e coo

Wow!  It's been 4 years since I've blogged.  To be honest, I'm glad I didn't and wish I had all in the same breath.  I'm glad I didn't because I am hoping that meant that I spent more time doing life than writing about it and I wish I had because I would remember more things that have happened.

You see, I am at a new place in my life... my oldest has flown the coop, #2 is about to graduate college and my baby girl is almost half done with her college years.  I spend more months out of the year with an empty nest than I do with a few birdies left.

I wish I had known these things:

• the last time I would breast feed my baby
• the last diaper I would change
• the last time I would get a babysitter
• the last time I would hold each of my girls in my lap
• the last time one of them would reach up for my hand to hold
• the last time I would read a bed time story
• the last time I would say "let's go potty before bed"
• the last time I would be able to kiss away a boo boo
• the last time the "suffrin rag" would be used
• the last time I would get a wet sloppy kiss from them
• the last time I would be their hero
• the last time I would be cool in their eyes
• the last time I would have all the answers
• the last time I would call them all to dinner
• the last time I would give them a ride somewhere or pick them up

the list could go on and on...
