Time....

It's amazing to me how quickly time passes...

You hear that all the time...right? I don't usually think too much on the subject...don't dwell on it. Shit, I can't even remember how old I am without stopping to think about it. So...I don't think about it...until...one of my kids has a Birthday. Then...I think about it. I thought about it yesterday. My son tuned 9 years old yesterday...and I thought "How can that be?"...."Wasn't he a baby just a couple of weeks ago?"..."no", I answer..."he was not".


Nicholas is a very grown up little boy...getting taller by the minute and eating me out of house and home. He is smart, kind, adorable and very busy! He is my baby...my youngest...and it is hard to let myself realize how fast time is going by...and how few years I have left until he grows up and goes out into the world without his Mommy. Maybe I am in denial...maybe I just don't WANT to think about the time...passing. One day I will have to...let go...but for now I think I will just enjoy these years and my peaceful oblivion...forgetting time...passing. I can do that, right? I can...at least until next week...when my Oldest Daughter turns 17!...and in December...my Youngest Daughter turns Sweet 16! Guess you can't ignore time passing after all...just cherish and embrace it!!

It Is Done!!....

My feelings are on a roller coaster today. To start, the closing on my house took place yesterday...my birthday. This was both a gift and a sadness for me. The gift was because it is now one step closer to closing a very emotional chapter of my life...and one less connection to the "Spawn of Satan" (a.k.a. my Ex). The weight lifted from my shoulders is one I am so happy to have gone. The sadness comes from having to leave the house where I lived when my son was born...where my daughters played and grew into beautiful young ladies (they're going to hate that I called them that...lol).

I have so many good memories that my children and I shared during OUR time together in that house (minus "S.O.S."). I am so very glad and sad to see it go...and I hope the new owners will love it and have fun inside and outside (almost three acres) and have lots of good memories too. Goodbye my house :) :(

Now, on to the next big hurdle! CHARGE!!!!
