I miss having my kids close by, and I love them to pieces, but I also LOVE having more room in the nest and more time for myself.<BR/><BR/>During those years it was really important to remember to be grateful for everything as it happened. Now I'm just grateful that there's less to be grateful for, you know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668957788371173816.post-32692995903347887312007-08-10T06:27:00.000-07:002007-08-10T06:27:00.000-07:00I found myself teary-eyed.

Very moving post- I feel ya - It's strange how life works- I know I will miss these chaotic years desperately when our kids grow up and move away yet some days I too fantasize about being 50 with adult children and find myself realizing that it will be here before I know it. Then I come full circle and tell myself to embrace the chaos. I guess the grass will always be greener. I TOTALLY identify with this post- love it.Kimberly Lightfoot https://www.blogger.com/profile/01241519596443707783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668957788371173816.post-54266317235187253152007-08-10T06:10:00.000-07:002007-08-10T06:10:00.000-07:00OK, so now you've put Bossy back to bed for the we...OK, so now you've put Bossy back to bed for the week.

You wake up on the couch with the TV on and somehow you went from the 6 o’clock news to the 10 o'clock news not remembering how you got there - then you go to bed, in your own suite (another word for a different bedroom) because she snores like a wounded bear or do I snore, one of snores and an Olympic free style wrestle occurs over the sheets because body temperatures go flinging out of control. We got two temperatures in our house, too hot or too cold. Let me know if it gets too hot for you so I can make it too cold. Finally, you’re most important discussion of the day is what to have for dinner. A glass of wine drops you for the count - for a week.Audubon Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01416502283861536402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668957788371173816.post-4550650411732324802007-08-09T13:58:00.000-07:002007-08-09T13:58:00.000-07:00I love this.
