You comment made me think about what life will be like when my kids are in their teens and twenties like your sons. I'm sure we'll have our share of misunderstandings. I'm hoping that time invested now will pay off down the road. I don't know how that will work. One of the best benefits from keeping a blog have been the people I've met and learned from. You are one of those people. Thanks again and keep trying with those sons. I know I was a pain in the butt for many years. Eventually I came around. Marla,

Actually, usually it doesn't but tonight it did. Mike, funny how the right example comes to me if I sit there staring at my monitor long enough. Actually, usually it doesn't but tonight it did.

I guess it is like anything else worth having in live when you raise children where the hard parts make the good parts even better. If all we had were the rewarding times we wouldn't appreciate them so much. I enjoyed your blog and laughed out loud at the water down the back of the pants.

THANK YOU again for bringing a tear to my eye and a tug to my heart by helping me relive and truly feel the love in the moments you spend with your babies!

THANK you for the idea: I wish I had written about my babies them back when. They are now 23 and 18 and so very very grown – but only in size…perhaps if I start a new blog to chronicle 'mylifewithkids”- those now fleeting moments will have a place in history.

THANK YOU for maybe helping me figure out a way: hen, maybe there's a chance that my “grown” sons – who so take me for granted and are so disrespectful- which is a heartbreaker to say the least- will catch a glimpse of understanding that I am not a nag or a PITA but someone who gave them baths, wiped their poop, dried their tears and loved them like no other person ever will ever.

Thank you on behalf of your kids – your blog will inspire them when they are grown.

Thank you – my friend – you inspire me!

<drying the tears of joy>
Thank YOU for being there.
M.
