We are home sick. Logan and little Shawn have been sick all weekend. Logan is still fighting the bug.
So I have been washing sheets, clothes, you name it. While I was sitting here eating my lunch, I came across a message board post at Two Peas In A Bucket about the Darius Rucker song: It won't be like this.
Here is a link:
So this got me thinking.....more so reflecting. That no matter how many sheets I have to wash because they missed the bucket and got puke on them. Or how many times sets of clothing I have to wash because they didn't make it into the bathroom fast enough. Or telling them over and over again to clean up their messes. That like will not always be this way. One day they will get older and move out. They will have their own lives and families. It won't matter the days I missed from work while they were sick or the money we didn't have to take a family vacation.
The truth is our children are growing up faster and faster every day and there is not a single thing we can do to stop it. I can preserve it. I can photograph it. But Today won't repeat itself. For when the sun sets, it will become a memory.
So today as I am home with my youngest, our last baby, I will have this song in my head repeating itself over and over and over again.
Enjoy!

Hi Sherri....you said it perfectly! I often remind myself that one day (very soon since time flys) that it will be just me and Dave and I hate to think that. I don't get on Robert anymore for leaving his socks all over the house. Don't you wish we could stop time sometimes? :)
Time flys by fast.. take it from me.. I already have some who have left the nest! I hope the kiddos get to feeling better!
