• Aug. 24, 2007 - Where Does the Time Go?

Posted in The Mom in Me

For blogging, the year, growing children, no matter what it is, it all goes too fast. My good intentions to blog more often have flown out the window and are now paving roads, I don't know how it can possibly be almost September, and I have no idea how I became the mother of a Senior in high school.

Time is sneaky and vaporous. You can't hold it and no matter how closely you look, it gets past you. At one moment you can hear me bemoaning the lack of time I have to do something and then in the next breath hear me whispering to the Lord that He'd better hurry up and make His second appearance. Time stand still; Lord come quickly. I can't have it both ways.

I have a feeling that this school year will go by like a whirlwind. There is much planning to be done for the graduation party, there are things that I want my daughter to know before "the end" of her formal homeschooling. The last moments of hanging on to her being a "child" are going to be shorter and shorter as we near that deadline. Not that I think she will no longer be my little girl, or that she will cease to learn, but she is reaching closer to her long term goals of yesteryear. They are quickly becoming short term goals and new long term goals are beginning to form in her mind. Goals that will take her away from us.

That's okay, I will learn to adapt. Just as long as it means that in the end, the very end, we will be together again forever and always in His presence.

good plan on adapting. Might as well, ay? I love the blogging on the swimwear. That is hilarious.....true for me as well but still you've gotta' laugh, right? My oldest daughter has one but I haven't bought one for me quite yet. I really like them though.

Do you think she'd notice too badly if you turned all the calendars back a year? That should buy you some extra time at least...

Well, if you weren't such a good teacher you would've been able to get away with it.

I hope you've learned your lesson...

Love,
Marsha

Please don't make me cry :)! I can't believe it either that my little girl is a highschooler now and my youngest son is going to be 6 next month.

By the way, I'm having a giveaway on my blog. Hope you'll come and enter when you find TIME :)!

I hear ya. I officially have 2 in college now. Thankfully, for a short season they are still at home. However, I feel like I'm on that panicked deadline. The plan is that Briana (the younger of the 2) will leave next fall to live on campus (about 45 min. away). Some days I feel like I'm prepared. Some moments I feel like refusing to let her go! Of course, I can't do that, but suddenly I don't know where the time has gone.

"Goals that will take her away from us."

I feel for you. We spend their lives teaching them independence only to have that independence break our hearts. My 19 year old is a 1000 miles away right now. I know it's good. I know it's as it should be, but sometimes head-knowledge and heart-feelings just don't agree. Cherish the year.

The politically incorrect ramblings of a sage rat den mother. As well as thoughts on adoption, special needs children, and My Lord and Savior.

About my Avatar: Tia Turtle is a character in a new book by Gena Suarez, "And Then Mama Said...It Takes Time to Learn to Read." Kevin Collier is the illustrator and he made me my special avatar, because yes, Tia Turtle is named after Me! (Okay, so I'm bragging. Leave me a correctional comment in love.)
