Bittersweet

My sweet little boy has left our room. I can hardly admit this without getting choked up. Quinn is my baby. I am not the type that looks forward to my children leaving the nest. On the days I go to work I don't feel like I can fully breathe until I can put my arms around them. My mom told me once that if a mother does her job right her children won't need her anymore. Some times I think this job sucks. I am basically working harder than I have at any job before so that I can get fired one day. Actually motherhood is the absolute best job I have ever or will ever have.

I do love the idea though that Quinn and Piper are officially sharing a room now. They can start the beginning of their own unique relationship. I truly hope they will be as close as my brother and I have always been.
So I have been searching for a rug for their room for over a year. I don't know if you have priced area rugs lately, but they are ridiculously expensive. There is this company called Flor. They are amazing. Thru one of my brother's random contacts, he found us these flor tiles for next to nothing. So woo hoo, I finally have a rug for their room.
I hope in 30 years Quinn and Piper are sifting thru some guys shed on a dark, cold winter night bickering over flor tiles for their children's rooms. I hope not a day will pass when they won't give one another a call. I hope they will always have the laughter, support and love that I have always felt with my brother.
