In a little over a month my oldest will be 14. She is smart, beautiful, and some days the death of my sanity! There are times when days go by without incident, and other times we can't go two hours without one of us snapping at the other. And as frustrated as I get with her, I get twice as frustrated with myself. Nothing can remind you of your shortcomings as quickly as motherhood. I always wonder, "what if I was a little more patient" or "what am I NOT saying to let her know how much I adore her". I suppose the best I can hope for is that she grows up never having doubted that I love her and did the best I could...Funny how when you are a teenager it seems like the hardest time in your life...until you raise one.
