I on the other hand, am energized by people. <BR/><BR/>It has been a challenge for someone like me to be the kind of a mother she needs me to be. I do all of the "basics" but "relating to her" has been where I have struggled. <BR/><BR/>It was hard driving to school in silence. I, who had been up for 3 hours and had had 3 cups of coffee was eager to chat and visit. She would just sit there, quietly and not engage in conversations. I finally realized she wasn't being rude or surly, that's just her temperment. A 2 week vacation with all of us in close proximity, puts her into overload. She would go sit in the van by herself just so she could get away from all of us and recharge her batteries.<BR/><BR/>The other 3 kids, why we're all pretty much the same! I had to really work hard so that I wouldn't short-change Laura out of quality time!<BR/>ConnieConstancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748558090320737035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-75726006958093263352007-05-26T07:00:00.000-07:002007-05-26T07:00:00.000-07:00AMEN!

I have enjoyed my family much more now that some of my kids are older and they are in school. It gives me that quiet, down time that I crave. Summer, however, is a different story! Quite...noisy!mom25https://www.blogger.com/profile/11800942743736969387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-81275769777180236222007-05-25T22:46:00.000-07:002007-05-25T22:46:00.000-07:00Sing it sister!

It took me a decade to realize that when he was talking about something he wanted to do, he wasn't *really* going to do it, he was just *thinking* about it (out loud, as it turns out). Oy! <BR/><BR/>And the kids, well let's just say I hear you there too. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the middle of that song from Godspell, the one where Jesus is singing one thing and Judas is singing something totally different, and they keep speeding up...Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297237900094898777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-55171744390681418972007-05-25T09:50:00.000-07:002007-05-25T09:50:00.000-07:00My suggestion to you would be...this would be an e...My suggestion to you would be...this would be an excellent time to go "bite your pillow"!!
