My kids say they want to buy the house next to us when they grow up- and then, since there are three of them, a fight ensues because there won't be enough house next to us, to satisfy them- and apparently the one behind us does not count as "next to". I thought it did- but it doesn't.

It's like in every restaurant we go to- when the kids argue about who gets to sit by mom. And everytime it happens I think about how, in a few years, they won't even want to go out with mom- much less sit by her. Poor mom.

My mother says my kids are kind and loving and won't be horrible teenagers like I was- but I think she is just being nice. And then after their teenage years- whether they are bumpy or not- they will go to college, where they will develop passions for things that they will not be able to fully explore in our little town. I can't imagine we have the kinds of jobs available in our little community that will suit three very different children- and then I have to consider their future spouses. How far away will they end up?

At this point I am just hoping we all stay in the same state- but the odds of that isn't great, is it?
