It seems like yesterday... I was looking down at this little "baby moses" baby SWADDLED up and looking up at me with the biggest eyes I had ever seen.... like I was looking down at this SWADDLED, hefty little gal in a pink crochet hat that made my heart pump happy.....like I was looking down at this SWADDLED, 9 lb. big boy that was our #3 but extra special with my Daddy's name.... Now... I look at them all.... STRAPPED with backpacks.... going off to SCHOOL???? Did somebody like fast forward time??? That was fast! Really? I'm suppose to like make lunches and check homework and lay out clothes and sign folders and console and council and take to sporting activities and get to bed on time? What about the sippy cups and cuddling and snuggling and diapers and pacifiers???? Do they make those for moms? I might need some extra cuddling and a paci? All of my babies are growing too fast!! Well... I do still have one little long eye lashed, spoiled rotten, messy headed princess to keep me company at home... ok ok... hold off on the paci.... I can get through this.
Thought I would post a few throwbacks just for pure entertainment! LOL! Hope you all are adjusting to school if ya got it... or whatever change life is throwing at you right now. For me....It's feeling like a whippin...there's crying... there's meltdowns, there's drama, there's homework, there's ...oh yeah... school! But I am gonna get over the sting and move on with it! Right? As my hilarious workout shirt says.... "suck it up buttercup".... gotta love workout motivation and for me.... this transition of life...motivation! We don't use that word in our home...but yet... I wear this shirt to the gym.... well that is because sometimes you just gotta do what the shirt says! :) No time for whinin in this house! I got 4 littles to do that for me!!!
