I imagine it's a bit more difficult to be spontaneous when you're caring for three young children. What sorts of spontaneous things did you enjoy before becoming a mum? If you don't mind my asking.
Have you been needing a good shake from time to time then? I agree with that, definitely.
Yeah, all four of us have always been pretty close, honestly. Kathy's the oldest, and she's got three years on me, then James is a little over a year older, and Elaine's a little less than three years younger than me. James and I were thick as thieves growing up, but Kathy thrived as the oldest. Sometimes she would be mother hen, but a lot of the time she was like a guide in mischief. Not that I ever got up to anything mischievous, of course.
