Fair week. I am sure there are few schools that actually take days off so students can go to/participate in the county fair. We are one of them. Two days....a break for the kids (mine anyway, as we don't participate much more than putting up a Girl Scout booth and adding a few projects.) Tori did participate in the band show, I should say Lexie too....a band "aid"...cute, huh? The show was great.

Soccer is on a slight break, coming off of 2 wins. Rockin! I'd say "woot-woot" but I just feel too old to do so. Not my thing. It's Tori's. Just as my mom will throw out the occassional "right on". We all have our thing.

A great day from the perspective of spending time with mom and gram, Josie and Jace. Not so good when thinking of what I should have been doing to keep up with the family needs...laundry, cleaning, etc. I know, it will be there tomorrow...and much bigger.

Tomorrow I would like to head to Fremont with my Tori to research for her history project. She would like to run around the fair. I would love to be able to trust her to do that. She has not been able to make that happen....so I am the awful unbelievably controlling witch. Excuse me, stop ignoring us and we will let you do what you want, within our limits as you are 15. 15 year olds get themselves into bad places faster than they realize but they don't know it until they are about 25. :) I don't know if I can stand not making sense to her for the next ten years, but I must keep her out of situations that may cause her to, well, make decisions based on the moment.

Crazy. Insane. She thinks she is a different person than I think she is....UH, DITTO. If she knew me, ME, life may be easier. Alas, I must be the mom. I certainly will never be in her age range so whatever I did or do won't resonate the same, though it is the same when you cut and paste time onto time. She won't get it for years. I didn't. I also had a different mom than me....truly. Or did I???
