Your gonna miss this...

 Your gonna want this back, your gonna wish these days, hadn't gone by so fast... These are some good times so take a good look around. You may not know it now, but your gonna miss this.

 Its true. Every now and then, take time to step back and realize what all you have. What you might not have tomorrow, even what you have today, its going to change and could become something else. The love you feel, the way your wanted and needed and appreciated. The way YOU want, and need and appreciate. It all changes with time. Its crazy.

 I can remember when my kids were little. I had several little kids at once. 4 children in 7 years? Yeah they were close together. I remember having to take all four to the store. The tantrums, the please moms, the baby is hungry and where can I hide to feed hers, the boy lost his binki where is the kind he likes open it now, buy it on the way outs... I never once back then thought to myself  "One day my kids will not want to go to the store with me, and I will wish they did" Or "One day I'll wish tantrums, lost binkies and places to nurse will be SIMPLE problems"

 That day has come though. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE that I can now leave, and run to the store for milk without first finding 8 shoes, socks, 4 outfits, a binki, a blanket, buckling up, car seats and waking someone up from a much needed nap. I love watching my kids grow, and seeing them have opinions and ideas and friends. I miss though, being all they knew, all they ever wanted, all they ever needed. I miss being so much a part of their lives. I miss being needed so much... Although back then I remember wishing they were not so needy.

 Its crazy how things work. So today I would like to notice that I too will miss this. The teenage fits, the boyfriends, the messes not cleaned up after, the buying school supplies and first days and new outfits and shoes and back packs... I know 3 years from now I will be looking back missing this too. So I will try my hardest to cherish it, and love it, and put up with it.

 I have four awesome children. Who love and learn and grow every day. I am a lucky mom. I love my babies!

 Why is it when you do something wrong, people will point it out, over and over and notice every detail, but the things that you do right... They go unnoticed for ages?  Training at work this week has been tiring. I have been super busy so its hard to actually train someone... I have to get my tables taken care of. I have the kids just getting into the swing of things with school, and training myself to go to bed early has proven unsuccessful. I basically feel over worked and under slept. As I mentioned on facebook I think there are plenty of hours in the day... I need more hours at night, to work with....  Kids are all adjusting well to school life again. Still going to sleep easily at night, which I know wont last so I am enjoying it while I can. I cannot believe I have a child who is a sophomore this year. I am still not believing that actually.  Tomorrow is super busy, we have Dr visits, I have blood work done, Girl scout meeting to attend and then a split ...

The pitter patter of little (annoying) feet!

 I remember when my kids were little and innocent and said super cute things. It still happens sometimes, but not nearly as often. They no longer pitter patter, they clomp. Things change, kids grow.  Luckily I still have my little neighbor girl Adriana. She comes over to play with the big kids quite often and is almost always a hoot. From taking her to the "lime berry" to just silly things she says. Tonight was one of those nights.  I have not slept much and wanted a nice relaxing bath... As I am headed in there, Adriana asks me what I am doing... I tell her I am about to take a bath. "can I take one with you?" Uh.... I have  a vision of myself as Micheal Jackson...No baby, you cannot take a bath with me.... So I am in the tub, and after a while Tim came in to bring me towels... So he was in there visiting with me, and Adriana knocked and asked if she could come in... Tim told her no. "Why? Because Clorie is NAKED??? What are YOU doing in there TIM!?" ...
