My, oh my, where does the time get to???

It's Friday...that means pizza and movie night. It's the most looked forward to night of the week. Next week will be different....I won't be here! I'm going to the MTHEA conference in Nashville!!! I have always wanted to attend a homeschool conference, but never have. We are ending our 11th year of formal education...kinda late to be going to a conference for the first time, but better late than never, right?!

I'm going with some friends and we're spending the night. How cool is that?! Having friends to share things like this with is awesome. There's one friend I am sure praying hard is able to attend with us...for more reasons than just to get to spend this time with her...but that sure adds to my desire for her wellness!

We've had rain, rain and yet more rain lately. We had hoped to accomplish some much needed outside chores this weekend, but alas, rain is in the forecast from today through Sunday. Not cool. We have cows that need to be sold. We have a mower that needs a tire repair. We have things that need doing...and the rain makes them impossible to get done.

I've spent way too much time on Facebook lately....that place is addictive! Add in FarmTown there and I'm hooked!! If only weeding, watering and raking could truly be done by others just visiting your farm. Ahhhh....

As I approach the ripe old age of 40 later this year, I am learning some invaluable life lessons. Some are easier than others. Some are deeper than others. Some are more painful than others. Some are more personal than others.  All take time. 

Right now, life is calling...real life....not Facebook life, not blogging life. Just real life. Like waking my babes. Getting our day started. Doing laundry. Getting school work finished. Cooking. Cleaning. And loving my babes who just refuse to stay little...and keep growing up no matter how much their Daddy and Mama want to freeze time.

Like where are these incredibly cute little faces??? This was a short 4 years ago...seems like forever ago already....this was Father's Day, 2005

And here are those smiling faces this past Christmas...
