You know, I have heard mothers and fathers before talking about how crazy it is that their children are grown. How "before you know it, they are grown and married with kids of their own". Do you remember grown-ups saying that?
My son isn't quite THAT grown yet, but it won't be long and he will be. He is 11 years old and just started 6th grade this year. Middle school. Gosh, it literally blew me away that he had a freakin' locker. A locker. Imagine what it's going to be like when he gets a car?!?! You know, that is only 5 years away.
Meanwhile, my daughter Katy and youngest son Garrett are growing like weeds too. Katy (real name Kaitlyn) will be 5 in November and will be starting Kindergarten in 2011. Garrett will soon follow that. What is a mother supposed to do, when the only thing she knew how to do is raise kids? Having more is not an option for my dearest husband and I. We committed to being done and I have since had a tubal ligation. Besides, it's hard to imagine trying to find housing and transportation for more then 3.
I know that all of this must seem a little...quirky. It just baffles me.
