Oh how I recognise that feeling. I had a text the other night from the
youngest (almost 21) saying "I love you both and miss you a bit! & she was
most indignant when I asked how drunk she'd been when she sent it.
Apparently she wasn't: boy did I feel guilty for even thinking it!!
Love, higs and sympathy

Hi Christine:

Thanks for the response. I find my kids are human most days but go off on
these tangents, especially my daughter.
I think my son will be staying very local for university as he has
realised
he cannot live without mommy or daddy. My daughter is hoping to go away
for
university where I"m sure she'll fit in very well as she is extremely
independant.
At the moment they are both in their pleasant modes. I spend this time
wondering what they "want" smirk.

sunshine and not too bad temps are upon us again today!

In my experience Donna for boys it's about 17 to 18, and for girls you're
talking about roughly 18 to 19 ( or with either it's when they leave home
and realise just how much you did for them!!)
Love & higs
Christine

Hey! Pink stripes are the least of your worries Mom!(LOL)

Believe me, I raised 2 girls too!(LOL) But they do become human
again.:)

It's gonna be gorgeous! I picked out a Lizzie McGuire pattern for
her,
so she's doubly tickled Nice and simple, so to show off the
fabric
and tiny little bone structure she's got. Plus I'll crochet her a
black and turquoise shrug out of ladder/ribbon yarn.

It's for her to wear to her sister's confirmation this spring, for
which I am making a beautiful white-on-white cotton (DD1 has
allergic
skin and can't wear synthetic fabrics) dress, with a pastel-coloured
patchwork border along the calf-length hem. Simple and plain but
perfectly suited to my dress-hating, jeans-loving oldest girl. I
just hope the pink stripe in her hair grows out by then! If not,
it'll
match the shawl she's purchased
