THE TIMES THEY ARE A'CHANGIN'
Have you ever noticed how things in your life can change SO FAST? This time last year I was beginning to think I would never see my kids married off and happy. I worried and fretted about them (don't email me and tell me worry is a sin--I already know it) and spent plenty of time in prayer over them. Well now Dave is getting married. Donna was worth the wait. One down, one to go. Then BAM! Kara is in love! Can you believe it? I'm smelling another round of wedding flowers. Rob was worth waiting for too. This is a picture of my two kids. Gorgeous, aren't the?

We moms are weird. I was talking to my brother on the phone last night about Kara and how much I was loving hearing her positively giddy about the new man in her life. My husband came in after I got off the phone. He leaned down and kissed me and said, "Our daughter isn't the only one giddy about it." I looked up in innocence. "Her mother is about as bad," Dave said.

And he's right. There's something in a mother that positively craves happiness for her kids. Suddenly the sky is bluer, the air smells fresher, the birds sound happier. My kids are in love, and their happiness is rubbing off. Friends would say it's because I can see grandchildren on the horizon. That's part of it of course. We had a bridal shower for Donna on Saturday and I got her ovulation test strips and pregnancy tests! LOL But it's not just that. Even if no grandchildren appeared, it makes a mom so happy to see her kids glowing and smiling.

And I'll admit the thought the grandbabies has me almost euphoric. So if you see this woman with a crazed look on her face haunting the baby aisle at Target, you better step out of the way. It might not be safe to approach her.
