Reasons not to blog-

  • Still feeling like school has just begun and I am not accustomed to the change yet: translation......I am still giddy every day when the house empties and I am free to clean mostly unencumbered, therefore I take that option instead of blogging.
  • Took a little long-weekend trip. You know, the kind that involve a week and a half prep time and a two week recovery time.
  • Change of church calling. Switching gears from Young Women's back to Primary Presidency. My absence from Primary was short lived, very short lived.
  • Can't recover from the shock of a few of my children's milestones enough to really want to document them.
  • Did I mention something about milestones? Things like this...
Yes, that's my little buddy all geared up and ready to head
off to Miss Debbie's preschool.


This picture really documents what I was thinking,
which was,
"Ex-Sqeeze Me,
Tell me again why I agreed to this?!?
I CANNOT send my baby away!"
It also documents what he was thinking,
which was,
"For reals Mom, let me go in already!!
Gil and Miss Debbie are waiting."
  • On that very same day, in my very same life....this happened-
This guy had the nerve to have another birthday
and went ahead and turned
15
on me.
Rude, right?

  • It was a day. What a day Mom had!
  • Not wanting to come to grips with the fact that that very same 15 year old came home today with a drivers permit. WHAT THE WHAT!?!
  • I'm sorry, did you read that right....? Read it again. I have a child with a DRIVERS PERMIT. See if you can sleep tonight, I know I won't be. This freak out will last well into tomorrow.

And so, as you can plainly see....
There are a multitude of reasons for me not to blog.
But,
I did any way.
Doesn't that just thrill you all right to pieces?
Just right down to your very core?
Ya, I thought so.

Absolutely, it does thrill me. I was just looking down my list of blogs on my side bar and wondering how you were doing. You must have heard me. So thank you very much, and I agree it pretty much is insane to get old which children have a way of throwing in your face. I feel for you. Just wait til you get to my place where you have a missionary, a driver and your baby goes to middle school. Slightly jarring to say the least.

One of these days I am going to take a road trip up and stop by so be prepared.

And congrats on being an aunt, again.

Silly kids I think that it is a love hate relationship with time on one hand I love that fact that they are growing and delveloping in to adults but then on the other hand do they have to do it so fast? and since mine are the same age it gets a little weird. Time is funny stuff. Thanks for posting maybe I will get around to that some day.

I love that Grant is going to Miss Debbie's. I bet he is LOVING it.

Learners permit, huh?? Looks like I moved out of the neighborhood just in time. (Don't tell him I said that)

Glad you are back to blogging. I will be expecting mucho blogging with all of your free time.

Cleaning, that is what you do with your kidless time.... What is wrong with me?? (or you?)
What some cute kiddos you have. Wishing Grant and Ally could have been in a class together, maybe next year :)

Welcome back to the blogging world :)! I thought I would have all kinds of time to blog once the kids were in school but not so much. The days go by with lightening speed!

Grant looks adorable on his first day of preschool.

Adam looks so much older in his birthday pic. Crazy cuz I see him almost every Sunday. And it is even crazier that he has his drivers permit!! Why do our kids have to go and grow up on us?

I am right there with you, FarmGirl! (Read my post about Dandelion Fluff.) A driver, a recent enrollee in driver's ed, and my "baby" is in 2nd grade. Yipes! Oh, and my "driver" is also a "dater". Double yipes! Hang in there!

Ah. You really have a 15 year old. That is crazy! Welcome back. I, however, have not blogged all summer. It's been a great hiatus.

Amanda said...

I can just hear Grants voice in that second photo AND I can not believe how old Adam looks! 15- that is so crazy!! He looks so grown up. I have missed your blogs, so I am glad to see you back up and at em-

I can't believe you have a 15 year old. I find that a little disheartening. Really.

You must re-use the old birthday bags. I mean, why else would a 15 year old guy get a bunch of gifts in girlie pink bags?
