My daughter, I'll call her Cat for short, is not actually a teenager just yet, she is only 12 1/2. But she is going on 17, being her mother has been both a blessing and the toughest thing I have ever done. She is smart, beautiful, talented, strong, opinionated, smart mouthed, sassy, hardheaded, and thinks she knows everything there is to know about the world. Well, all I can say is may God be with me.
