My, it is quiet around here

I can't believe how quiet it is around here. And I miss the reason for all the noise and chatter!! Robyn has gone back to Ontario to spend some time with her friends. She is gone for 6 weeks!! 6 WEEKS!!! When did I agree to 6 weeks!!?? And a plane trip on her own for the first time to boot! Am I nuts? Will I ever sleep again?

She hasn't called me much, I miss her!! And when she is gone she will be celebrating her 16th birthday with her friends, and my best friends!! That is so not fair!! The other night she had a sleepover with her friends, and they had a camp fire in the backyard and was up until 6:30 in the morning giggling and having fun. I bet she will be totally different when she comes back home again, I hope not too different!

Tonight I watched Father of the Bride, with Steve Martin. I love, love, love that movie and the sequel as well. It made me think of my baby ( my almost 16 eyar old baby!) and that one day I will have to let her go and it just tears me up inside! I would have my guys live with me forver and ever, nothing would make my heart happier. But I know that the day will come when it will be just Mike and me, and I am dreading it! Not because I don't want to have my darling all to myself, but I love having my kids around. Even though at times they drive me completely mad.

Robyn's plans for her life when she was 5 were to marry a garbage truck driver ( because they can find some neat things in other people's garbage) and live with me and I would look after all her kids!! I think that has changed, though I am not 100%sure!

Don't they grow up fast? It wasn't too long ago that I was thinking I would be changing diapers forever. And now here I sit wishing I could be changing diapers still! Crazy!! I would love to have another baby, but after the horrendous time I had with Devin, who is our miracle baby, I am not sure I have the guts to do it again. It was totally worth all the difficulties and stress I went through ( miscarrying his twin and spending 4 months in bed), not to mention the trauma I went though after delivery. It just makes me feel so sad that they are growing so fast!! I mean, happy of course on one hand, but sad on the other.

I can't wait for Robyn to come home!
