Well. I've been putting off sitting down at the computer for some time now. Life as I have known it for more than half of my life is changing rather quickly. It's been what... 22 years since Aaron started kindergarten? Six kids and 20-some years later... Taylor is a senior in high school.
As summer came to an end, I purchased back to school supplies and back to school clothes. The day before school started, I took my baby out for a back to school lunch... all for the last time.
I wonder what life will be like for me after school is out. I won't be a SAHM any longer... hmmm. I guess I'll be a house wife? UGH. There must be another word for it by now.
So anyway. Life as a mom is ever changing. Yes. I realize that. Kevin and I are almost empty nesters... and where will my empty nest be located? I have no idea.
I'm sitting here looking at stack of moving boxes... some are packed with my holiday dishes, pie pans, and favorite coffee mugs. I look around and think about all the memories we've made in this big old house I have called home for the past 28 years....
Well. So much for getting sentimental right now. I don't have time to think about all of this. Goodness, NO. I don't have time to take a deep breath... there definately isn't time to be sad.

So, you guya are moving. I never hear anything, or very rarely. Which I consider a blessing because i would hope i hear the important stuff. The gossip stuff I can do without. LOL i would be apt to repeat it. Your welcome to come and have tea with me anytime.
My next tea party will be in June. After Syble's tea party on her 5th B-day I said I could wait until melody was 5. Guess what.... she'll be 5 in June. Boy how time flys.....
I hadn't heard that you were moving. Are you moving out of town? How emotional to move from your home of 28 years! Hope all goes well.
Aw... some things aren't so well known as other things. LOL Wenona, thank you for the invite! I can't believe how fast your little ones are growing up!
Thanks Gale. It has been an emotional time for me. Anyway... I'm dealing with it as I have to.
Well, things are up in the air about moving out of town or not. We are moving locally, at least for now. After that... well, we'll just have to pray and see what God has in store for us. I'm coming to terms with the whole idea of moving away from family, if that's the plan God has for us. But my mom insists she isn't moving... it's hard. She's healthy for the most part, but you know, she's at that age, when she gets sick she needs help. Just this past year she stayed with us for several weeks. I'm an only child, so I'm the primary care giver. It makes it really hard to think about moving away.
