As of yesterday, I am officially a stepmother to a TEENAGE GIRL......
To say I can already feel the gray hairs starting is putting it mildly...
I had the random thought this morning in the car that I'd already gone through this (this being teenage-dom) and I wasn't sure I was qualified to guide not one but TWO girls through it. I will regardless, but still, kindof feels like some cruel joke.
Not to mention that as I stare at pictures of my step daughter, I am struck by the thought that this kid DOES NOT look 13....worse, she looks 16. It's hard to see the girl that I met five years ago in her face. That little chubby happy kid that loved pink, riding bikes, and thought I was super duper awesome. Now she's a lady. It's frightening.
Here comes the wild roller coaster ride that all parents dread....and she's just the first in a line of them. Weeeee......
