My daughter has these posters all over her walls!

Wow...I got done with all my shopping alot quicker than I had expected to.

Nobody was out today...all the stores were empty. It was just ME and it was soooo nice.

I had totally forgotten about my kid staying after school today so I have a little bit of extra time this afternoon. My posting time don't jive with Maeve's clock...ummm..you all know I'm in Germany right? So like for me right now it's 2:20pm. Maybe morning time for ya'll.

Anyway back to my shopping. Ya know it sure don't take a long time to spend money does it?

Hmmmm...who knew?

But once again I didn't shop for myself. My daughter announced to me this morning that she can't wear half her clothes anymore. Seems Ms Thang has had another growth spurt and now the kid is as tall as I am and I'm 5'9. I was able to buy some of her stuff today without her being with me because it's not real hard to pick up a few pairs of Levi's. My kid is soooo easy to please when it comes to clothes and I am thrilled about it. A couple pairs of levi's, t-shirts, hoodies, VANS sneakers and she's good to go.

My daughter is no where near being as prissy as I was at her age. I mean when I was in High School I always wore make-up and did my hair. Not my daughter...she don't give a rat's ass about that stuff most days. Every once in a while she'll slap on some eyeliner but most of time.....nope.

She can't do shit with her hair right now because she's letting it grow out and it's in that in between stage where the most you can hope for is that it'll just lay down flat. Ya know?

But she don't care one bit.

I've talked about some of the problems we've had with our precious angel on my site before and I hate to even call some of them problems because she's fine. I have alot of respect for my daughter because she truly does her own thing and has never tried to impress anyone. To me that is sooo awesome for her age.

She will not apologize for her love of Japanese Animation, Dragons, Vampire movies, her extensive comic book collection, her funky taste in jewelry..haha. She's just not like most girls is all I'm saying. She hangs out with a very small group of kids and her best friend just recently shaved her hair off....almost completely bald. I did threaten my child with her life if she even thinks about doing that but luckily my daughter likes her hair.

I remember being in school. I know what it's like but it's funny for me to hear my daughter and her friends call the other kids WEIRD.

hahahahahaha.

But hey...I am NOT calling my own child weird or anything like that but you all know as well as I do what school is like and if you could see my kid you'd know what I'm trying to get at here.

Last year my daughter put herself in a bad spot with alot of the more popular girls. They made her life hell for a few weeks but she never did back down and I was just soo damn proud of her for standing up to them.

There was a mean girl and after gym class she thought it would be funny to shove a geeky girl inside a locker. Nobody did one thing to help this poor girl but my daughter. My daughter stood up to those mean girls and wound up getting into a fight and it was just a mess but like she told me that day; "Momma, it wasn't right. That girl was soo scared and she was crying and it just wasn't funny!"

I had called Maeve one night after all of this had happened and told her all about it. Soo, Maeve actually made my daughter a little spell and sent her a very cool bracelet with some old button charms on it. All the stuff Maeve sent her was supposed to make others see the beauty inside my daughter and bring...ummmm...not good luck...just harmony or something like that. My daughter still wears that bracelet every single day...she was just soo tickled over it.

Oh but about that fight she got into. My daughter actually got in more trouble over her mouth than anything. The gym teacher walked in the locker room at the exact moment my daughter was screaming; "Leave her the FUCK ALONE you BITCH!"

Aaaaaah......nice timing huh?

When I say she got in trouble I mean with the school because I didn't do anything to her about it. She did what she thought was right and it's not like she started it.

How the hell did I get onto that subject?

Oh...I think I'm tired from all my shopping and I still have to do my Mom's Taxi Service later on.

Oh well.....that's life huh?

Ya'll having a good day so far?
