The dogs run up the hall to the front door, then down to the back sliding glass door. They get so excited when the kids are home from school. I wish I had that same enthusiasm. A day with no school means my house is going full of people in and out of my house. I will have smelly preteen boys playing basketball outside the house then want a drink of water, yeah right! We all know what that means, "I'm hungry and I am a growing boy so I will eat all of your cereal, pop-tarts, and anything else you will let me eat". I will also have beautiful new teenage girls who are just too awkward with themselves for me to watch. I have to give them pointers on how to handle boys, other girls, but most important how to have self esteem and self worth. These girls are so funny, they make me laugh the hardest.
Then I have the girls who are new drivers with the cars that Daddy just bought them. They are the greatest young women in the world, and I feel so lucky that they will even talk to me. If you know what I mean. They are "so" cool, and yet so young. Finally I have the BAND! These are the boys with ages that run between 18-23. My son is the oldest at 23 years old. They have adopted me as there band mom. It is a very high honor, "I would like to thank the judges for giving me this title." I love them so much, these 4 big boys are the nicest boys that know how to make me feel so important. They really do that when I have food in the house.
I would never give up any of the time I have with all of these children for anything. They make me a better person, and I hope that I am able to somehow I make a difference in their lives. I wouldn't be able to do this if it wasn't for my hard working husband. He is a wonderful loving man and I am so blessed.
