And the good night's sleep? Yea, I am always astounded when going to bed before midnight results in me waking up before my alarm. Who knew, indeed! ;) And I thought I was the only one who couldn’t walk like a grown up yet! And the good night’s sleep?

I am still learning to give others the benefit of the doubt. I am still learning how to walk without tripping. I am still learning that a good night's sleep is more effective than coffee (*gasp* who KNEW?) I am still learning that I am still learning. I am still learning to think before I speak.

It's easy to brace yourself for the big "push away" and "cold shoulder" and think that is normal and accepted. I love your reminder that even our macho boys will still need a mama to lean on and be loved by. That makes my heart so happy to think on. What are your tips for being there for your boys even when they don't think they need you? I really, really loved your comment about boy-mamas.
