You want your kids to be their best, but don't want to constantly criticize them. It's a balancing act, and I often fall off from lack of balance. <br /><br />Wow, Anna is nine, and Ruby will soon be nine. One of the things I love about being so involved with the girls' school is talking with parents of kids who are older than mine. It makes me feel like maybe having middle- and high-school aged kids won't actually kill me.

(And she is such a sweetheart. She brings much joy into my life.) But I think you also have to guide her and teach her things as a mom, and some of those may be more difficult to achieve than others.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700753775821511580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-20233004794301346522010-04-05T22:43:12.623-05:002010-04-05T22:43:12.623-05:00I too feel bad that I spent minimal time interacti...I too feel bad that I spent minimal time interacting with you guys. None of you deserve it, but this head cold womped me a good one. I didn't want to be destined to doing nothing. I just felt like crap; and I see you know that. And today, the first leg of the flight was tolerable and much better than expected, but the second and shorter leg did me in - my right ear hurts and I can't hear squat out of it other than an annoying high pitched ring. Hope it gets better soon.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the thoughtful post. It makes me long for you all so.Boilerdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073371677023944960noreply@blogger.com
