Summer?????........

I know, I know, you don't need to remind me that I am severely falling behind in my blogs, it is what it is and I have been at a loss for words lately.  Seriously, who knew that would ever be a problem but it was.  So for those of you who are behind on the times here is an update.

In January I turned 28 for the 12th year in a row, you do the math and sometimes I can pull it off.  In May I took a position at Hope Haven and I love it, it is truly a very fulfilling job but it is also a change for my family who was used to having me home 24/7.  In all honesty, I do miss getting to stay at home with my kids and I miss all the children that came to my day care but it was time to move on.  May also brought the graduation of Dylan, my oldest son. Time moves so quickly, I can still remember the day I brought him home from the hospital, and it seems just like yesterday.  In June I brought him to the Army national Guard Recruiter as he was being sent to AIT for a year and for that year he will be in San Antonio, Texas.  I cried when I dropped him off and I normally don't break down.  I am proud of him and I wish him success, the success I never had, the world is his oyster and I want him to succeed at everything he dreams of.  The rest of June and July were a blur as I finished classes I had to take and I got used to my new job and hours.

Now, here we are in August.  I can not believe how fast everything goes.  I  am a little older this year than last and I am still working on trying to get in shape ~ didn't happen before Dylan graduated, maybe in time for Taylor's graduation this May.  This time next year I will only have one child at home, Kevin.  Poor boy, he thinks I am neurotic now, just wait until he is the only one home.

It seems like just yesterday I was 21.  I still feel 21 at times, there are other times when it comes all to clear that I am starting another phase of my life.  Where did the time go?  I went from staying out all night with friends to waiting to see if my kids make curfew.  I truly love where I am in life but holy smokes, my youngest baby is 13!

Oh well, I guess the alternative to aging is death as that is the only thing that truly stops the hands of time is death and no one wants that so I am content with where I am right now.
