I have one child, age 16, but I feel like I'm more of a MOM to my Little Orphan Annie, and Shadow, and Angel, and Sandi, and Oreo........... I was never able to have any more children, and I always wanted six of them, so I guess one child and five furbabies accounts for the six I always wanted! But the furbabies ALWAYS seem to appreciate me, whereas the 16-year-old certainly has his days!
