She actually told me she wished that I was in Eastern Europe with her. She says that when she sees anything or eats anything she is sad because she knows that I would really enjoy it and it makes her sad that I'm not there. AWWW!! I know that the separation has a big influence on her moods, but I paid for her trip, I might as well get something from it! I'm going to enjoy every second of her melancholy mood with hopes that she will come home with a new mindset that will stick! I know I am an eternal optimist. I'm always looking at the silver lining, but IT COULD HAPPEN!

Yet another milestone in Parenthood
My daughter called me today after being out of the country for two weeks and told me she missed me terribly. This is the same child who not too long ago thought I was the spawn of Satan and that I was born to make her life miserable! Maybe they do finally come around. It's really nice when your children start to appreciate you. I don't know how long this will last, so I am going to drink it in all that I can while she is in this mood! Tomorrow she may be calling me names and hating me again!

A New Chapter in Parenthood
Today I took my only child (she's 20) to the airport and put her on an international flight to Eastern Europe. I was excited about her going, but today has been very unnerving. I didn't think I would feel this way, but today has been surreal. Trying to wrap my mind around her being on another continent. Somewhere where I can't get to her if she needs me.
I have been very unsettled today. I said I would not track her flight online, but before the plane even left the ground I was tracking it. Now I am going beserk because I lost them when they started across the Atlantic. The flight tracker says that connection will be lost while crossing a large body of water, so I'm not worried, YET! They have two more hours of the flight left, and Amsterdam isn't inland much, so I probably won't make contact with the flight until it lands.
She will be gone for 5 weeks! I miss her already.
I know she will have the experience of a lifetime on this trip, but the question is will I live through it?

Things that Make Me Mad
Stoplights
Waiting in line to spend money
Murphy's Law
The word "Like". (You know like when like people use like the word like constantly?)
When people are two hours late.
