No Words of Wisdom

have i mentioned how girls are turning my world upside down these days?  having a 16 and 15 year-old is more drama than i ever expected it to be.  i guess i never really considered that on the other side of break-ups and heart ache is a...well...boy.  and those boys are hurting too.  it's like experiencing high school all over again.  ugh! 

i believe my boys are awesome.  i love them and adore them the way a mother should.  i accept their imperfections and i realize they are only human, but i think they are really quite fabulous.  so i don't worry at all about their futures with girls.  the right one will come along, no doubt.  sometimes i wonder if several 'right ones' will actually head their way over the next 6 years or so.  that's the scary part.  when to intervene.  when to say they are 'feeling' too much for a girl.  we can control the dating and the frequency they communicate etc. but we can't control they way they feel for a girl.  or the way she feels for him.  this is tricky stuff.  i can shout at them till the cows come home that they should just be friends with everyone and not fall for any one girl in particular.  but i come back to the point that they are human.  the heart will feel what the heart feels.  and unfortunately, my heart seems to feel major empathy for whatever their hearts feel.  is that normal? 

anyway- this is uncharted territory for us.  i'm learning as we go.  and it is dang scary.
