Your kids are only young once...and then it's gone forever.
> -GracieNope, my kids aren't going to be gone forever. They both plan on building houses on the back acre of our 3 acre lot and mooching off me for the rest of my life! Kidding - actually only kindasorta - the 10 year old now says she's going to move out, but the 7 year old still insists she's going to build back there. I do enjoy them, but I think that people tend to romanticize the past. People used to tell me to enjoy the kids when they were babies. I was beside myself in despair because I did not particularily enjoy the baby stuff, yet I was supposed to and I felt like I was missing something. Looking back, I did love those fuzzy little heads, but it was one heck of a lot of work and I wouldn't go back to that time even if I did have a time machine.
Chris - I and probably everyone on the face of this planet over the age of 18 knows what you're talking about. I just turned 33. I went through a mini 1/3 life crisis several months ago, but got over it. Now it's coming back again ;-) You make me feel old by saying you're old at 20. If you're old at 20, then I've got one foot in the grave. Chin up, young man! (I can say that because I am so much older and wiser than you!)
