Wow, Michelle! What a great gift you gave to someone else during the holidays. My daughter did Locks of Love when she was about 12 (she's almost 18 now). She always had long, thick fast-growing hair, and she just decided to let it grow til she could sit on it. Then we went to a participating salon, and she got it cut to about a chin-length bob. I took photos during the cutting - it was such a sweet thing for her to do.

Woohoo! I'd forgotten about Egg Nog. I don't know why, but I've always loved it. I get everything from straight eggnog, to eggnog-flavored creamer for my coffee. since it's the only time of year they make stuff in that flavor, I'm pretty much a sucker for all of it.

How do you spoil yourself? Or your family?
I tend to bake a lot more than I usually do, which spoils my family. :) In preparation for the holidays, I'm going to try to get a nice, fresh haircut today - it's a little bit of indulgence for me!

This is true you are grieving the little girl----AND the person you were in that relationship. (sounds like you like that part of you)
But like clearing a room in your house-----you need to get rid of what is no longer needed in order to make space for the new.
As your daughter becomes a teen and then a young woman, she will need different "things' from you. Once you let go of what has been--you will receive more clarity on your new role. BUT, it is a process and you need to validate your feelings and be gentle with yourself.
Step back and appreciate what you have done, enjoy and praise all of your hard work.-----and--- have an awareness where the mom still needs to be .
A have a very independent 17 yr old daughter and we have gone thru many stages as she/we have been transforming----we have been distant and very close and everything in between----it is a rite of passage for both mom and daughter and my experience has been when all feelings, thoughts and needs are being heard and validated (that means mom"s too) it becomes a mutual respectful experience.
It sounds like you are entering the teen experience with a wonderful consciounsess---so I imagine it will be a beautiful experience-- ----maybe not always huggy kissy, but always true love.
I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter, reading an article in Mothering Magazine, about how toddlers need to go off and be independent, but how they will come back to mom to check in and get recharged.
That is fmy role now for my daughter---she is out there doing amazing things ---and she comes to me when she needs to recharge------and when I recharge her I get recharged as well----Mother Nature is so smart.
Peace

Hi,
This is completely normal. You are mourning the little girl you used to have because now she is growing up and doesn't need you as much. She still needs you, make no mistake, but, in different ways. You can only be there for when those ways show themselves.
There will be many passages like this in her life. She'll start to date. She'll get a job. She'll leave home. She'll get married. She'll have her own children. Each time, she will grow farther away. But, she will always need you. Plan for these transitions. Treat yourself because you're doing such a great job raising her. A home-spa weekend with fancy soap from a craft fair. Make time to be with your friends, so you won't miss the time she spends away so much. Learn something new. Take a class. Have a party. Volunteer. Habitat for Humanity loves its volunteers. Fill your life with good things.
And, know you will always be needed.
Carol

Hey Y'all
I havent posted in awhile but I keep reading and learning from old and new moms alike. I have been reading about "Sleepless Nights" and thought I would post my sleepless night of another kind and see if any of you have experienced what I am dealing with.
I have a 13yo daughter who it turns out is very very independent and I am happy to say also very responsible for a teen. Here is my problem. I am a person who needs to be needed. It may not be a good thing but it works for me and I guess part of the reason I choose RN as my career. Lately my daughter has been staying at her girlfriends' for the weekend, has been getting up for school without my help, has been doing things for herself that I have been doing since my oldest was younger and I know I should be grateful that she is who she is, but, I have been having a real hard time dealing with it. I cry when Im alone and think about it, I have sleepless nights over it, I am just a mess. I know it probably sounds ridiculous to some of you and to others its something you cannot wait to happen. But for me, its turning me into a basket case. While I have my home, my business, my other daughter, my hobbies, there are just so many things to keep me occupied, I
just cannot figure out why this is affecting me so badly. I know that if she is as independent and responsible as she is, I have done my job as a parent, but she is still my baby and I thought she would need me forever. H-E-L-P!!!!!

Favorite Holiday Indulgence

I ususally cook everyone's favorite things. I have already started baking for my gift baskets to everyone. So far I have applesauce bread, pumpkin spice bread and mini meatloafs for my in laws basket. Today, I am starting on 3 different fudge recipes. I made the applesauce bread in mini loaf pan and the pumpkin spice bread in mini bundt pans. I was trying to get some different shapes for different flavors and I thought it would look neat in a gift basket.
I would say I spoil everyone else and my indulgence would be watching everyone get their Christmas presents and the decorating. I love all my lights and decorating the whole house. Can't wait to take out all my clearance buys from last year and see how they look and work.
I mailed Christmas presents out a week ago to realtives far away and took my son and DIL's gifts up to them this past weekend. My husband's aunt and uncle are coming this weekend and I am going to make sure they take there Christmas presents, gift baskets and goodies back with them because we will not get to see them for Christmas.
It seems as though our family runs their birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, wedding anniversaries and Christmas all together.
Hope everyone is having a good week,
Terri {Odessa, TX, USA}
