I say this every time, but “where has the time gone?”  This week I took my son, who will turn 5 in October, to his first day of Pre-K.  I have heard too many times to “enjoy this time because before you know it they will be graduating.” I really didn’t know whether to cry or celebrate his first day of school, but I know that I will look back and say that yes, it did go too fast.

I also realized that for my second child I haven’t written much on my blog and I feel like she will miss out on all the little day-to-day thoughts that I used to share regularly before splitting my time between kids, husband, work and home life.

Which brings me to “making time for me” section.  I just started a new job that enables me to leave my job at a decent hour to come home and spend time with .the family.  But I still cannot make it to the gym to workout either at night (since Joe is back in school this fall) or in the morning (since I am usually up until midnight and have a hard time getting up so early).  So I guess I will have to wait until I am an “empty nester” to do the things that I want to do like scrapbooking, working out, writing on my blog and date night.

Speaking of date night, Joe and I used to have a regular date night every Friday but LIFE has made that more of a challenge.  We used to “make date night a priority” and we hear that from others but when you have soccer practice on a Friday evening or birthday parties on the weekends, dates become “few and far between.”

But regardless of all this, I know that “God is good” and that is not a cliché but an unfailing truth that sustains me through every point in my life.
