My daughter may be trying to kill me...

I am pretty scared for my life at this point. My daughter may be trying to kill me, I am not sure, but the evidence is pretty compelling. All the times my mother wished upon me a daughter like myself may finally be coming back to haunt me. The root of the problem? She is exactly like me...I am so screwed:(

The attitude, the sense of humor. The screaming, the singing. The drama, the performer. All the best and worst qualities of me! What do I do with this??? How do I survive myself as a child, or even worse...as a teenager???? I can not do it, I am scared, stressed and a little psychotic about the whole endeavor!

So what do we, the mothers of independent, free thinking, unique daughters have to look forward to? Hopefully not the things my mom had to deal with...police stations, hospitals, court rooms. Maybe just the good parts...not being a follower, not being afraid to speak her mind, not being too shy to get up in front of a room full of people and sing/act/tell jokes...whatever! All the things that make her difficult (sometimes) also make her amazing (always).

So, what to do...do we trade all the "crazy" for easy, or do we embrace the insanity and be happy? I guess aside from the previously mentioned negatives (police et. al.) I am not the worst thing in the world. OK, maybe she isn't trying to kill me, just keep me on my toes.

Tune in next time for...My son is awesome (or maybe he sees his bat shit crazy sister's behavior and knows how to play me like a fiddle?) ;)
