It's always something these days, I'll tell ya. And I am pretty sure I have blogged about it before, but really, when did life get so crazy!?!?

Coming off of a wonderful long weekend at camp, that can sometimes be crazy itself, and less than relaxing, but this time was heavenly, we end up at a doctor's appointment where Devin is sent for x-rays and a knee immobilizer. Just to be sure, yeah, but still. I could have stood for a slip/twist of the knee that was just a slip/twist of the knee. But no. Sigh. Then, we apparently have a follow up with an orthopedist in Syracuse next week, again, just to be sure, and because ligaments are tricky. Oh well, add it to the list of fun and frolic that always seems to be on our doorstep these days.

At least all this doctor running means Tim is bringing home Oswego Subs for dinner.
It's the little things.
Has to be the little things these days, as the big things are starting to PISS me OFF!

Oh glorious summer like day...how I wish you could go on, and on, and on. This time of year is such a struggle for me. Change. I love it, and hate it, all at once. And much much change is on the horizon. There are endings and beginnings a plenty, and while my work life revolves around them, in that they happen every year, with a new class and all, year, after year, after year...and you would think I would get used to them, somehow it seems, I don't. Perhaps it is because the changes, the endings, and the beginnings are magnified these days by my own children.

Next month,Gwynn leaves me behind in the Elementary School, forever, and Devin heads to High School, a mere 4 years from College. They are becoming real PEOPLE before my eyes, and I am humbled to think I have raised two people I am proud of, and enjoy, as much as I do these two. But still, when I sit back and think on it, as I did a great deal this weekend, I can't believe how fleeting it all is. When you have a child, you can't believe, and in my case, resent, how your life has changed forever. Now I can't imagine life any different than it is right now. It is perfect, it is a dream. And I know when I was the age they are at, life seemed to crawl at a snail's pace. Each year went on, and on, and on. But now, I know, each year is but a blip on the radar...each year flashes by at the speed of light, of life, and I intend, somehow, to slow it all down, to take it all in, to savor every moment. To be thankful for the happy little family I have worked so hard to create. To love.
