The other day, we (the kids and I) were sitting around the dinner table attempting to eat a meal. The XO has a relatively new job, which he moved into in the middle of an intensive training cycle, so if he's home by 7, we're pretty happy!
Anyway, Baby Girl was chattering in my ear about her day at school, Sweetie was up and down from her chair, alternately shoveling food in and terrorizing the dog and/or cat while screaming for the sheer love of making noise. Pumpkin was in my lap, doing her very best to grab a bite of my taco. I recall taking a deep breath and saying, "WHAT am I going to do with all these little girls?" To which Sweetie promptly stopped screaming to answer, "Keep us ALL!" I smiled and asked, "Then what will I do with you?" To which Baby Girl glibly replied, "Let us grow until we're big enough to let go."
How right you are, Baby Girl, how right you are. Unfortunately, I have a feeling it's not going to be that easy.
