I have started 3 different posts since last week. Three different posts that for three different reasons I abandoned midway through.
Whether it was because I thought it sounded trite or whiny or just plain crazy, I decided against them.
But they all were somehow related to the fact that in two and a half weeks, I will have a Kindergartner and a Second Grader. And for a myriad of reasons, I am freaking out (quietly, most of the time, but occasionally, the crazy seeps out.)
One post was about not having dinner ready in a timely manner and how was that going to effect our new schedule once school starts that will include homework, bath time, story time, and a strict bed time, now times 2!
Another was about trying to give the boys a little freedom and let them roam a little farther away from us, while being completely terrified at that prospect.
And a third was about the fact that we haven't really censored music for the boys and that's going to come back and bite us in the ass in the near future I think. Probably with Finn. In Kindergarten. Singing "Bottoms Up". During snack time.
Truth is, I don't know what to think right now. Elwood is growing up so fast - I can't keep up. And Finn - who at this very moment is leaping from couch to couch like a spider monkey - is right there behind him. They have their moments when they need us, but more and more things are things they can handle on their own. But I can't handle them being independent - not yet at least.
