My Girl...

What a massive difference it is to our household without our daughter here.

Away on school camp, (They bussed it to Dubbo, Tamworth, & surrounding areas) I am sure she is having the time of her life with her school friends.

How I miss her constant chattering!

Just to hear her, or her music being played in her room, or her clothes strewn over the place.....is a reminder of her prescence!

One more sleep & she will be home....

And while I am on the subject of my Daughter, allow me to ramble, will you?

I always knew I would just have 1 daughter, for some strange reason.

I envisioned what it would be like, to have a little girl with piggytails & all in pink.

(By the way, neither happened...she had not enough hair to put in pigtails & she chose her own clothes from a very early age...usually things identical to her big brother...camo t-shirts, & Batman dress-ups...I kid you not!)

I had imagined her & I would shop together, (a trait she did get from me is being able to shop for hours on end, without a break, except for a stop off at a cafe where we sit pondering our next purchases, while refreshening ourselves with a cool drink) & I have to admit...there have been occassions where Tylah will ask if we can go & get something-or-rather she needs for school, only to get to the shops, & her to grin cheekily at me & say,

"Oh mum, I hope you don't mind...we just need some girl time!" & theres nothing she needs afterall, except to have that one-on-one time with her mummy.

Awwwww!!!

I miss my baby girl.

( I really should stop referring to her as my baby too...she turns 12 next month!)
