Kids Under Construction

I was making Nathan's bed and thinking about the time when there won't be all these (semi) little people's messes to clean up after - then I thought, hey wow these people are only staying here for awhile - they only stumbled on my house through my vagina, they stay awhile, eat alot of food, get a car and leave for college.

Luckily I'm somewhere between food and getting a car, there's still a fat chunk of years with them, except years go so fast that Christmasses can touch each other if they stretch their hands out far enough.

In the meantime, I will try not to kill Nathan's teachers for not preparing him for tests, and I'll try to limit Lilly's tv watching while I'm preparing Nathan for his test instead, and Emma, she is swept up in the wasteland between the two. I have to throw her a life preserver, and hope she bobs my way quick enough to know her before she's taller than me. Thank God she knows how to dress well and has a strong sense of herself.

Can't imagine if I was working at another job and they were floating along with LESS of me - it's hard enough with all my time. Okay, gotta go get Dolphin Bessie at preschool. Wearing basically clothes you would paint a house in.
