Where Did the Time Go?

Hello my LCNY fashionistas,


Where did July go?  I am officially putting the brakes on Summer, I need another month.  I feel like I can finally unwind and enjoy.  Here is the Davies update.  The newlyweds Meg and Matt are enjoying life....settling in to married life.  Perfect! Larry is happy to be in his apartment and getting used to a 40 hour work week...with two weeks vacation.  Welcome to the real world Smiley Happy.  Sarah and Bryan have now celebrated their one year anniversary and are picking up a dog Friday. Oh boy.......you know what that means first a dog and then.... Kevin moves in to college on August 20th.  Where did the time go?


I saw a sign posted on the local elementary school reminding parents that school starts on August 25th.  This will be the first time in 22 years that I will not be at a bus stop, packing lunches, getting the school supplies at staples and waiting at the end of the first day to hear all the news. I am not going to lie... It makes me a bit tearful.  So I decided the best way to handle this emotion is to pass on the baton.  Words of wisdom..


1.  Do not sweat the small stuff....it does not matter that they draw outside the lines, their penmanship is not perfect, they miss you everyday, they do not want to wear a jacket, they hate hats, and they only will eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for 6 years. Trust me....they are going to be ok.


2. There are going to be happy days with friends and very unhappy days with friends, by the time you try to help, they will be over it.  Really ....it blows like the wind every which way.  Just be there for support.


3.  Enjoy every single moment.   My Mom told me this when our twins were born.. I was so exhausted the first 6 months I can barely remember.  I wish I could rewind...cherish the moments.


4.  Sometimes our little darlings get burned out...school is tough.  We had a special day in the Davies house.  It was called a mental health day.  I would have the weary student take a day off with MOM.  We would have a backward lunch (dessert first) and rent or go to the movies.  Believe me these are the special things they remember not your perfect meatloaf.


Kevin will be moving on, Linda is growing up, and Wednesday morning we get to share an hour together.  I look forward to seeing you soon....grab that cup of joe and tune in at 9am....MBR and I will be looking for you.
