August 14, 201412 yr i did all that stuff you guys mention....for 27 years in a row!! I played the role of both the mother and many times, the father too (sports, activities, coaching sports in had no business coaching) I'm done now.... :) and I love it haha I have great memories of my kids growing up and I can say I really never took it for granted..always appreciated that some day they will grow up and move out and my house will be quiet. Maybe that's why I am handling this empty nest thing well. I have the memories....I don't need them in real time. It's time to make new memories now :)
August 14, 201412 yr Kudos Babs. I'm the clingy parent type, I mean my girls are perfectly independent...the mama, not so much ;)
August 14, 201412 yr Lol. Marti. Probably more than likely because I had 2 kids by the time I reached 20 My friends were off at college having fun and I was busy changing diapers, going to school and scraping money up for rent. It was never "my time". So, now it is. I never wanted to be that parent that waits around for their kids to call or drop in. I want my kids calling me saying. "Mom...are you free Saturday?" Lol. I love my kids but while they are off living their lives..I plan to do the same. That just makes the time we do spend together that much more precious and appreciated.
August 14, 201412 yr 2 kids by 20, jeez that's so grown up! I can't be sure but I think someone was probably removing me from a ditch or something at 20 :) But it's Chrispy's post so I'll walk away chuckling about my former years :)
August 14, 201412 yr I feel like wrapping myself up in a blanket today... eating bon bons and watching Beaches. Just jokin... and Bakon... I eat people like you for breakfast :o Folks who try to act too manly are usually the ones that are the biggest p*ssies. Just like the dudes that always talk about having the biggest willies... usually look like scared turtles... ya hurd? Marti...I tell the familly that I have been reduced to 4 functions in life... 1. I carry stuff 2. I wait (wait on kids ...wait on wife)... I wait alot 3. I fix the broken shit 4. I drive... I drive everyone everywhere. Keep on keepin on. I feel cheated. My husband only does 1 & 4 and not even very well!

August 15, 201412 yr Author Good Morning/Afternoon all. Well... the boy is off to his first day in high school. I am alittle distraught... but not as bad as I thought I would be. He was nervous... so maybe I had to keep my cool for him. It is all good now.... the next phase is underway. PS. Seriousness for the day is complete... please continue with the dirtiness.
