This is it...

I'm back! I couldn't believe I hadn't blogged since the beginning of summer. Been busy, I guess! Ha!

So we're back in school...my baby boy is a mighty 5th grader- last year of elementary school and I'm so stunned by that. We have many magnet middle school programs in our neck of the woods and if we want to apply to one the application is due before Christmas! So I am being forced to accept the fact that middle school is right in front of me. When did I get so old?

My sweet girl is doing well too. She loves her teacher...adore may be a better word. I love how much she loves learning. I hope it stays.

So life is still busy. I am starting to realize that this state of busy is not going anywhere soon. It's just the stage of life. Kids are in all their activities and sports, elementary schools still like parents to be somewhat active (and, of course, I jump in), hubby is still climbing the ladder at work, it's just busy and it will be for awhile. I am working hard to embrace it, because as exhausting as it is...this is it. Be happy in it; the busy schedules, the homework, the hard working husband, the school volunteer agendas, because once it's gone...it's gone. Looking middle school square in the eyes and having to say goodbye to elementary school years for my baby boy is definitely teaching me this lesson. Today is it, we don't get it back!
