Parent's are always full of selfdoubt as to the job they are doing. My concern is that they have time to just be. Just be free, just be a kid while it lasts. They have chosen their activities and we have supported rather than pushed, so they seem to have it all balanced in a positive way.<BR/><BR/>DPR,<BR/>15 miles to the nearest town.

My dishwasher is rebelling because I keep treating it simultaneously like a garbage disposal.<BR/><BR/>When Abby was playing basketball and lacrosse and Dan was touring with the high school jazz band life was chaotic and hard to put on a schedule. I'm with Zanne- it gets very quiet all too soon- so holidays when they pile in from college are great.<BR/><BR/>20 miles- you're out there! That's a lot of driving.

It won't be long before they're in college ($$$$) and scatter to the four winds, so enjoy as best you can while it lasts. <BR/><BR/>Four several years my kids were in competition level gymnastics, practicing three days per week - of course DIFFERENT days! We live way out too - it's 9 miles to anything and almost 20 miles to the gymnastics place.<BR/><BR/>It's pretty quiet and lonely when they leave.

At my former job, when I had to host "tours" for local grade schoolers, I always wanted to spray their little backsides with a dusting compound as they came in the door, because invariably, they ended up scooting through every bit of accumulated dust in the place!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-1133440900587068902005-12-01T07:41:00.000-05:002005-12-01T07:41:00.000-05:00What a good dog!

She was sort of minding her own business, laying on the piano bench in the sun, and I thought why not. No more dust on that piano bench!Thunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02451216620261659383noreply@blogger.com
