Over.

I just got home from dropping Little Miss off at school. I had to fight back the tears as I drove away. It is her last day of Kindergarten. My baby is growing up and I am not ready. I realized this was my last day of morning with just her and me.

Little Man is finishing First Grade. He is thrilled. I am not. I am not ready for him to be THAT big. THAT old.

The school year is over. over. over. And Summer begins. I am thrilled that Summer is here. We are ready for a fun summer. I am hoping this summer is slow. I want each day to drag on. I don't want summer to fly by. I am already dreading school in the fall. I plan on enjoying every minute of summer swimming, biking, playing, laughing, running, jumping, swinging, painting, drawing, catching guppies, playing in the creek. Just having fun and making memories with my children.

Here I sit. Wiping a tear. Wishing that the clock moved slower. Wishing I had just a little more time. Wishing I could do it all. Wishing I was always the Mom I mean to be.

Just remember that each phase brings blessings and challenges that the previous one didn't have. Enjoy your summer with them!

p.s. remind me of this wise counsel when I'm sniveling in a few months when Ash leaves for Kinder! :)

first of all, so jealous that you are out already. Last year I was so smug, out before labor-day, this year until the first week of June. We go nearly a whole week longer than you. So not fair!

Last week my pre-school meeting was for my little Princess, what am I going to do with two hours twice a week all to myself? maybe I'll just call you :).
