Time to join Pam and share the moments we're going to miss one day...because life is so short! Sometimes it's hard to find those moments among our busy schedules, but that's what I love about participating in this...it makes me stop and think about it and appreciate them so much more!
I wasn't sure I was going to post a Moment this week...and here it is almost midnight and I'm just sitting down to relax! I cannot seem to just go to bed at night no matter how late it is...without just sitting down at the computer, watching tv and trying to relax. And that brings me to a moment I just know I'm going to miss...being busy! The snow is melting, school is back on schedule, and activities are in full swing again! Whew!
Sunday - Teach Sunday School, celebrate Grandma Martha's 93rd birthday with the family {if only I had as much energy as she does!}
Monday - Pick Emily up from school, after-school activity for Alex and Emily
Tuesday - Volunteer in Emily's class {had lots of fun using the laminator!} grab lunch and head to preschool board meeting, go home get Alex off the bus and head to ice-skating to drop Emily off, take Alex for weekly allergy shot, pick up Emily and then back to school to pick up Market Day order.
Wednesday - MOPS meeting, pick Emily up from school, eat lunch {Wendy's again!} back to school for teacher conference for Alex {I'm so proud of him! I bragged about how much Alex loves school and that he's never missed a day in his life!}
Thursday - Alex couging and slight fever...decided he should not go to school today {I totally jinxed myself the day before!} brought him along to my follow-up periodontist appointment from my gum graft, then to Target {of course!} pick Emily up from school... Alex is feeling better due to the high-volume of fun going on in the sun room! {Alex told me it's no fun being sick and making up homework, but is lots of fun being absent! We are bummed he will not get his perfect attendance award this semester...boohoo!} Take Emily to ballet.
Friday - pick Emily up from school, eat lunch at Wendy's {seriously...we're there alot!} another after-school activity, take Emily to meet Grandma for a sleep-over, Alex and I went on a date to Chili's and to Toys R Us!
Saturday - Pick Emily up from Grandma's house and go to my cousin's baby shower!
{...Repeat...}
The poor car has been running all week...so I finally pampered her with a car wash yesterday! So far, we have managed to be home for dinner every night this week, and that is what's most important, but it doesn't always happen that way. Emily will perform in the annual Ice Show at the end of April and her annual ballet Recital in June...and hopefully a summer vacation to Cancun after that {yippee!} ...Alex and Emily will both be playing baseball this summer...and I truly hope we can slow down before I lose them both to school all day next Fall! Wah! Emily will not be a first grader...and Alex a second grader! It's just not possible!
{first day of preschool August 2006}
One day I will wish for these busy, non-stop days...because Alex and Emily will be all grown up and the house will be still and quiet...and I know I'm going to miss it someday!
What will you miss someday? Be sure to stop by Pam's and share you special moment with us!
Oh my goodness.... talk about PRECIOUS! Gosh, I miss those young days of total innocence, chubby cheeks and squeaky voices. They don't last long enough.
ReplyDeleteHope all is going well for you! I know what "busy repetition" means. I'm right there with ya!!! {{hugs}}
REading your post just reminded me that next week is going to be 10x busier for me than normal. Events at the school everyday. Hope my camera can survive.
ReplyDeleteCute picture of the two of them...they looks so chubby faced. I love it! They are adorable.
I hear ya on being busy and yes...one day we will miss it...even though now we would like it to slow down a bit:)
I know what you mean...if they are not at something than Ryan or I am...and usually it is some kind of practice! It is nice when it does slow down and I know this summer will provide an abesnce of sports (for the boys at least), which will be wierd! Here's to remembering to slow down and love it while we are super busy!!
ReplyDeleteYou have been one busy momma this week! We have had a crazy week here too. Even though I am going to miss those busy weeks, I am hoping for a nice boring week next week so I can recover from all the stuff we did this week:) That picture is TOO adorable!
ReplyDeleteAfter all the snow days and time off school, this crazy-busy spring is going to be particularly trying. But like you, I know that someday I'll be missin' it, too. Spring ball season is always hectic for us anyway. After such a laid back winter (thanks to so much snowfall) it is going to be hard to keep up. I think I'll bookmark this page and re-read it each time I'm feeling overwhelmed! ;)
ReplyDeleteCan I say that I'm tired after just READING your post. Wow, but so great that that you are so involved with your kids like that and you keep them active. I'm sure they appreciate it a great deal. Ooh, Cancun!!!!
ReplyDeleteBoy do I know what you mean. But it's so hard for us to slow down especially when we have more than one child doing different activities. Oh, and how I wish I had Cancun to look forward to, especially after this winter!! Miss you!
ReplyDeletehey there busy girl!!!
ReplyDeletea car wash? what's that? I think my car has changed color it's so dirty, ha ha.
yes these kids just keep growing up no matter how much we want them to stay small :)
have a wonderful (busy) week!
My heavens girl.... I bet you sleep good at night! ;) I love the picture of the kids.... absolutely precious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy week. It has been the same around here lately. And every time you post a picture of the kiddos when they were littler, it makes me freak out about how quickly my kids are growing up. I don't want them to be big school-going kids yet but I am determined to love every moment of them being little and loving their Mommy.
ReplyDeleteI love the last photo!!
ReplyDeleteOH SO CUTE!!!
