This is all that some have for interaction with others.....

You forgot "The Guiding Headlights"

Well yeah, Everybody at the nursing home likes to dance.

I told you I get bitchy when I'm bored.

That's why I like the internet...and chocolate...neither can get you pregnant!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Yah! Four kids is P-L-E-N-T-Y :D

I have 5. They're all grown up though. 8)

8)

whipped cream is good, too.

Yeah, but whipped cream can get you pregnant. True story.

Not me.

:shock:

Wow! I guess I thought you only had 1 daughter!

ok, go get the can...and the chocolate syrup....gotta have my chocolate fix, too...

it's time to get low!

To the window, to the wall...

Love that song :wink:

Actually I had 6, 3 boys 3 girls, my youngest died at tha age of 7 weeks. My youngest daughter just moved out in Feb., she's 22, and the only one that still lives in IL. The other 4 live in AZ, MI, IA and CA. Three grandchildren and number 4 is due in Oct..

There are days that I wish everyone was gone already. But, when I really start thinking about it...the thought of them leaving absolutely kills me! I really do miss my sleep (with a "late in life surprise" that will be 18 mo's old this coming Saturday...it does wear on me). The worst part is...I never have my bed alone! Every night since Doug and I separated, it is one kid or the other that magically falls to sleep in my bed. And they all snore, talk in their sleep. I was trying to get Bree up this morning and she was saying something about bacon and cheese (when she talks, it's mainly about food). Ben will laugh hysterically all night long and Annie g's and b's...just like in real life. It's crazy. On the upside, the baby is finally starting to sleep all night...finally.

Your kids are spread out all over! Did you start driving after they were older or have you always driven?

My Dad had a trucking company when I was growing up, so I got my chauffer license in 1977. While the kids were growing up I worked local, not driving. I was in the IT field, so let my license lapse. I've been divorced since 1985 and between kids and work and other family obligations was kind of stuck, couldn't give up the money I was making. Now I get to do what I WANT to do, not what I HAVE to do. Got my CDL again last year. I still work local for now, trying to finish my year (in January) then I really do want to go OTR.

Yes it is an adjustment when they all leave. I've NEVER lived alone before, but I kind of like it. :)

:shock:


I was two years old.

yes, I'm much older than you. So what?

Wow. Testy, aren't we? :lol:

Nope! I have no problem with my age. I wouldn't go back to my 30's for anything. I'm much happier now. 8)

Sorry I forget to use the 'smileys' sometimes. :oops:

I don't ever want to get to my 30's.

Most men don't. :lol:

:roll:

I never will, thanks to my daughter.

I know THAT feeling...I still try to roll around on the floor with baby D and I regret it most of the time! But that is the good part of having kids...they really do keep you young.

Nope - that's not it. On April 8, 1998, on my 23'rd birthday, my daughter was born, so it is now her birthday, not mine. I am forever 23 years old.

AWW. My youngest was born 2 days before her Dad's birthday. While I was in labor he kept saying "Can't you wait 2 days." :shock:


Someday your knees and you back will remind you that you aren't 23 anymore. Your brain never understands that though. 8)

I was several hundred miles away when her mom went into labor. I had to unload a load, then drive home, then drive to the hospital. Within about 20 minutes of me getting there, she was born. It was very sweet of her to wait for her daddy.

She'll always be my little munchkin, even though she is probably going to be as tall as me at 6'2", if not taller. 10 years old, and she's taller than her brother, who is 12.

The rules clearly state that is allowed.

Girls just grow faster, he'll catch up in a year or two. How tall is she?

I thought my daughters cat was just retarded. She killed every plant in my house. Her name is Gonzo, kinda fits.

About 5'4".

She passed me already! :shock: All of my kids were taller than me by the time they were 10 -12. The boys are 6' 3" the girls are 5'9", 5'7" and 5'5". Oldest boy was 6' in 8th grade. He shot up 6' between 7th and 8th (12 - 13 years old). Their Dad is 6'4", I'm 5'1". How tall is your ex?

cute kitteh! here's mine. his name is paas.

5'9"

They will be tall then. :)

So did you go to Paul Bunyans when you were in the Dells? My kids always had to go there at least once whenever we were up there. Of course that was years ago, so I'm not sure if it's still as good.
