Then summer was here..and it was so good to us this year. But man, you're right, all the fun we had made it fly by. I'm having the same feelings for our newly turned preschooler. She starts in 2 weeks, and I'm having an extremely hard time with it. I'll go grab us a box of tissues.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Tiff<BR/><BR/>BTW, are you a teacher?4under3https://www.blogger.com/profile/15795018839452123598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104284939917659031.post-31101885846155082102008-08-23T03:15:00.000-04:002008-08-23T03:15:00.000-04:00It is sad but also so sweet how genuine you are ab...It is sad but also so sweet how genuine you are about missing your children as you go back to work. As a homeschooling mother I sometimes feel a tug in the other direction--wanting a couple of hours a week to myself. However, I've known enough people who can't WAIT for the school bus to come pick up their kids at the end of summer. I've even seen signs in people's yards saying something like, "Busdriver, PLEASE don't forget to pick up my kids!" So to me, your sadness is real but refreshing!<BR/><BR/>On another note, I looked back on your brother's memorial blog and noticed that you just celebrated your 20th hs reunion. As I think I may have told you, seeing the blog you created for your brother was the inspiration for me to start one for my brother who died almost 21 years ago. He would have celebrated his 25th reunion a couple of weeks ago. It's been very therapeutic for me really. It's also been fun reconnecting with our neighbors and his friends. I even learned that one of his grade school classmates who posted a message is married to the plumber on Desperate Housewives! <BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for the inspiration!L a u r ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357937710419543594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104284939917659031.post-74877112155790820102008-08-19T14:29:00.000-04:002008-08-19T14:29:00.000-04:00I, too, know what you mean about being sad to see ...I, too, know what you mean about being sad to see the summer end. My little one is starting 3rd grade! That's nuts! And my middle is starting preschool. It's all too much for a pregnant lady to handle! :) School starts for us this upcoming Monday, and I'm sure I'll have my tissues on hand, as well. :)Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615832339028824199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104284939917659031.post-59191904896675952982008-08-19T13:33:00.000-04:002008-08-19T13:33:00.000-04:00Hun, I know it's the not the same as being home wi...Hun, I know it's the not the same as being home with them during summer, but think about the way you said Pumpkin excitedly greeted you at daycare when you picked him up yesterday...and think of everything that Peanut will want to share with you with every new day of kindergarten. That kind of stuff should help get you through each day.<BR/><BR/>Also, I know I'm behind on giving you back and leg rubs...something you'll probably need more of now that school's starting again. Maybe I can play catch-up over <I>Big Brother 10</I> tonight. ;)FilmFatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572370403623288465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104284939917659031.post-19315214930921015922008-08-18T21:13:00.000-04:002008-08-18T21:13:00.000-04:00That makes me sad.

I have enjoyed lazy mornings and carefree days. Fortunately, these next rounds of chemo will be scheduled while the boys are at school and preschool and they will not know what I did that day. I will also have an opportunity to rest those days before they come home. <BR/><BR/>I am thinking of you as the summer comes to a close.Anderson Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17619576816206370856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104284939917659031.post-34947163788830469662008-08-18T11:53:00.000-04:002008-08-18T11:53:00.000-04:00Thinking of you today.

I have always thought that higher pay and retirement should come at the beginning of our career, so that we would have the money and time to raise our children! Then we could just work until we are older and we wouldn't need as much income, cuz the kids would be out on their own! Ha.Gemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870507321175319553noreply@blogger.com
