Today has been funny in reality has really been knocking on J's door all day.   She keeps getting glimpse.  It is funny in that her idea of real and mine are so different.  I am working hard to treat her just like my other 3.  I would say adding that she is 16 and giving her that, but you have to act 16 to be treated 16 here.   She is wonderful and easily directed but NOT 16!  

Some examples of reality.  We had smoothies for breakfast.  MY smoothies with the exception of adding 2 over ripe bananas to make them sweeter.  They were spinach, flax seed, almonds, mixed fruit and honey.   They were GREAT!  Grand baby got his share and wanted more.  Kids and DIL all agreed they were good.  J drank hers and said it was OK.     More of our different world!

Off to town we go!  First stop is the thrift store.  I allow each one $5.  They are having a 1/2 price on school clothes sale so they could get a LOT.  She needs boots/shoes that are made for more rugged walking than streets.  She didn't like the boots.  OK.  She did look at a long skirt like DIL wears.  She even carried it around a while.  She ended up with nothing.  I have a feeling the fact she told me she was a Jr. and I said ha!  might have played into it.  Some of the ladies small shirts she liked wouldn't even almost fit.      Kids did find a few things. 

Off to the Christian Book Store!  Oh oh I shouldn't go in there!  I really really shouldn't.   I spent way to much.  I did buy her a new Bible.  It is an NIV Teen Girl Bible.   I also got several books on purity and "Lies Young Women Believe".   She was way to busy looking at music and such to notice what I got.  MN knows exactly what I got!  

Next stop pizza!   I order, 3 adults, 2 kids 5 waters.   "I really wanted soda."  "So sorry, soda's are horrible for you and a RARE treat here."   Then after pizza she came back with two deserts.  I said one desert.    She did the pout then shared one with MJ.   MJ ask once if J was drinking soda.  I looked at him and said, "Do I care about J? Would I give her something that wasn't good for her?"  He agreed I cared and wouldn't.  

On to Sams!   I think that was uneventful.   Other than she did ask for a candy bar.    Not happening.   Every sweet thing she saw she has tried and it is good. 

Walmart!   We were looking for a birthday present for grand daughter.   MN wanted to get her horses. So she picked that.  But since she is going to have a new baby brother in about 5 months I wanted to get her a baby doll.  J just kept playing with and was so interested in the dolls I tossed an extra in the cart.  Maybe this is a missed milestone she needs to go back and play with dolls.   We did find her some shoes she liked that weren't to expensive.  She was good at starting looking $$$$ and when I pointed out the price would look at others.  

After that the transmission messed up on the car.  GRRRR!  I called dh and we all fit in the truck to go to therapy.   Therapy was great!  I shared a long time with Dr.  Then when it was kids turn MN was crying.  She had her feelings hurt.  It really was innocent.  J has nicked named T "angel" which for MN brings back memories of a bad time in her life.  So it overflowed!  What better place than the therapist office.  We talked to MN, then Dr talked to all the other kids.   Want to hear how cool God is?  She had a cancellation and we got an extra hour!  She never has a 5:30 cancellation she said   Yea, God!   He gets the glory!  

Oh one more funny.  J saw the tictacs in the car and ask for one.  I said everyone could have one. She wanted 2.  I took the container out of her hands and passed it back to the others.  She then was happy with one.  Sorry, maybe next time.  Littles enjoyed them.    

Dad brought us home we had a quick supper and got ready for bed.  Long day!

We did discover we have baby peafowl again.  Four more babies.    Now it is mommy bed time!  All be blessed.
