I also thing of the kids and grandparents... My parents are young enough to do stuff with the kids, active stuff like going for bike rides and fun stuff and everyday stuff.... Most of their friends grandparents are either dead or too old to do anything. Grandparents can add a lot to a kid's life

the scary thing is many of the parents at my kids school are much closer to MY parents age than mine. My parents decided to retire early and moved out to MN to be near the grandkids. It's great. They babysit or go to soccer games or whatever. But they think its weird when their chatting with the parents at school events and realizing how close in age they are.

the other thing nice about being a younger parent is when Kallie and Miriam go off to college (and they WILL be going, right?) We'll be young enough to enjoy our empty nests!!! I cant imagine being close to retirement when your youngest leaves the nest!

it is assumed kallie is going to college. it's normal conversation "when you go to college" "when your in college" etc. they maybe i can venture into the outside world and maybe meet someone. maybe.

that's sweet but after a nasty break-up with my ex-fiance (kinda kicked him out 3 months before the wedding) well, i think she's been thru enough.

Charity -
You can move in with my sister. She's sooo the cat lady. She even carries pictures of them in her wallet. And shows them to everyone. But she's also the funniest person I know. So you'd be in great company
