She Drives Me Crazy...Like No One Else....

Today-was a seesaw. I have laughed, I have cried. I felt excited, I felt anguished. My girl and I had Power Struggle #1543. How can I love her so fiercely and wanna knock her head off at the same time? She has always been crazy independant since day One.She's chomping at the bit to be on her own(one more year)and I'm thinking, 'it's no picnic once you get there'...ya know?! It's funny to me, those things about her that drive me crazy,are the traits that are most like me! I guess it's so true we don't really see ourselves. I'm glad my guy is able to point these things out to me and make it so clear. She and I can be at each other's throats and it's one big emotional upheaval, but then he explains to me why I feel so frustrated...and why she is frustrated...simply because we are so freaking much alike. Like rubbing sticks together!
