"shoes, shoes, shoes"

I had to laugh at that thought. I think my eldest daughter owns at least 100 pairs. I see that and I think Imelda Marcos. I never had a love affair with shoes though a couple of my daughters do.

I can empathize and looking back I think it was as hard on my daughters when they moved back in as it was on me. We got adjusted to living apart and then had to re-adjust living together. This only happened with 2 of my 4 girls. The other two? They were all too happy to live on mac and cheese and fish for quarters out of their sofas to pay the electric bill before coming back home to live.

It does seem a lot of kids want the security of home but are struggling with wanting independence too.
