The Imp is Back

What a difference a day makes. The Imp was smiling, laughing, and singing at dinner tonight. The first day of school is over and so many of her concerns never came to pass. The change in her demeanor and attitude is striking. Going to Bible Study tonight Hubby commented that is was good to have the real Imp back. Her face is still a little swollen and her left jaw has a lightly visible bruise, but she's okay with that. She ate real food (she'd been living on mashed potatoes, sherbert, milkshakes and jello) and said she was ready to resume her chores. Whew. We were worried that she may never get back to herself. No complaints about dress code and even her realization that she could no longer chew gum at school (her old school said it wasn't allowed but it was a rule never enforced) had her simply commenting that it would be quite an adjustment. No tirades of stupid rules or unfair use of power by administrators. I am more than thrilled and very thankful.
