SIX?????!!!!!!

Kid Catastrophe turned six. There I said it. It's a sad sad time for Tired Mom as her baby girl continues the nasty business of "growing up". Not that I won't enjoy six as much as five, but that just means we are one year more along in her sweet little life. I'll get over my little mope soon and get back to the enjoying every minute bit, but it just seems like there are less and less minutes. Some people consider sucking the marrow out of life to be making life one big party. I consider it to be watching my children grow up. There is no greater joy for me than this. I just wish they would grow up a little slower!
