Default What all do you do craftwise?

In fact, I actually went out and had fun with some friends
the night I was granted a divorce... it was like a heavy weight was lifted
from my shoulders.



I understand that feeling! What a poor judge of character I was.

BTW, 4 years ago I married a guy I had dated for 16 years. We both had
kids to raise and weren't optimistic about a blended family so we waited
until the 4 of them were on their own. Living with another adult on an
equal basis after all those years is one of the most difficult things we
have ever had to do.

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

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

When I married Keith, we both had 2 children, ranging in age from 10 to 14.
It was difficult, and even though the kids are now grown and gone, there are
still issues. However, we decided that we wanted to be together and went
ahead and did it. Selfish? Probably, but if we hadn't done it then, we never
would have.
I totally understand about the adjustment!

Higs,
Katherine

Wow, after living without a partner for all these years while raising
Matthew, I can't even imagine being able to adjust to having to share a
living space with someone else now. I still have feelings for a man I was
very much in love with before I met and married Matthew's father, but I wish
him nothing but love and happiness (with whomever he is with now), and I
doubt that I could even adjust for his sake if given the opportunity now.
Once in a while I allow myself to wonder what it *could* have been like, but
I am settled and used to be alone, without a partner.
