Raising a daughter who is so much like me can be easy OR like fighting with myself.
One major difference between us is that, this soon to be double digit youngest of mine, is much smarter than I even strive to be. Her brain just functions at a much higher capacity. She definitely keeps me on my toes, but she’s also very aware of boundaries so I don’t have to worry about her hacking a password or outsmarting the rules. And maybe she does hack and maybe she does bend the rules- honestly, I’d never catch her. 😂 Lord, help me if my kids ever find this website.

Anyway, aside from how amazing our kids are, I’m just stuck on how old I’m getting. The more they grow, the more I age. The realization that, if all goes according to plan, both of our kids will be graduated from high school in 5 years. 3 more year until my oldest drives and 8 until they are both adults.

I’m to the point in life that I actually need a 5 and 10 year plan. It’s not up to societal norms anymore- get married, buy a house, have babies… Now I really have to think about what I want to do, what I’m capable of and who I am going to be once I’m not a homeschool teacher, chauffeur, housemaid etc.
Is this my mid-life crisis starting?
Pray for me, please.
