Dani and Nikki started school this morning. Drew starts next week and Ashley starts in a couple of weeks. Before you know it’s going to be Christmas time …and then it’ll be May and time for Nikki’s 8th grade graduation. I love this time of year and I hate it. I am sitting here feeling excited for their futures and also feeling sad. The years just seem to be slipping through my fingers.
:: sigh :: The time sure flies, doesn’t it? Each year I go through this. I end up feeling overwhelmed with a sense that their lives are moving faster then I can keep up. I suppose it doesn’t help that “fast-forwarding” feeling when Ashley up and went and made me a grandma. LOL! It’s hard not to feel a bit old and not to feel like time is going by too fast when one of your kids does that, ha ha ha.
I am trying so hard to be sure they all know how much I love them…how important they are too me. That I spend time with each of them individually…and together. I don’t want to miss a single second. And yet…keeping up with the 4 of them is exhausting, lol. I sure hope I am doing a good enough job to give them all a firm foundation to stand on. Sometimes it just feels like I am running out of time.
