It's hard to believe so much time has past since my last post. End of summer/back to school activities have swallowed all my time. I have said many times that days are long, but time flies.
I have found establishing a routine helps, but with several children getting everyone on the same schedule is difficult. Next to impossible if they are teenagers.
Yesterday morning, before school, my youngest son and I had a few minutes before he had to get on the bus. Instead of watching TV, he wanted to play a card game with me.
I'm so glad I chose him rather than one of the things that constantly needs my attention. Now we have that memory of laughing together.
One day soon, he will be off to college. Then building his own life away from home. We blink and they are grown.
Days are long, but time flies. Don't waste precious chances to make memories. They are fleeting.
