I am usually flying solo without the daddybear when I am driving our 15 passenger van that we call the vanbus with our 8 kids. The thought of that may give you anxiety and I won’t lie and tell you that we are calm and collected all the time in the vanbus, but more often than not it is one of my favorite times to be with my kids…
I have found that having a few really really good friends- you know- the ‘know where the body is hidden’ kind of friends is far superior to a hundred ‘lets go out’ kind of friends. I am not saying that you can’t still be friends with all hundred of those people, but maybe they will be acquaintances more than friends at this stage of life. And that’s okay…
