Gigi...your kids sound like they're just normal kids. Your D married, right? That might throw things off track for a bit for her maybe. When you're as young as they are, and I was there myself for a long time--heh, went to college while raising kids/married--it's really hard to "know" who you are and what you really want. Just a crapshoot at times it seems for them.

My 3rd D is still out there, sort of figuring things out as she goes too. Dropped out of school, moved around a bit, etc. She's sort of in a streak where she's not talking to me right now...not sure what that's about yet but eventually we'll figure out I suppose.

School for my kids I think was a refuge from all the craziness. They all went away for school except D3. So who knows about what foundation they have except for education LOL. I sort of worry that school was too big of an emphasis and whether they can really "deal" with the real world, particularly the oldest who would shove her nose in books and retreat at times. Not that's a bad thing...it's good she's studious (sp?), but it goes back to the idea of book learning vs. real-life experience too.

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods...I swore last night I was staying away from here, but I noticed this as I was logging off and had to wiz by to say HI \:\) Keep in touch....I lost your email/Rob's email a long time ago with some computer problems. I'll stumble across it though another way.
