Amazing that they can get us so worked up...I found myself there a few times this weekend with my 2 1/1 year old. I told her at one point on Saturday afternoon that I had changed my name and it was no longer mommy. She was very confused! Hahaha...I look back now and laugh at it...of course the minute afer I told her she was tugging at my leg saying "Mommy, I want you." How do you ignore that??? I smiled and scooped her up of course!<br /><br />Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05411848636365726515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-23672049567560660212013-03-02T21:26:37.912-08:002013-03-02T21:26:37.912-08:00Reg, That picture of chris in the football hat is ...Reg, That picture of chris in the football hat is priceless!

I guess you might say I gave myself a "Time-out" this week, but I am now back in the game! :) I remember when my Philip was a toddler and at that point my husband had just been elected into a political office. Life was crazy and all I remember doing is spending time at the commons park hoping to meet other mothers and make play dates to fill up my time, so I wasn't going stir crazy at home. I must say though, I had it much easier than most people as I spaced my children out so I never had the whole sibling rivalry thing going on! My children are 29, 17 and 10! This made life much easier for me! When my oldest was graduating I was pregnant with my youngest! Well I guess I am proving that I do have some memory! My memory is nothing like your's however. I wish I could remember the detail that you do. Quite amazing! I take all kinds of supplements to help me with my memory, but you, my friend, are spot on!! Time for me to call Dr. Oz or maybe Dr. Regina!! :)Desire To Inspire Allhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095608062007191683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-34308560175620471172013-03-02T16:48:22.471-08:002013-03-02T16:48:22.471-08:00It was so nice to read your post.

My 13 and 17 year old are involved in our high schools musical and they had a 5 hour practice today and I was sitting in my house thankfu for the time I spent with them when they were little ( Iwas a stay at home mom when they were little) because I am starting to realize I don't get near as much time with them that I want. I love watching them grow into young adults but I would go back and start over if I could because looking back it goes by way to fast and i do miss my babies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01428442276620518264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-78122772404875451472013-03-02T13:26:25.476-08:002013-03-02T13:26:25.476-08:00I love all the pictures and the stories.

I especially remember Y2K being a big one! This went on for about two years and I was working part-time for the state, had a business on the side and had to get the older three to all of their activities. During baseball/softball season, I would pick up a pizza from Dom's on Rte 9 and we'd eat standing in the parking lot of one of the fields. Then I'd drop my daughter off and go to the baseball fields across the street. When my husband showed up at the T-ball field, I'd run over to her game! Those were a few crazy years! Looking back on the "hockey years", they were even crazier! Seven days a week between practices and games for the two playing...three games for each one every weekend plus basketball practices and games for my youngest son! Would not change a thing though because we have so many awesome memories and so do my boys! <br /><br />I know I spent times in my room with the door closed crying! Sometimes life was just overwhelming! Then there was my youngest son who never shut up when he was really little. I remember some days closing the bathroom door and covering my ears and saying "please God just make him stop talking for 5 minutes!" He would follow me around all day long, talking!! <br /><br />Oh and the fighting! They still have knock down battles every once in a while and with their sizes I am always afraid one of them is going to need medical attention! At least they don't bicker back and forth all day over stupid stuff like the used to. That drove me absolutely batty! <br /><br />But like you said to the Clawsons, embrace it because time does fly by! My "kids" are not all kids any more! My daughter will be 26 this month! My boys are 23, 19 and 17 at the moment. My "baby" is a senior and will be graduating from high school, which is really hard to believe! So enjoy it all because it is all a part of life! One of my friends asked how I can stand the fighting part. I said my brothers were the same way and I remember having some hair pulling, nail scratching battles with my sisters as well! It's what siblings do and it prepares them for the real world!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. Love all the pictures you posted today!<br />hugs and peace.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666560591613926190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-89471225187120637892013-03-02T09:12:51.148-08:002013-03-02T09:12:51.148-08:00Regina,

I didn't even realize it,I was so wound up from the scream! my kids to this day remind me of it and then they burst in to hysterics...even now 10yrs later...my poor son I hope I didn't scar him!!!<br /><br />Love your post Regina...ALL of them,you are great!!!<br /><br />God Bless, XO Annie143https://www.blogger.com/profile/16933909088655802448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-29398631403306214002013-03-02T06:20:12.230-08:002013-03-02T06:20:12.230-08:00Regina,

My ex would go to Boston for his job, leave Monday morning and return Friday evening. I had an 8 and 5 year Olds plus a newborn. I remember bro.b so mad at my ex for leaving and there were moments that I would be holding the baby while he was crying and the other two fighting or running around like little banshees. I did the same thing, made sure everyone was safe and went to have a good cry in the bathroom. I had completely forgot the doorknob was no longer on the door so I look and there is an eye staring at me through the hole where the doorknob was. That was my moment. I wouldn't have changed anything because the relationship with my kids is so strong. Thank you for sharing and God bless.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15934079687995299985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-3521446082396182472013-03-02T06:19:16.390-08:002013-03-02T06:19:16.390-08:00This post brings back many memories for me as well...This post brings back many memories for me as well. At the time it was all so overwhelming but to tell you the truth, I would have it back again in a minute. Knowing the boy's were all under one roof at the same time and I knew they were safe. It is funny how you wish a lot of it away but when they grow up you want it all back. Had many mini melt downs in my time as well:) Pictures of the boy's are adorable, and that last one I assume maybe of the Clawson baby is so cute!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15354038608830380211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395367767199820941.post-36194641597067384482013-03-02T05:04:41.032-08:002013-03-02T05:04:41.032-08:00My husband also traveled all the time when our kid...My husband also traveled all the time when our kids were young. I remember many of times like this. It is amazing how fast time goes. In a blink of an eye it is gone. Often your posts will bring back a memory to me that had been pushed to the back.<br />Thanks for sharing.

Truth!!! My kids are 6 and 9 I think about all the time with them that I have missed or wasted already. My little one is laying out a card game to play with me right now as I type, so I'm going to sign off. But I love seeing these baby/young pics of the boys. Absolutely adorable.
