I hear the recovery time is a little longer than when you become the mother of an infant. |

 At least I don't have to deal with the exhaustion from lack of sleep!

Sit back and take inventory of the increase in food bills. And shoe sizes. It is actually kind of interesting to get to understand the teenage logic. Enjoy these years, they can be trying, but they are gone all too soon.

Em, the fun is just beginning. And for the record, teenage daughters are worse. Much worse.

Heh. Hee hee! You don't have to wait till he starts driving- start worrying now it'll save time later.
Happy birthday Sean, and M., good luck with the project. Cuban rum does wonders for your parenting skills when teens are involved. |

Just wait until Erin turns 13 though....
