How many times have I let this happen? I have a bad day and I head straight for the sugar!?!?!
I knew I had a cheat day left and I was so super proud that I did NOT use it on Saturday for a silly reason like being at Purdue with Bri. I was very good about packing and having "good" food with me while I traveled and when we went out to eat I was diligent about eating smart......
So, 12+ hours later - no sleep - and leaving her at Purdue "again!" Look at what state I am in.....
I must constantly remind myself that EMOTION DOES NOT EQUAL SUGAR!!!!!!!
So, let's talk about Bri....she is doing awesome and it was so nice to see her. She is playing Rugby for Purdue and rushed and made it into Tri Delta Sorority. We ate good food went on a shopping spree laid in bed and watched movies and talked until our faces turned blue.
I can't believe what an awesome woman my daughter is becoming. She is kind, considerate, constantly thinking of others and I am SUCH a proud MAMA!!! She is flourishing and what else could a mom ask for when she sends her daughter off to college? I pray and pray every night that I have given her the values and morals to hold her head high, always stand up for what she believes in, while still taking others feelings into view, but never letting herself be less of herself!!! That's a high standard to live by.....but I think she is well on her way.
I have to take those little moments when we are together and use those to get by until I see her again. There is such a special bond that a mama has with her baby girl......it's so hard yet so rewarding to see them grow up!!
Bri is a 2nd generation Purdue Rugger following in her Daddy's footsteps....Here is a picture of her following her 1st Purdue Rugby Tournament.
