About Me

I am a not yet 55 year old woman married for 25+ years, 4 kids, 1 dog and 1 cat. The kids are beginning to leave home. One is launched, one is in college and 2 are still at home. As a couple we are entering the final stage of our parenting journey: the teenage years and beyond. We are starting to dream and think and plan for those years when the house is quiet and it is just us once again. Please join me as I explore what it means to grow older with adventure and grace.

I am Jealous of My Daughter

DateTuesday, March 18, 2008 at 04:49PM

It happens to every mom with a teenage daughter. You love her to pieces but one day you look at her and realize how unfair it is that youth is wasted on the young. She doesn’t have the wisdom or experience to appreciate the advantage that youth gives to her. Oh, if we could just have the time back, to know what we know now…. we would savor life instead of carelessly letting time slip away. Then the though strikes, “My gosh, I am jealous of my daughter!”

My jealously is aroused most nights at 10:30. She fires up the coffee maker to enjoy a mug of fully caffeinated coffee before she goes…. to sleep.

Sigh.
