I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    I have four teens DS 18, DD 17, DS 15 and DS 13. Hey ho........ It gets harder as they get older.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    It can be worst! Mum and dad had 3 teens (18, 14,13) when they had my little brother (yes,yes,same mum and dad!)-he's now 20,they said that for 19yrs they haven't stopped worrying...And it was bloody hard! They're now alone in the house enjoying a well deserved break after 38yrs of chaos:)
