Mamma Time

Yikes!

The summer is almost over?? Wow – I’ve had it so good not having to drop anyone off at school in the morning. The kids are going to bed at 10pm and lazily rising at 8 am or so. A rude awakening awaits us next week. We did end up taking vacation up in the Adirondacks earlier this month and it was great. We really relaxed. This year we spent a whole day at the horse races in Saratoga which was an absolute blast. Then, we went to a drive-in where we pulled the jeep in backwards and we laid in the back with blankets and watched Despicable Me. Good kid flick. The little one is off to kindergarten and I’ve already had my moment of tears. Why didn’t I stay home from work? I didn’t get to enjoy her as much as I could have. I want all of those days back. My husband was quick to remind me that those days would have been spent out on the street without my income – ha ha not exactly but certainly a tougher time of it.  He says I’m making up my past. I’m thinking it was all rose-colored days spent lounging at the playground for the four years that I did take off when my oldest was younger. He says I forget losing my mind and crying that I wish I were at work thinking like a grown up and making $ to travel, etc. Alas, we are never satisfied with what we have. Well – $120 of school supplies later, we are off to start a new era.
