Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Lucky Thirteen

October 2, 2013

Seems like only yesterday when I found out that the little one growing inside me was our long awaited daughter/sister! That is a story in itself, but suffice it to say we were so very surprised and absolutely ecstatic. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE all my boys, they give me a joy all their own. But for a mom to have a daughter, well, it’s really difficult to describe. Probably in the same way it is with fathers and sons.

Maggie is 13 today – a true teenager. I have watched her change from a child into a beautiful young woman these last three years and it’s been a wonder! On the other hand she is my first girl entering her teen years – gulp! I hope I can handle it with grace and compassion and remembrance of my own turbulent growing up years. But today, we’ll just focus on celebrating and take everything else one day at a time. She’s already had her first real cup of coffee (Caribou Decaf) and she’ll be making a chocolate cheesecake today as well.

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGGIE!! Thank you for bringing your joy, love of shopping, and love of cats into our lives – we love you so very much!!
