time flies

time flies by Daniela M. Casalla

Time flies, and isn't it fun to be a spectator?

Talk next door is about drivers ed, letter jacket, prom dresses, class rings…. Wow, this next era in the grandkids' lives is going to be exciting, but are their parents up for it?

With school starting in less than 3 weeks, summer winds down. The grandkids are trickling back home after a summer with their other parents… current plans are for shopping for school clothes and supplies, getting sports physicals and drug testing.

I can't even imagine shopping for 4 - ages 11-15, can you?

Hoping for strength goes out to their mom, 3 more weeks of kids underfoot, attitudes, appetites, hormones... probably the only time Melissa wishes she didn't work at home. Hang in there!

Thanks mom! I'll just have to keep the "PK" shirt of yours in my mind and remember that is the goal :)

I CAN REMEMBER WHEN WE GOT JEANS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL. LEVI'S HEAVY,DARK BLUE,AND YOU HAD TO ROLL THEM UP ABOUT THREE TIMES TO BE ABLE TO WEAR THEM ALL YEAR AS YOU GROW.
KIDS WOULD BE HORRIFIED IF THEY HAD TO DO AS WE DID IN THE "OLDEN" DAYS. LUNCH BOX, PLAID SHIRTS, CREW CUTS, BUTCH WAX, OLD SPICE. (KINDA STILL LIKE IT.) YEAH, KIDS LIVE ALOT DIFFERENT FROM THEN. BUT YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT WHAT THE MOTHER HAS TO DO TODAY. MUCH HARDER I THINK!
