Sisters

Yes, this is an older picture of my sisters and I, but I still like it much to the chagrin of our mother.
.
Today was one thing after another reminding me of my sisters. It started with an Nsync song on the radio on the way to work, Nickel Creek and 5ive on the ipod this afternoon as I baked bread for the week.
.
I got a coupon for Easy Cheese in the mail and an obnoxious person running through the aisles at the grocery store today made me think of them, all three of them and wistfully think back on the times before kids and life entered our relationships. Time and distance hinder us from seeing each regularly. Robin and I see each other about once a month since we live an hour or so apart while Jessica and Rachel live in the same town and can see each other more regularly.
.
I miss the days of kicking the boys out to play video games we didn't understand, eating the good food we had hidden from them, watching dad turn purple, peeing on the stairs and making up weird songs. We aren't sure how to be grown up sisters I think.
.
I wish we could figure it out, we are stronger together than we are apart. And these boys are going to start to think they are in control in the family...heaven forbid! haha
