For some reason, they think Grandma is cool. Desi called (3-way call) last night to confirm the date, and to make sure we had baking supplies on hand.<br /><br />I let them loose in the kitchen - one time, they made a cake and got all excited about the Wilton decorating supplies, and the cake was adorned with purple frosting and &quot;JB&quot; for Justin Bieber.<br /><br /><br />I guess my coolness skips a generation, because although my daughters liked me, they didn&#39;t think I should be hanging out with their friends for very long.<br /><br />So there&#39;s hope - the grandkids might think you&#39;re totally awesome, and not boring at all.Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02516002280882854450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234944134789039928.post-17603944782466620092012-01-05T10:15:45.886-07:002012-01-05T10:15:45.886-07:00lol. on the other hand i&#39;m struggling to not &quot;let myself go&quot; and i&#39;ve only mother to one. yeah, jammies and unbrushed teeth at 3 PM? completely normal. love this, this is what i have to look forward to, however I hope to always eternally be cool... though my disgust with toms (they look like Chinaman shoes!) and only recent acceptance of skinny jeans indicates otherwise.SupaFlowaPowahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04701501052968627423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234944134789039928.post-4005569172028343252012-01-05T09:15:41.658-07:002012-01-05T09:15:41.658-07:00Yes! I love teenagers more too! I am much more comfortable with them. Mostly because even if they are saying inappropriate things in group, and I have to tell them so, and take away points, secretly, I am giggling inside.Kristina P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16144488639100871226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234944134789039928.post-86304096619056119952012-01-05T08:16:08.848-07:002012-01-05T08:16:08.848-07:00They have a &#39;not so needy&#39; stage? So looking forward to that! Right now mine are congregating around the computer. The baby wants a bottle (I think), the 3 year old wants attention, the 5 years old wants a sister to play with, the 8 year old is wondering where her toothbrush is (they got up two hours ago....she is just brushing her teeth now?) and the ten year old is trying to read and wants me to take the baby so she can have quiet (we are in the living room - last time I saw ten year olds have legs to move her book and herself to her room.)<br />Funny thing is, I love it. <br />Happy New Year!Toniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14238316503113492400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234944134789039928.post-12615688542786585222012-01-05T08:07:20.377-07:002012-01-05T08:07:20.377-07:00I love the graphic!

How can I ever be a mom to teenagers when I don&#39;t feel like I&#39;ll ever really grow up? I mean when does that happen really, I want to know.<br /><br />Just kidding, at this point with all my grey hairs I&#39;m totally faking.Riahlihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08525310321786184469noreply@blogger.com
