[quote comment="168147"]I cry when even one child is gone for the night. I may stress out, lose my patience, whine about the whining and display other imperfect parent habits, but I miss them terribly and worry endlessly when they are away.
I cannot imagine a quiet, clean and childless house. Weird. I pray for lots of grandkids. Enjoy, spoil, send home, repeat as often as necessary! Am I right?[/quote]
Oh yes mam, you are right, looks like you’ll do fine, you already got the grandma stuff down, and thats how it goes most of the time, Love your writings. Yes btw, grams, grandma, granny, moo,moo, ma,ma any of those names are fine with me, I don’t think they have ever called me Nana,

Kadi, Jessica said “they grow so slow don’t they” I have no words of wisdom, I think what works for one mom may not work for another, Just wanted to tell you and Jessica, and yes I do get emotional, That one day you will set in a quiet house (I promise it will happen) and you’ll say, this is to quiet, and then you’ll start with the memories, and you will swear you can hear the crying, the laughter, the running of little feet, and you’ll wonder where the hell did 20 -25 years go so fast, altho you will be happy that you still have some sanity left, and that they are grown to healthy young adults , that you are not only proud of them, but happy you did not kill them every time they tempted you, And it will be quiet, TOO QUIET, and you’ll cry.

I have to laugh when I read comments like the above. Ahhh…the scent of a perfect parent who knows not the humor that lies within an imperfect parent’s blogging. Eau de smug.

Do you guys have a huge children’s science museum type thing…or anywhere that you can just let them all run mad. Take a book and chill there for a day…every day…Heck, at least they’ll mess up some place that you don’t have to clean up!! And, if they do something embarrassing, just pretend they aren’t yours! Ha!

Good luck!

I know, they grow so slow, don’t they?

Your post did remind me though, I need to buy gifts for the teachers! I totally forgot to do this for my preschoolers teachers. For shame! How will I ever show my face there next year. I can’t even remember if I did this last year. Are you supposed to give end of year gifts or is it just for Christmas or Holiday break? I’m so confused!
