The years when they were babies and toddlers seemed like they would last forever and then all of a sudden you blink and they're almost grown.

I saw it with my 13 year old and sobbed clutching her hand and the more she soothingly said, "It's ok mummy. I love you. We do do lots of things", the more I wailed.<BR/>I SO wish I wasn't so cross all the time. I'll never forget looking at my first baby in his shawl and thinking, 'I'll never ever shout at you'. It's a daily occurence however, fuelled by worry with him doing well in his exams, the girlfriend situation and everything else thrown in.<BR/>The American blogging women just seem to evangalise about being a mom and their perfect kids. Mine aren't, neither am I but I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!Alice Bandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11164647540449246344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-88893359069141334162008-10-01T16:27:00.000+01:002008-10-01T16:27:00.000+01:00Time certainly does fly Sally.I will be sixty-ish ...Time certainly does fly Sally.<BR/>I will be sixty-ish by the time Carter leaves home but I bet it will seem like only yesterday that he was the little Mummy's boy he is now.<BR/>It's hard but you will get used to ED leaving home....I still miss Rosie terribly and Jake is not here more often than he is.
