So how do I top yesterday's post?
I have no clue!
Nothing funny today, sorry!
Olivia and Michael finished school yesterday. I'm quite sad about this. Next year they will be both be leaving the house together....the bus for junior and senior high school comes at 6:40. Michael has been getting on the bus at 8:00 for elementary school for the past 6 years and will be in junior high next year.
Wow, where did the years go?
Olivia starts her job next week. Michael is leaving for a camping trip Friday night and will be gone until Sunday afternoon.
How and when did they stop being little kids and start doing all these things without me?
Oh I know they still need me, but it's a different kind of need. Olivia still needs me to drive her to work and pick her up at the end of the day. She goes for her driving test next month, but do you think I'm going to let her take MY car and just go??? I don't think so.
Michael needs me to take him shopping for his camping trip. He'll need me to help him pack and he'll hopefully call me at least once while he's gone!
But...do they really need me?
I think so.
One thing's for sure...I know I need them!
They are my life and the best gifts I have ever received.

What cute kids you have.
I can't even go to the school today for Bradley's last day because I can't stop crying. Time just goes soooo fast. I really need to learn how to stop time.
As soon as I figure it out...I will let you know!
Liz says

You have beautiful children. Yes, they grow up way too fast. I thought I did so much with my kids when they were young and at home. Now that they are adults, I keep wishing I had done even more. Don't know when I could have done it...but I still wish.
Too early for you...but grandchildren are WONDERFUL!

I know it's hard seeing them grow up right before your eyes....your babies! But they still need you....even my 20 year son needs me still! Being a mom is THE BEST job ever! I'm so thankful and blessed with my kids! I think it's the highest calling!

What a beautiful family you have.
I truly agree with all the other comments, they will always need you.
We have watched our 3 sons go from babies into fine adults and now fathers. The circle of life is a beautiful thing.
God bless

awww...your kids are beautiful. You even named one after me. Thank you for that. 🙂 I'm right there with you. My little girl, my best girlfriend, just graduated from high school. She keeps telling me, "I'm not gone yet, stop crying," but I tell her she doesn't understand...she kinda is gone or at least one foot out the door. At least she's not in a hurry.
God bless you today dear friend.

This is so very true and I even realized when I got tobring home my first baby girl...I cried realizing how fast she would grow up! That just made me realize how important it is to savor each blessed moment we have with them at any age (even when they're driving us crazy)!
Now I get to savor both my children and the little grandchildren...God is so good!
blessings,
marcy
p.s. I kinda like the 'egg' story too, so glad you enjoyed it.
