Do you ever have those moments when you simultaneously wish time would hurry up and also slow down? I am soo ready for the summer to be over because it means we will have our 2 exchange students here with us. Then there is that reality check that it will mean that another summer is over with my kids. I only have 6 more summers after this with Hais. That is devastating to think about!
I want to savor every second but they seconds pass so quickly.
I am sitting at a Starbucks in Briargate. I am here to do homework. Dad is in town- so I am taking advantage of the chance to escape in peace. I had the day scheduled off already- so I am finishing homework in the corner of a very busy Starbucks. I have discovered- I love people watching too much to accomplish much of anything here in public. I am distracted with the family that is meeting with a photographer. They are discussing an upcoming family shoot, outfits, locations, and poses. The table next to me is a lady who seems to be mentoring a younger woman. They have their bibles out and are discussing life. Lots of activity and all I am thinking is that I wish I did not have to go to work tomorrow cause I miss being an active part of life. I feel like life is passing me by with my crazy schedule.
Dad has already told me like 4 times in the last 48 hours that I am doing too much. I am overloading myself, unnecessarily. He thinks I need to quit and I agree. I love my job and love my co-workers. However- life is flying by and there is no way to slow it down with a full time job. I am hoping to work for one more month before I quit. However- that feels like a lifetime away. I give mad credit to working mommas out there. I have spent the last 12 years being a stay at home momma. It is not without its challenges for sure. However- I was with my kids (both a blessing and a curse at times). I miss my kids. I miss picking them up from school. I miss having breakfast with them. I miss a clean house! lol
Another rambling post. I think it is the theme of my blog. Going to head home cause this is not the place for me to accomplish anything!
