It is now 2 days away from my son turning 11! According to his thoughts he can do anything he wants, According to us (the parents) life for him does not change. I think the challenges of parenting does not ever get easier the challenges just turn to different things and I'm not sure we are ever ready for teenagers. I know I fear those years! Jade has been such a delight that she is not breaking us in very well. We are blessed with good children for the most part. I enjoy being a mother and working, it's the being a working mother that is not convenient. I do mange to accomplish the working mother thing on a weekly basis getting everyone where they need to be even if I can't be the one to get them there the arrangements are made and at the end of the week I sit back with a sigh and think to myself "I did it another week accomplished" until sunday evening and I'm back to planning my week again. So to all of you who are as busy as we are (who isn't) god bless you & good luck.
