Mom's don't get to use the restroom in private!

Ha! Mine are 18 and 14 so they don't bother me, but I see kitty paws under the door.

I got a call a few years ago that my son was in a motorcycle accident and was in the hospital waiting for surgery. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I didn't but that moment....

Yup, this. My kids are in elementary school still, and I don't worry constantly, but having that fear as a constant part of my life is so hard. I try to remember that to help cope with the relentlessness of it, because that's also not easy.

I hope your son is okay, PP.
