Teenagers

Remember when your kids were little and you couldn't get enough of them?  I do. I could have eaten those little girls up.  They were adorable and sweet and cuddly.  You could make things better for them with a hug and a cookie.  And, then they turn into teenagers.  I think teenagers are God's (or the Universe's) way of weening us off of our kids.  When they are little, there is no way you could ever imagine letting them leave your nest.  But, by the time they are ready to go to college, you can picture it, no problem.  You might even feel like nudging them out of the nest. And, they are ready to go. It is the way it is supposed to be.  They are not supposed to be with you forever.  Your job was to get them ready to fly. So, when they start making you a little crazy, remember, you have done your job.  They are asserting their independence. So, my two beautiful girls.....fly!!!! Just come home once in a while.
