3) The Little Prince.

– My school-aged son.

– Total momma’s boy (and I love it).

– Amazing memory. Musical talent. Can build any LEGO set we put in front of him. Thinks he’s Batman.

– Loves reading about Egypt, tornadoes, predators, David & Goliath, Captain Underpants…..(Who is this kid?)

– You know the comic strip Calvin & Hobbes? Yeah….God used Calvin’s blueprints in forming this little guy…..

– Has a talent for wrapping older females around his little finger. Heaven help us when he figures out how to do it with girls his own age!

– Finds his imaginary world much more interesting than real life.

2) The Adolescent Diva.

– My teenage daughter.

– Brilliant. Beautiful. My ray of sunshine (except for first thing in the morning).

– A complete and total Hot Mess, covered with a mane of curls. She appears to be the color commentator for the Drama-Drama-Drama Sports Page at her school.

– Can take the boys down in the Gaga Ball pit, much to the boys’ surprise. Her favorite slogan is “Real Princesses Save Themselves.”

– Very Right Brain-Left Brain. Talented artist. A permanent Principal’s List student, she has the potential to run an architecture firm or win an Academy Award for Set Design.

– That is, if she can ever find her pencil, her jacket, her water bottle, the mandatory note from school, her shoes…..

1) Hubby.

– Married 17 years and counting, together for more than 26.

– My best friend. Amazingly hard worker. Great at sharing parenting. Proud to be his wife.

– Can make me more lose-my-mind angry than anyone else on the planet. The Y chromosome is strong in this one.

– The day I fell in love with him: He took what I considered my character flaws and spun each around into something desirable. Wow, most romance novels aren’t that good!

– Keeps hoping that I will sprout longer legs and a housekeeping compulsion. Sorry, guy.

– Definitely carries one of the genes that gave our children a flare for the dramatic. And he isn’t afraid to use it.

– The man’s as stubborn as a stone, and just as likely as a stone to be listening if the TV is on.
