Sighhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well today was a huge day in my girls lives especially my big one. Gosh I wish time would slow down some. I remember when they were little and the big deal was going to the park. Now today my big one started high school. I thought she'd be nervous but instead she was excited. I thought she'd want someone to be with her at orientation instead she already had figured out the school map and her combination to her locker. I remember the days of blowing bubbles and playing chase. Now it's basketball scrimmages and geometry.

The girls love their new schools... both of them do. I was worried that one or the other would have a hard day or feel alone. But they both found their old friends and formed their own posseys. Kiersten even found old friends from her first school. She actually is thrilled to be at this new school. Both so independent and brave. I know when I was younger I did NOT like changing schools. I am so proud of them and how they were able to so quickly adjust to this whole new adventure.

But today I wish I had some time bottled up when they were little. I miss those days today. I miss them being little and being able to put them both on my lap. It use to be we watched Barney.. now it's football and basketball. I just would like the time to slow down. I feel like I have an hour glass and the sand is quickly draining out. Some many things go thru my mind of things I still need to teach them.. things like checkbooks, and more cooking, or how to take stains out of laundry, stuff that we don't think about.. life stuff. Also right now to them the world is this great big wonderful place. And while they are growing bigger, it's starting to get harder for me to block the shots that the world can throw at them. I'm just beginning to realize that I still have alot to teach them.

Time needs to slow down.
