Still clueless in NJ
Still poking around trying to figure this out. Just put out a profile. Thought I should explain the A.U.N.T.T.T acronym: Auxilliary Unit for the Nuture of Toddlers Through Teenagers. I don't have any kids but my sister had 5, now has 2 grandkids under 2 years old, and my best friend had 4, no grandkids yet. So a very strong part of my self image was being an Aunt, which meant/means not only playing with the urchins but helping the parents and backing them up: "What did your mom just tell you to do?" When the urchins reached late teenagerhood, the connection seemed to vanish into thing air and hasn't quite rematerialized now that they're becoming Young Adults. So other interests are growing: sending packages to troops overseas. (Check out www.anysoldier.us Please,Please Please!) Have a bunch of other blogs I check out but haven't figured out yet how to do the "blog roll" then. Oh well, one step at a time and don't be afraid to fail. (One of the most important things the toddlers taught me.)
