1. Again, I wonder what I did all those years we only had the Girl and she was in school all day. I should have a lot more books written, more sewing done, more crafts finished.
2. The Boy is having some discipline problems – mostly trying to figure out the tougher rules for kindergarten, which is a full day, after a year of preschool which was only half a day and less rule intensive.
3. What will we do when the Girl graduates and heads off for college? I don’t see her much as it is.
4. I could actually have lunch out with the Husband all by myself!
5. I can go to the gym in the afternoon, when it is less crowded, without worrying about the Boy and when I have to go get him.
6. I feel like I’ve found some of the crafts I’ve neglected.
7. The whole picking up after school for the Boy stinks and by the time we do get home, the Girl (who rides a bus) is already napping and it’s time to start dinner.
8. I do feel like we don’t spend a lot of time together as a family these days.
9. It’s very quiet around here and that’s not a bad thing.
10. I could actually nap and not have to worry about rushing out to pick someone up.
11. I did spend about an hour in the car on Tuesday running from picking up the Girl, running home so she could brush her teeth, dropping her off at the dentist, picking up the Boy, rushing back to the dentist, then taking everyone home.
12. The Girl’s 18th birthday is Sunday and we’ll have to start the whole “getting ready to go off to college” thing soon. Of course, she’ll probably go to LSU which is right nearby and where the Husband works, so it probably won’t be too bad.
13. With the Boy in kindergarten, we’ll be at this for a while!
Wow one going off to collage soon and one in kindergarden. What a mixture. We still got anouther week here before school. I need it to be soon! Deadlines looming like vultures!

‘Sounds like your’re very busy, and school can’t come soon enough. I hope that you’re able to do some of those things you want to do.
Good luck on getting The Girl off to college. I sent mine off a few years ago and my Boy off this year. Yes, it’s quiet at home and the Hubby and I are loving it.
Happy TT!
great post!!

Congratulations on finding all that lost time! It sounds like you stay busy! Best of luck.
My 13 is about romantic books this week and starting Sun, I will be featuring a chapter from a free romance story each week.
Great list.
Mine’s up.
I can’t wait to look around this site and learn more about you and your writing! I love to read and write romance too! The titles of your books read in 2006 are quite intriguing. I’m glad I found you!
Thank you for your comment. It brought me here to your Blog where I am looking for your book “Fabric of Faith”, but I find only an excerpt.
As you may have read I am trying to find NEW stories about romance for my Blog, some original work would be so nice, rather than only classics. Shot stories or a whole book that can be serialized. I caould not find a direct contact for you either, so if you may be interested in sending a story or two my way please contact me at michaelgs@romancefromtheheart.com
Yep goes to show you have to savour their younger years….mine are finished regular school. They’re now busy with university and working. That does give me alot of ‘me’ time.
Great TT!! Thanks for sharing!
