Boy, were those people wrong. Sure, I am no longer changing diapers and chasing toddlers, but my adult and teenage children take more of my energy than ever. Not a day goes by without several calls ranging from "Mom, I just don't know what to do" to "Mom, how much water goes into the rice." And I can't tell you how happy that makes me.
I feel reassured that, even though I will be an empty-nester in a couple of years, my relationship with my children (and their spouses and children) will not end. I believe I can look forward to more years of, “Mom, how do you…?”
My hope is that this blog will provide my readers with a little humor and some modest insight into the joys of taking care of family.
