Tell me what you really think.
Gawd, I dread them getting that big. Selfish of me, I know, but I want to keep them just like they are NOW, forever.
I guess that's why I have my blog and my journals.
It must have been such a comfort for her to know, without a doubt, that you would come for her. I hope I am as good a mom as you when my kids are older.
Oh, and those seasonal geese? Ewww.
I stop at using the weedeater. Too many childhood memories, and they all involve trying to change the fishing line, or unjamming it, or making it longer. I can recall tapping (or was I slamming?) the weedeater on the driveway to do any or all of the above options.
Thanks for visiting me at Michele's today! And my lips are sealed about the barberry bush.
Hi Mamacita. I thought I'd mosey on over from Michele's to say hi at this late hour.
How true this entry rings. My kids are going to be in the house for a while, but I can already see the wisdom in your words (today as always.) I loved this post.
When it's REALLY hard is getting that 2 a.m. call because they're stradned somewhere and need money, and you're 2000 miles away. But they call anyway, because Mom and Dad always fix everything (and TGF awesome inlaws who drive like bats out of hell armed with cash to be the kid's Hero...)
My mom is 82 and she's still the same with her. The slightest thing and she says I'll come over and fix it for you. And I'm here from Michele's.
Yet more evidence that you are invaluable, my friend. 
-G
Put the weedeater in the queue at Cotton's, pour some iced tea and hope the daughter doesn't call. You're wearing yourself out.
lol Last time I weedeated was not a pretty site ..lmao I was taking out everything needed or not .I am terrible with those things .
You are a cool mom
Have a great weekend !!!
...grin...I"m thinking of putting OUR weedeater on our porch now. New trend I can see it!
you're a great mom and sounds like daughter knows it too. one of my kids have now moved out and when when calls for something - other than money...lets me know that she still needs me. it give me a sense of gratitude.
weed eaters are went meant to used by men...at least thats my philosophy....how about putting those two fine young men to work 
hi from michele
I just wanted to tell you that I want to be you when I grow up.
And I seriously wanted to be able to call you a couple of weeks ago when I was mowing my back yard and came upon a freakin' copperhead snake.
I knew you'd handle it for me.
Stopping by to say hello…
THis post, like many of your posts, made me smile. I read your words and watch you do these things in my mind's eye. How do I know what you look like? It's quite easy, you are the kind, loving, bright lady with the warm smile and the small brownie pan.
Yes, I would know you amywhere!
Thank you so much Mamacita for accepting my comment bribe - I truly do appreciate it! Hugs from me.
BTW: Amywhere is the lovely town just south of Anywhere.
Boy you sure covered a load of topics here!! Everything from possessed weed eaters,loving your child to space saving brownie bowls! (oh and of course your lovely seniors)
I would say you're a pro love! You're the topic queen!
Many ominous events occur when Ann Arbor enters the equation...and locking the keys in the car? At our house we proudly claim that this is a sign of genius.
