Still Alive

It's funny how as your children get older they seem to think that their life is the only thing that matters.  Don't they realize that we (parents) used to be the one getting dolled up on a Friday night.  That our world was being rocked by someone special.  As a mother I try to remember what i was doing and feeling at their age, it really helps me to take a step back and think about them when they are "out of control" as parents seem to label it (including myself).  In perspective, I think they are doing what it takes to grow up and make decisions for themselves and figure out who they are.
