Looking Back at Summer

 

 

You're his Cheeseburger

Summer memory...Maddie's 12th.
It took a whole day, 8 kids and two adults to make this cake...

WOW, I'm tired.

Do any parents of teenagers blog?  Probably not.  I've never seen one, anyway.  It's too bad, really.  It's an untapped market, I think.  Are there even any good books or magazines about how to spend time with and train your teenager?  Why not?  I guess teenagers are not nearly as cute as toddlers, and they don't say things that are cute or that can be re-interpreted as cute.
There's no such thing as coasting in parenting. Or being "out of the woods."
There's just perseverance.  I guess there could be resignation, but that's cowardly and unpalatable.

But perseverance takes so much energy.  Why do I feel so isolated?
BTW, when does loneliness go away?

KISS II?

Good friends together for a girls' night...recognize anyone?
