Thank-you for sharing. Your children are blessed to have you as parents.

Hannah has great plans for her life and they include me, as her mother. My job of raising children may be over but now I have the job of guiding them as they start their independent lives and move on to make their own homes and families. <br /><br />And really the best part is that in just 10 weeks, after 18 years of doing the school run every morning and every afternoon (such a long time), I won't have to! I have no idea what I'm going to do to fill in that hour and half I'll get back each day, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to think of something :)Cath Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982092492622482815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-11666976230723929062013-08-15T22:38:09.924+10:002013-08-15T22:38:09.924+10:00Cath, that's so sad and yet so exciting.

I think she'll need an expanding file just for her school reports - there are so many.Wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-85864666500341816242013-08-15T16:37:58.434+10:002013-08-15T16:37:58.434+10:00What a wonderful idea.

And my younger two have changed to an expandable folder. It's an exciting time for them being responsible for themselves. I hope Hannah had a great birthday.<br />Cheers JanineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
