Regrets

I told some of my friends yesterday at lunch that I didn't miss having little ones around. I feel differently today. I miss my little ones so much sometimes and I miss having all my kids at home. A lot.

I miss holding their teeny little hands and being able to make them feel better in ten seconds flat. I miss kissing boo boos and having them fall asleep on my lap. I miss knowing what they were doing all the time and not being afraid when they were with their friends. I miss the Lego's and the soldiers and the pacifiers and tiny little socks.

Where has the time gone?

Me too. The good thing is eventually you'll have some of those things back again in the form of grandchildren. We're coming out to TN in a week for Z's baptism! Can't wait!

I miss it too and I am in the thick of it!

Sending you an email, because I talk too much :)

"My professional life has been centered on the home, the well being of the family and everything that these subjects encompass. When I began working in this area more than 25 years ago, the subject of homemaking as it relates to families was largely overlooked, though the interest was clearly broad and the desire for information strong. My colleagues and I soon discovered we were satisfying a deeply felt unmet need."
