Ladies, I will never be able to repay each of you for the things shared this weekend on the Training Sons Training Daughters Seminar. As I shared with someone earlier I don't think I have ever had so many emotions flying around at one time. When I left Saturday evening to spend time with dh, everything was just wraping up and I was tired. A good tired, you know that one after a good honest days work, or a day with tissues and an old movie? I slept better than I have in a long time. I laughed, I cried, I choked on my drink, I spewed mashed taters all over my lapttop screen (thanks Robyn & Shani), I was stretched beyond measure, but it was one of those "real good, after a hard work-out" stretches. But most of all, I have a new humble admiration for all of my Talk-A-Latte sisters, the fact that you opened up and shared with me, well I am honored. I think I finaly understand strength in numbers, I not only no longer feel so alone, or should I say lonely, in this big world, but I feel like I am part of a 3-fold cord, crocheted (or knitted for those who can work those things) together and woven into a beautiful garment. I laughed until I cried, and then I cried unti I laughed, someone suggested we put depends on the list of things to bring next time, I may just have to do that, and a heating pad for the sore sides from laughing, oh and a protective screen for my laptop, you ever had to scrape yesterday's mahsed taters off one????
Love ya'll

I should've know better than to read your blog while trying to eat my cereal!!! NOT A GOOD IDEA!!! : }
Thank you so much for being so transparent and, as my hubby said, being the 'disruptive kid in the back of the class cracking jokes' with me! I can't remember the last time I had so much fun all while learning and being challenged.
It is wonderful to know you're not out there alone doing this 'thing' called mothering. It's great to find like-minded people who want to walk with you. Even if it's only for a season!!! If we never meet face to face on this earth, there will definitely be a reunion party in heaven!! : }
Thank you immensely!!!
(((((BIG HUGS))))

P.S. I wonder if cereal is as hard as potatoes to get off of computer screens?! he he he
