Our Girls Just Left

[janc]

My younger daughter was the lazy one. She hated high school and after graduation (barely) didn't like either of her jobs sooo she went in the Army . I couldn't believe she lasted through boot camp. Getting her up in the mornings was a REAL chore. 9 years later (she was out for 2 years- had 2 babies a year apart and a divorce) she's still in the Army and taking flying lessons. She wants to fly helicopters in Iraq! She's been there twice. The older one was climbing out of windows when she was 14, a dropout at 15 or 16 (the school asked her to leave) and has been with her significant other since she was 17. She has 2 kids who she makes tow the line (she's like a drill sergeant) and she's been in college for almost a year! That is a miracle! She wants to be in charge of a Dr. office. She has epilepsy that's been under control for 6 years. She's 35 almost 36. The middle child, my boy, was valedictorian in high school and never got in trouble. He's married and has 1 kid. Life can sure throw some surprises.
