I was down when I wrote that commiel..I have a wild heart..living only on the highs and lows... After I wrote it I realized you were talking like a mother who wants more time for herself which is noble... and deserving.. I just could not see that the other day because of a weakness in me.

Frankly, I love the chaos in my life that comes with a full house of family and friends. When the kids leave the nest, I'm sure I'll miss them every day, and I'll find new ways to fill the home. That's just how I've always done things. I’m so sorry for making light of something that would be so serious for others.

You forget how to be around people.. how to interact..but I suppose you mean having your kids grow up and leave home..which is different..
