Changing times

Times they are a changin. Do I like this? Eehh, depends on the changes.
Last weekend the kiddo's and I were driving along chattering about this and that and it hit me: my babies are getting big!! I mean BIG!! BB was talking about the end of the school year coming up and the traditions his school has. Apparently there is quite a tribute paid to the leaving 5th graders. Then BB pointed out that next year he will be a 5th grader!!! DQ will be a 4th grader!!! OK, I'm not dense, I knew this, but I didn't KNOW this. We have 2 years of elementary school left-- I still remember the first day of preschool. Oh my heart is breaking! Gone are the days of PB&J otter, rolling on the kitchen floor in a fit of giggles, kool aide moustaches, and sleepy after nap snuggles. Here comes the days of I need $5, can I spend the night with so and so, and what is SEX??? Oh my aching heart!
The other change facing me is I'm about to be a college/nursing school graduate. That is a good and a bad thing in my mind. I've loved being a stay at home mommy (but your kids need to actually be here for that to count!). Also, what excuse am I going to have for my endless pile of laundry, sink full of dishes, and car that looks like a trash can? I won't be able to pawn that off on studying any more---hmmmmm, any ideas what I can use now? The up side is no more care plans, scary instructors and 4 hr exams!!! I guess you just have to take the good with the bad and do the best you can. In the mean time I think I'm gonna snuggle with my babies today!
