Not sure how I should feel right now ... ! After 34 years of family home child care, I just said goodbye to the last of my kiddos. He was #124 that I've given daily care too, many from birth to school age. No more State regulations; dirty diapers; messy lunches; overly protective mothers ; missing DD's & DGD's school parties & programs but also no more baby giggles; neck hugs; wet cheek kisses; "show me how to..." and "I love you's". On to my new "business" of hand-crafting tee shirt quilts and making "big people" happy when they see their "memories" on a quilt instead of stored in a box. Just decided... ... I'm good! DGD's will be home from school shortly....
As I told Denise (wonder where she's been ), I have so many projects to get done I'll need to live to be 100 to complete them! Those projects won't "come off the shelf" for a long time...currently have 2 quilts to get done "for profit" ; 2 as wedding gifts for Godchildren; 2 for college graduations and 1 promised for my niece! I worked in our county tax office until DD was born and couldn't bear to leave her everyday. State regulations are getting harder and harder to keep up with; current book is 2 1/2" thick since, as DH says "you have to legislate stupid" in this day and age.
8th grade and high school senior...; you are in for one "bumpy ride" this year! I was in the same situation 15 years ago but one of the most stressful years of my life was 2001...youngest DD graduated high school; oldest graduated college and got married! My thoughts are with you.......!
