Aw but you miss all the cuddles and the lifting of an eyelid to see if you are asleep... and the shoping cart melt downs.... and the "I wantto go home" from the three year old leaving grandmas house. That was a heart wrencher... as a single mom he spent the day at grandmas house... But there was the fun of raising turtles and guinea pigs... and teaching him how to read and answering a hundred thousand questions. I always gave a solid true answer if I knew it in terms he could understand....

Why is there a blue dot in the middle of the road
Why is the sky blue
....

I was glad I did it and wish I had had a husband to allow me to at least be a part time mother....
At Thirty four I had stopped waiting for prince charming.

It marks where the fire hydrants are.... and did you know the lines on the road.... the dotted lines that mark traffic are over fifteen feet long .... It depends on the speed limit. I learned that one cruising around as a teen My boyfriend suddenly slamms on the breaks and pulls over to the side of the road and gets out.... I though What The.... He got in and told me... it had just occured to him as we were were going down the road.

Thank goodness no one was on the road because It was a two lane and there was about a three hundred foot decent on the otherside..... Same guy ran over his own spare tire one time...

He drove a baja bug.... He hood popped open on the same stretch of highway... He slammed on the breaks to shut the hood his spare tire flew out in the process and he proceeded to run it over not knowing.... what a dufus....
