There is very little that can be celebrated more than having your 9 year old successfully serve cereal to 3 younger siblings allowing mom and dad to sleep an extra hour (or more)!
I am a Carolina alumna, a wife to Jason, a mom to four, & a fairly southern girl. My four: girl, boy, boy, girl. I like shrimp and grits, sweet tea, dark chocolate, the Tarheels, sports, reading, kissing sweet faces, laughing, hanging out with my family, watching t.v., & sleeping late (as if). I don't like...being sick, having my kids sick, mosquitos, dusting, most anything purple, Duke or Coach K, and running an errand that should take 5 minutes, but takes 15 with 4 kids in tow!
Oh how I sobbed with joy when my oldest started showering by herself. It was like being given a pardon on the death sentence of night time parenting.
