Four Denizens in various states of excitement, denial, and disgust were loaded up and disbursed to their various schools Tuesday morning.
I blinked, and summer vacation is over.
I blinked, and May became August.
I blinked, and my baby became a sixth grader. And my eldest a high school senior. HOW is this possible?!
…omg…in nine short months my baby is going to be a LEGAL! ADULT!
{…crawls into box, shuts flap…not happening, not happening, not happening…}
Sigh.
Time is playing a nasty trick on me these last few years. On the one hand, the individual days often feel interminable; each 24-hour period seems to take fifty hours or more to actually happen, you know?
But at the same time, the daily grind lulls me into a kind of timeless state; each day blurs into the next, simultaneously interminable and yet on the whole going by so damned fast that I am constantly feeling this way. Is it Monday, or Thursday? Wait, it’s Friday already? WAIT. How can it be AUGUST already?! What happened to July? Or JUNE, for that matter?!
Because all I did was blink, and spring became summer became almost-fall.
…all I did…was blink…

I hear you! The last few years have flown by for us, too. I now have three young adults living with me....going to college, working, writing, frequently blowing me out of the water with their kindness, intelligence and creativity. How did my babies get so - so - NOT babyish?!? It's mind-boggling. But you know, this is a great stage too; I'm getting to know them as individual adults, not "just" my kids, and it's pretty cool. Enjoy the ride, Tama!
