for monday

Daughter went back to the ortho doctor.
She has to continue therapy for 4 more weeks.
She also went to physical therapy today.
She said she feels sorry for the therapist
who took care of her today. Apparently the therapist isn't allowed to pick out her own clothes. Her husband doesn't like the way she dresses. He says she shows too much cleavage. He also tells her she's a little fat, and somewhat ugly. So he shops for/picks out her clothing.
Daughter is 17.
"Mom, I was afraid I'd hurt her feelings if I told her the truth. So I didn't say anything."
I asked daughter "what is the truth?" (I know she knows, but I just wanted to make sure.......just in case I forgot to cover the whole abusive spouse thing.) Daughter answered correctly...................... I reminded her it's OK to tell the truth if your intent isn't to hurt.................................I also told her that the physical therapist already knows the truth.....that her husband is an ass and probably undeserving of her..............I don't care how low her self esteem may be..........SHE KNOWS he's not treating her the way she should be treated!....................................and she wants people to tell her ......that's why she tells people about his behavior.............she wants her feelings validated.......the validation helps her find the courage to leave his sorry ass.......................................................................................................................................why daughter's physical therapist is telling daughter about her problems is a whole other issue.

My BR is clean, small, and 97% renovated. It looks beautiful to this Ky. girl.
Tomorrow it should be 100% complete.
Yay!

Daughter and I went shopping today.
As I've said, she's letting me pick her outfits/hair/make-up and jewelry for one set of
her senior class pictures. (do I sound like therapists husband?) I asked her permission. She really did have a choice, and she was all for it so long as she could do the same.
So I have her dress picked out for her "DRESSY PICTURE." It (the dress) kind of has a 60's retro feel to it only it's a 2010 modern dress. Today I was looking for the perfect hoop earrings to wear with it.
I didn't find the perfect earrings.....................but while we were shopping daughter picked up a bracelet and was like "OMG I love it! Isn't it so pretty, mom. Oh my gosh mom........look at it. I love it!" I've never heard her so excited about a piece of jewelry.......
I snuck the bracelet to the checkout girl who rung it up, then put our order on hold until we finished shopping, and I have it tucked away in my room to give to daughter as part of her 18th birthday present. I can't wait to give it to her!

Dude, the guy who ran over son left town.
He was in an alternative program of sorts but my guess is that
he was non-compliant.
He's scheduled to be arraigned towards the end of July.
I'm guessing that since he left town, he doesn't plan on showing for his arraignment.
