Been a while since I posted. Life is always busy, but I find myself having a hard time with my children getting older and more independent. A thirteen year old who thinks he is twenty and a nine year old who thinks she is sixteen. Parenting is very hard. I love my kids with all my heart but sometimes they drive me totally insane and over the edge, and every day I cannot imagine my life without them. I know that this is all part of the process but, nonetheless, it is so very difficult.
