So glad you're able to get away with a girlfriend, too. There are 3 in my life and we get away at least twice a year - usually to bounce ideas around, talk through what's happening to our kids... And yes - it sinks in and they figure it out. It's all worth it. I could make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up with what I went through with my now-23 year old son. However...well...it's worth it. I wrote about Mother's Day on my blog and it doesn't really paint a great picture but it gives an idea.

Sometimes you think that you can't get through raising children (and you have three - one was enough for me). But you get through it. I honestly can say that it was only by the grace of God that Daniel will be 24 next month :wink: ... I am so thrilled that you were able to run away with a friend...girl-time is very important in a house of all males :) Loved the post by Jon - I have to book-mark his blog.
