I'm starting to see one of the most difficult things with having children is getting so bonded, and then realizing you have to let go more and more till one day they are off to college, have their own family and that's the end of it.
Its very, very depressing when you dedicate so much of your life and soul to raising them and the time from when they are born to when they leave the nest goes by too quick.

i enjoy the quiet... i work at home and dont leave the house but to go out of town or small errands. My hubby takes the kids out just to give me my house in total peace and quiet... i have the whole freaking neighborhood that hangs in my yard. I also have the hell spawn that creates chaos in my house unless he is sleeping. I am so looking forward to him starting first grade this year... i get quiet from 8 am to 3 pm for 9 months...i truly dont know what i might do..get a real job maybe
