My home is very modest and old, but I do the best I can. All I can say about kids making messes, big kids have the ability to make big messes. :) I was at your blog early this a.m. and LOVE the new pictures of Willow! Lynn Thank you, Patricia!

If not, no worries. :) I do know what you mean about those kids growing up. It's exactly how I feel. At least we know we should be enjoying it! Lynn Sandra, I hope you got ALL your house cleaned.

But, you did a great job...and I feel inspired to get ALL of mine done today...that would be a great way to start our weekend, I think! And, too, my oldest are almost 10 and I have been feeling really weepy about that whole number because I know that they are NOT 'little' anymore...in mind or body. They grow so fast and when they hit the 9-10 year mark, things start changing from little kid to big kid so rapidly. I know that's how it's supposed to be, but it is so very tempting to try to keep them little for just a while longer....time just never slows down, does it? Enjoy the homeschool conference...sounds like fun!

Sheri, me too! It was so hard for me to leave home for those years and work, but it had to be done. I cannot tell you how happy I am to be back home keeping house and working from home. Michele, I do know what you mean! I could really let it get to me some days, but I remind myself that I did have my time with that and I did love my children -- as I tell them -- bigger than the whole wide world :) There will always be children in the world who need love and hugs and kisses. And, like hubby said, there may be grandchildren! Lynn Robin, if I can only KEEP it that way now!!

I've been weepy and sad and MISS the sweet younger years! I know it's all part of the process..and it's healthy-- but, oh how I miss those sweet younger days. I hope you share your conference adventures with us! And, please post what goodies you find for your children! It's cold, damp and rainy in Michigan!

And I know what you mean about a clean house. It's a tough job to keep everything clean, but I'd rather have that job (being a mommy) than any other in the world.
