When the olympics were in SLC, the little door checker security guy was going through my purse at one of the venue' s when he pulled at my tampon. He just shook his head, handed me back my purse and said, "I've seen the inside of too many women' s purses today. Just go on in." <br /><br />But now I am "uterus free" amd loving it. I would happily be the hysterectomy poster child.

In their tender years, they didn't want to believe me, but there was still a bit of fear that it might just be true. At least when I would use that line during their eye rolling, it would make them laugh and discharge whatever was causing the eye rolling to begin with.

I think that would send me reeling for a really big, heart shaped cookie too. I'm like you, so affectionate with my kids, that I think they are too afraid to set limits with me. Or maybe because they are girls. I need to have my hugs and kisses (now on the sides of the face) and they never leave the house without a huge, "I love you mom!" As soon as they come in the door from school, they always run to me and give me a big hug and say "I love you." Usually, right before they are telling me their plans for the next part of their day. I swear, I see them less and less between play practice, cheerleading, snowboarding and Melanie's job as a Teaching Assistant for a Children's Theatre. Not to mention running of to friends houses or now Christie has a "boyfriend," a whole other issue! At least we know the parents and keep them fully supervised. she will be 17 in June.<br />I wish I could tell you things were as great with David and I but the stress is catching up with us. I'm not sure what to do, not yet. It scares me, yet on another level, I feel ready to deal with it.
