Birthday dinners at the house. So chaotic but so much fun. I love to see my grown children having fun with each other. There's something very satisfying about knowing they still like each other after all their growing up years. I think they bonded while facing their common nemesis...me. Not to sound like a martyr or anything, but let's be honest about a few things. Like it or not, when you're a kid, your mother is not always your best friend. She can say "no" faster than you can ask "why." She can put a damper on your best ideas before you can even get that match lit. Somehow my children survived their overly controlling, often hysterical, not always very much fun mother. I'm glad they have comrades-in-arms and plenty of war stories to share between them.

Lori, I just love your blog! This post especially. It's fun to see what we have to look forward to once our kids really are grown and gone because I hear all too often that it happens sooner than ya think. I bet you were an awesome mom. Just the fact that you can admit that you weren't always their favorite says that. I know a couple who would shudder at the thought that they didn't do everything perfectly and weren't their childrens best friend 24/7..... I admire you! I didn't know what kind of blogs you were looking to hook up with, but if you're into pointless blabbing, our blog is cmm2001.blogspot.com.... Keep the posts coming though- you're a great writer, I enjoy reading!!
