So I am going to skip over the "things change/nothing stays the same/people come and go/how the hell can you tell who your friends are" bit. Because honestly I do not care to give that miserable thought process a chance to evolve and change my mood for the worst. I will say this. Life is funny, and sometimes, just sometimes, you find out the things you thought were So Important to you can completely fade from your life in a blink of an eye. And there is nothing you can really do about it.
Anyway. Monster S had her Kindergarten Kick-off the other night, which is a fancy way of saying we got to tour her school. It was amazing to see her in that setting, so grown and so eager for this stage of life to begin. My daughter, the Devour-er of Knowledge. Husband and I had to marvel and laugh as we walked through the halls of the place our children would be spending a majority of their time for the next 5-8 years. We are parents. With a child starting school. That day has (almost) come! Once it begins, there is no turning back. No end in sight of schedules and calendars, and helping with homework. Routine must happen and it must happen soon.
The girls begin t-ball in approximately two weeks. Now that I have a vehicle, our whole world is kicked into high gear. I can not wait to go to practices and games, and heaven help me, I must buy some sunscreen! I cannot wait for the pools to be open and my nieces and nephews to be out of school. I am ready for summer gosh darn it. I want to be busy. I want to be kicked back in the sun watching all my kiddos playing outside. Lord help me I've turned into a full fledged MOM. It happened when I wasn't even looking.
Ah well, I guess that means I should go tackle the laundry. My kids might need actual clothes to wear.
