I'm feeling...I can really relate to your post. I'm feeling those same pangs of guilt. I always feel like I should be doing "something" around the house. If I do take a few minutes to sit and relax my mind is always spinning on what next needs to be done. I often find myself telling the kids "just a minute". I know that's the worst thing to do, but I just seem to fall into that trap. They do grow up so quickly. I look at my little girl and can't believe she's 7 1/2 and starting 2nd grade in a month. Thank you for reminding me I truly need to "cherish everyday" and stop worrying about what I need to do. What I need to do is stop and play with my children while they're still children.Love Letters To Chinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07274460455404016042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984213901968219713.post-90975477778830715012010-07-28T12:38:21.206-05:002010-07-28T12:38:21.206-05:00I'm sending my Chloe off to Kindergarten in a ...I'm sending my Chloe off to Kindergarten in a month, and it's hitting me too.

It was way to quiet at my house the last few days (-2 kids) and instead of tackling all the "to-dos" I read a book and played with my almost one year old. The list will always be there, that's what I kept telling myself.<br /><br />Birthday parties! Yikes! That went by so fast! I can't wait to see pictures!<br /><br />I have one going to pre-school and I just dread it. I will be along side you (a little north though) with a box of kleenex. That will be one sad day. I haven't even brought myself to get the school supplies for fear reality is setting in.<br /><br />Hugs!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611865831958609009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984213901968219713.post-15000064315371678652010-07-28T07:20:54.169-05:002010-07-28T07:20:54.169-05:00such a sweet post. thank you, for sharing your tho...such a sweet post. thank you, for sharing your thoughts.<br /><br />Lea<br />xoNumber 6 and no more counting!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12344713441793706790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984213901968219713.post-9978551117353998412010-07-28T06:45:25.792-05:002010-07-28T06:45:25.792-05:00Amen to cherish everyday.

I know just yesterday my children were small; remembering the giggles of orneryness; I blinked a moment ago and our son is now a Senior in high school, and daughter is in 5th grade. I was going through pictures to put together for his senior scrapbook; he is my bonus son; he has been living with us since the latter part of 5th grade, and to see pictures of him from the moment he was born to now was nothing short of amazing. I have found that journaling to him and my daughter (10 yrs. old) helps me cherish those moments and hang onto the 'snapshots' of life that pass through us at lightning speeds. Thank you for sharing. And I love how you brought to light how we feel we must be doing 'something'. That sentence inspired me that when I feel like I must do something; I could capture the moment of watching my child sleep or making a giggly memory in that something moment where I feel the to do list grows like a weed, attempting to rob me of that special time. Thank you for the reminder; you are so beautiful...and I celebrate you!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192642092137482710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984213901968219713.post-33950324998678325002010-07-28T06:29:10.508-05:002010-07-28T06:29:10.508-05:00I am SO there with you! We were just talking about...I am SO there with you! We were just talking about Kdg. last night and how Easton is going to have a big adjustment to all day school. (And Mom too!!!) You really hit the nail on the head on so many issues Angie--time just does not slow down does it? And it's easy to get swooped up in things that "need" to get done--all the while these treasures have somehow grown up and away from us. It makes me teary. Thanks for the reminder to treasure these fleeting days and really savor them!<br />(Great, now I'll probably make the next 3 weeks ultra fun and make that transition back to school even harder for them--ha!)<br />Hugs,<br />ValerieValerie and Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262396189658326210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984213901968219713.post-59232373239840680232010-07-27T23:30:44.209-05:002010-07-27T23:30:44.209-05:00OH it's so not fun to send them off.
