Morphing into a teenager!

In the last three days Bernadette has morphed into a teenager.  Anyone with a teenager, or been a teenager, can probably relate.  Just let your imagination go just a little and you’ll get a fairly accurate picture.  No offense to teens in general or the one living in our house.  Since Saturday’s bout of intense pain she’s been grumpy, irritable, sleeps until noon, lays around all day doing nothing, and doesn’t go to bed before the AM.  Sound familiar?  ha ha   No seriously, that’s what she’s been doing.  Yesterday she quit twice while we were playing Uno because she was just too tired.  The only attribute that isn’t like a teen is her appetite which was nil yesterday until the evening when Marc enticed her with a couple mini marshmallows and then Mrs. Anhel (God bless her!) came bye with a package of Chicken Nuggets from McDonalds.  She quietly ate three.  Yah!!!!!!!  Thank you Candice, Blaine and family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And very much like a teenager, the highlight of her day, besides the chicken nuggets, was a quick trip over to friends Amber and Sienna’s for a short visit.  She’d confided in her daddy that she was bored and he quickly got her dressed and out of the house to go visit friends for a little while.  The folks at Canuck Place suggested some fresh air and movement could stimulate the appetite.  It worked.

Today we’re hoping she’ll feel up to going out in her Meme and Pepe’s camper for a little while.  And tomorrow is ballet class.  She’s waiting to go to ballet again.  I’m hoping and praying she has the energy to attend at least one more time, but we’ll see tomorrow.   She was given a fancy tutu which she’s anxious to try.  If she does we’ll be sure to get pictures, Sylvie.  🙂
