A Reprieve and Letting go a little

Well today's birthday party has been cancelled due to illness as the family has been struck with a gastro virus- not good. Which means I some more time to finish Sleepy Bears, have not done too much this week as returned to work.

DD started TAFE this week and formed a little group within a day. Then I get the news on Tuesday she accepted a lift home from an 18 year boy she had known for a day. She did ring her father to ask permission and he said it was OK as he trusts her opinion.
But I was slightly more freaked out having been a 16 year old girl and knowing the most sensible of us, sometimes do dumb things. Anyway she made it home fine and was thought he was a good driver. I told her I wasn't impressed and we had a talk and I feel more comfortable about things. I've known where this child has been nearly 24-7 for the last sixteen and a half years, this letting go is stressful.

And the complete turnaround in attitude from just cruising along, to taking on heaps of things at once that are going to require maximum effort. She has been feeling a bit nauseous, think it is the changes, she seems to react that way to change. Thankfully she is really sensible eater, just have to make sure she gets enough sleep. Think that goes for me too, being a worry wart at the moment
