Well, I had several family members fussing at me this weekend for not blogging enough.  You know who you are. :-) 
You know, once the kids were in school full time, I thought I'd have ALL this free time to get so many things done......
I think I may have even voiced this thought out loud.  I'm sure all the moms who knew better snickered at me to themselves.....no one told me how busy life is once they are actually IN school. 
I think I have approximately 2.5 minutes to myself each day.  It's hard to decide what to do with those precious spare minutes.....I've had projects piling up for 6 years now.  Plus add in the laundry, dishes, messes to clean up.  It's a lot going on.  Then there are the days I help with things at one school or the other.  It's crazy busy and going by so fast!  In August, all 3 will be in school all day.  It makes me sad to think I won't have Henry at home with me.  He is definitely my "baby" and I enjoy the time we have together.  He has grown so much in the past year since he has started preschool, and I am really going to miss his little school next year.  Time definitely flies, and so I will try to remind myself to enjoy these moments.  Even the hard moments.  The moments where no one is getting ready for school and we're running late.  The moments where you have to clean up sand from the kitchen floor (true story that JUST happened.  Not sure who thought of indoor sand sets for kids-I'm pretty sure it wasn't a parent!!).  Moments where the kids are fighting WWF style.  Moments where the 4 year old has a full-on tantrum.  Yep, I need to remember to be thankful on the busy, hard days.  Because there are also the times where I sit with a child reading me a book, and as I see them learning more and more, my heart is bursting with pride.  Or the nights where we light a campfire and just sit there at the end of the day.....so peaceful with my little family of 5.  There are those moments at the end of the day where they are all asleep and you peek at them and are reminded of how angelic they look.  My hope is to cherish these moments more, and worry about everything else less.
