There may be more daylight hours, but I’m still running short on time. I have no idea where it goes.
A prime example is that Seth (my oldest) will be going on his first formal date next month. Already I feel gray hairs popping through my scalp.
He’ll be escorting the young lady to the ROTC ball. The young men will be in dress blues, the young ladies, formal attire. In order to pay for their tickets, a wrist corsage for his date, and a Sam’s Club box of tissue for me, he’s started his own fertilizer business. I swear it was only yesterday he was learning to ride a tricycle, playing in the toilet, and painting himself with food coloring on St. Patrick’s Day.

I’d love to see ya!
Oh goodness! Is it that time already?! Where does the time go?
Yes, I am expecting!! Isn’t it amazing after so long?! YAY me!
I’m SO excited for you Steph!
It is astonishing how quickly time passes, especially when you try to gauge it by the milestones of your progeny. Our son gets married next month and I’m thinking he’s too young (he’ll be 27!?). Glad to see you’re still waxing creative for the masses down there in Texas.
Congrats on your son getting married. I know I don’t have to tell you, but that’s just around the corner.

Congrats on the book! I’d love to come if I was less than a dozen hour flight away.
I can’t believe how fast they grow. My little man will be 3 in ten days and it seems like yesterday.
Thanks! Hey, I wished we lived closer, but given my record with Erma Bombeck-type incidents, that might be risky. ;o)
It DOES seem like yesterday when you had they little guy. I hope he has a great birthday!
That’s what I always say about my kids. I can’t belileve that they’re 24 and 26 and now they each have a child of their own.
I hope Seth has a great time at the ROTC dance.
