Insanity Strikes!

I'm a mother. I became a mother at the ripe old age of 21. I'm now 52 with 2 granddaughters, one who will be driving (Lord help us) in a little over 2 years. Now, my question is this.... why, on God's green earth, would a 62 year old woman, with three grown children already, want to have a baby????? Ok, so her 60 year old husband wanted to be a daddy. Why didn't HE go through the hell of the whole process? When the kid graduates from high school, he'll be 78, or there abouts....she'll be 80. Raising kids takes a LOT of energy. Just how frisky are they going to be at that age? Shoot, I can barely keep up with my grandkids, and I don't have them around on a full time basis. Hey, that's one good reason not to live in the same state. :) Twice a year is about all I can handle. This woman either needs some serious help, or the admiration of every woman who has been through the joys of motherhood.
