Perhaps for our daughters their freedom ends as summer closes and school begins.
Days are no longer simple. There is a strict schedule to be followed. It's funny that my sense of it all is the exact opposite. As a new school year commences I can't help but feel an abundance of FREEDOM! Some parents shed a tear or two as they watch their children disappear into the throngs of buzzing students. Sometimes I want to say to them, "Have more children. Then you won't feel so bad." I do miss the girls...most of the time. I wish they were home to play with our boys...some of the time. Most of all I am excited for their return after a day's worth of learning so I can hear all about it! For me, the best kind of mom is the one who teaches her children to fly and holds back the urge to clip their wings when they're ready for take-off.

Gain experience and learn, learn, learn!
