Kindergarten and High School all in one year

I have been thinking about what lies ahead. Two huge changes will take place next school year. Hannah will enter high school and start early morning seminary and Claire will start kindergarten. Wow that is a lot for me to take in. It seems just the other day we were bringing Hannah home from the hospital.

Claire and I had the talk about her starting kindergarten and I told her I will be so lonely without my buddy. Her response was, "you still have Bonnie" aka the dog. I was thinking but the dog doesn't come and talk to me or dance and sing to keep the house from being so quiet.

I remember just a few days (years) ago I was begging for peace and quiet and now its right around the corner and I'm worried. Claire tells me all the time, "I want to grow up momma." How can you take that from her.

As far as Hannah I have her for 4 more years and then she is off to school. (I hope) Where did the time go? My worry for her is that, have I taught her all the things that I should?

So as my little girls keep growing I will continue to enjoy the journey and hopefully it will slow down just a bit.

Can we start 2011 over?

As you read this don't fall down from shock. It is really me. I am going to try to start blogging again.

We have started 2011 with a bang. All of our family got the flu bug and Claire had strep with it. It has been joyous. Lots of washing and cleaning. Lots of moaning and groaning. Now they are going stir crazy from being cooped up so long. So lets see SICK KIDS + CRAZY MOM = INSANITY.

I hope its all coming to an end. I can see light at the end of the tunnel. So soon i can say

WELL KIDS + HAPPY MOM= PEACE . As for dad he got it too but tends to run when throw up starts so need I say more.
