my friend.
