Of course, I would...but I'd be a mess. <BR/><BR/>She's let you know she's arrived hasn't she?

("This is your mother; let us know you arrived safely..." Am I bad, or what?!) It really never truly goes away, though.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reminding me to write about the physical sigh of relief I let out when my whole family is in my presence. When you have four that are pretty much independent and driving, there's a PHYSICAL sense of relief when I know they're all home and safe.<BR/><BR/>Elisabeth has always been SUPER self-sufficient and independent, though. Whenever she's told of some hardship she might have traveling, even something specific, her reaction is almost always "I'll deal with it when the time comes and work things out just fine." Often, that's just a matter of being friendly -- which she can certainly turn on! (Oh wait -- maybe that's flirtatiousness that she turns on!) <BR/><BR/>CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918419288660146429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31107400.post-19231567010056392672008-01-29T17:02:00.000-08:002008-01-29T17:02:00.000-08:00Good grief, and I can scarcely stand to let my kid...Good grief, and I can scarcely stand to let my kid ride the bus everyday.
