End of Summer

I know I just wrote a post about this a few weeks ago but tomorrow it is official.

Maybe I am a freak of nature but I am sad that summer is over. I am sad my kids are going back to school.

My kids are great kids. I enjoy being home with them. They really are good kids. It has been so nice to have no where to be. At a certain time. Or a certain date. No alarm clock. No running around in the morning to get to the bus. Lunch whenever we want it. Not at a certain time. Pool. Playground. Bikes. Whatever. We did it. Whenever. Time just goes so fast. Where did my babies go?? I have a 6th grader! A 6th grader! a middle schooler. How did that happen?? Where did my little baby boy go?? And a full time kindergarten girl! Where did THAT baby girl go?? She is now missing some teeth and riding a bike and reading.

 Lucky for me, I still have my bonus baby at home. But in just 3 short years, she will be leaving me.

I am so glad I started later in life and had my babies later. I have so much more time with them and can appreciate them more than I would have in my 20s. Being in your 40s with a baby really is a blessing. She keeps me young. And happy.

But I will still miss her brother and sister.

Only 9 months until Summer 2012.
