    Wow, you're a better woman than I. My two youngest grandsons live nearby so I do a lot of babysitting. When they're going to be here, I make sure hubby is around because it takes two to watch them. They're both ADHD and we're constantly running after them or telling them to stay out of the refrigerator, don't touch that, etc.

    God bless you; you're a saint.

    Phew, I'm tired just from reading it.

    My DIL and 3 little GD (5, 2 & 3mo )were here overnight and I was the one needing a nap this afternoon :)

    My house is the same way. My son and his friends were working on a car last night in our garage. They are 16 year old boys and their cars are the most important thing right now...next to girls.

    I have my 9 year old granddaughter for 3 weeks. She is ADD and although I raised two boys with ADD this one is a handful.
    It couldn't possibly be that I am about 30 years older!
    My best friend told me "There is a reason God gives children to young people. Old people would forget to bring them home when they go out." Like you, I sleep really well when I do sleep. Ann in TN

    Ethan is nearly 14 (Sept). Has just begun to barely take interest in girls. Video games and swimming are their past time. As we speak, I have 6 teenage boys, 3 9y/o girls, and 2 6y/o boys!!!
