Although I have already raised 4 children, I still have one young teen left in the house. Now that I am older and have more experience, I thought that I would write down some pointers for my teenaged daughter.

Summertime Things...
Well, the new job officially starts next week and she has now learned which pool she will be working in. We had to visit the chiropractor a couple of days ago because she pulled 6 ribs out of place during the life guard training. Thankfully, the chiropractor showed her some excercises to do each morning before getting up that will help her body get the stretching it needs. Even though my teen is very tiny and slim, she still isn't in the shape that she needs to be in, so she's working on it, and was told that crunches were really good for building the ab muscles. Riding her horse is still in the picture but due to the extreme hot weather, she can only be ridden on in the late evening or very early morning., but Frenchie is probably glad for the break right now. Things have been up and down for my daughter and the long-time boyfriend and it's very stressful. I really hope that things calm down soon. I am happy that we can discuss things and I try to always have an ear to hear what she's saying...even when she's not saying it. Summer is definetly challenging, to say the least. How is your summer going?

Summer, Once Again....
Now my daughter is going to be a senior and she is so happy about it....little does she realize that it always seems that the last year of high school just goes way too fast. It seems like such a lifetime ago that I graduated from high school, and here I am trying to remember all my friends.
My teen has gone through the Red Cross Lifeguard training and is now going to be a lifeguard at the pools nearby and that's a good thing. She has learned so much, and boy! has she grown up in such a short amount of time. She still has her first job that she got a little over a year ago and works it part time. I think this coming up year will be exciting for her and I am anxious to see how it goes for her. Enjoy your summer my dear readers....for soon, it will be school time again.
