Where Does the Time Go?

Now that the school year is in in full swing, I am noticing that I have less and less time to record the highlights of our life. I know we are still changing and growing and many wonderful things are continuing to happen, yet I sometimes feel overwhelmed with all that has to get done in a week's time. The scary part is this is my two day quarter. Next week I will enjoy my last two day week before working three days a week until Christmas Vacation arrives. I know this sounds horrible to be complaining about, but we all get used to our own lifestyles, and while I am looking forward to being with my students more, I am saddened that I will be losing a day to enjoy my kids without the pressures of work, care for the needs of my family, and take my dog on long midday walks...the weather this time of year is perfect for that! Knowing the value of living each day to its fullest is what I must continue to remind myself of! With that I am going to go dig out my fall decorations, so I can surprise the kids when they get home. They've been bugging me for two weeks to pull them out!
