Time...

Where has the time gone? As a child I never thought so much of it as it seemed to pass so slowly, but as an adult I frequently ask myself where does my time go?

Here I sit at my wonderful parents house, with an almost 5 yr old wild & crazy boy... my baby (whom I probably really can't call that anymore) my special 8 yr old boy (whom my life seems to revolve around at times, but I can't stop) and my supportive husband (who does work so hard to provide for us). I look back at our almost 18 years of marriage and see where we are now... so many questions whirl through my head. But it comes down to choices. We all make them, and it's by our own God-given free will that we can make good or bad ones, which place us on the path we currently take.

Where does my time get allotted to lately, things like... trips to the stores to either feed the family or clothe the boys, cleaning up giant piles of toys or clothes, keeping the boys from killing each other, managing tv and video game time, spend time talking and cuddling each boy each day, keeping up with preschool needs as well the many emails and phone calls from Josiah's school needs, driving to and from the many different Dr appts and therapy appts that help us manage our son's growing special needs, oh yes...and cooking and baking for my family (quite possibly the most enjoyable part of my day).....then occasionally slipping in a few minutes at the end of the day (for myself) to pick up a book and get lost in another reality besides my own.

Time is a "relative" sort of thing. It passes slowly at times (most likely when the kids are driving my insane) and so darn fast at other times (such as, treasured vacations). I am learning to slow my head down and try to enjoy something from each day.

I would like to say that I will get back to blogging regularly but I think that might be a little optimistic, for now I would love if you would stop by on occasion if you're interested in reading a little about what is happening in "our neck of the woods."

May you be blessed
