Popular

Yes! I am Popular, no not like everyone reads my blog popular. No ,No, not that, I am popular in my house.

I am the whole world to every single person in my home. That is five kids. I am the whole world to five lovely beings.

I have started realizing lately that everywhere I am is where they all want to be. When I take a shower, they wait outside the door talking to me. I rarely get a bathroom break alone. When I lay down to rest a bit, they are sure to find me and the bed is full of legs and arms and sweet kisses.

Even if they are upstairs with daddy reading to them and I run downstairs to check my e-mail or blog, soon they are all down with me, crawling on my lap and giving me those sweet kisses again. My man is pretty addicted to me too, but that is really how it is supposed to be, right?

Some times I would like to have a moment of peace, without everyone all up in my business, following me where ever I go (Now I know how Brad and Angelina feel) but then I remember that when you are popular you have an obligation to your fans. You can't be stuck up and expect their admiration without giving back to them what they need- a lot of attention.

So here I stand super happy because they need me, they want me, they love me, I am their whole world. Those days may end quickly as they grow and discover more of the world, so for now I relish in their presence and will continue to give my lovingness to my faithful fans.

Who doesn't like to be popular? I think it's a great feeling to be loved by those closest to you!

It is good to be THAT popular. With my men, they are gettign pretty independent.That comes with goodness too, but the love that you have right now is lacking with independence. Enjoy the love, feel the love and bottle it up if you can. You are way cool and the bestest to those close to ya!

Thanks so much for posting such great things on my blog. It's so nice to be able to relate to some one who has been there and has been then 5 times! It gives me hope and helps me realize it's just part of the job! Come what may and love it, right?!

Watch out Teen Age Years are full steam ahead. But, you can handle it...You have an MSW degree. That should do it. Love you and the FIVE little munchkins.

Thanks for the reminder! I needed that today as my teenagers are in all different places--I'm sure they still love me, need me and want me??!

Cherish it, because they do grow out of it. But I don't need to tell you that it sounds like you do Cherish it, and why wouldn't you with those sweet faces smiling up at you.

Sometimes I feel the same way. I just can't put it into words as well as you can. You have such a neat way of putting things and I love how positive you are (it's true: I want to be more like you).
